Israel-based Steadicopter and Smart Shooter have developed a new type of rotating drone equipped with a modern turret system.
According to the companies’ statement, the new drone, called the Golden Eagle, is the first unmanned helicopter capable of precision strikes.
Based on the combat-proven Black Eagle 50E platform, the Golden Eagle combines AI-based technology and Smart Shooter’s SMASH Dragon system. AI-based technology enables superior situational awareness and automatic multi-target classification and tracking. The SMASH Dragon, a remote-controlled robotic weapon, locks onto the target, tracks the target and ensures precise hit.

SMASH Dragon integrates a unique stabilizing concept with a proprietary tracking and target acquisition algorithm and sophisticated computer vision capabilities that enable precise hitting of stationary and moving targets when mounted on the Golden Eagle. The system can use a variety of assault rifles, sniper rifles, 40mm and other ammunition with high accuracy.
Through advanced data processing, the AI system automatically identifies and distinguishes between different types of targets, such as people or vehicles, whether they are in motion or stationary, and whether they are already there. on the ground or not.
Light in weight and thus enabling long duty endurance, extremely cost effective, simple to operate and easy to maintain, the Golden Eagle is capable of vertical take-off and landing to complete the mission. successful.
“Today’s complex combat environments call for cutting-edge solutions that enable forces to execute missions and neutralize them,” said Noam Lidor, Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Business Development at Steadicopter. target from afar, even before entering the area.” “Using artificial intelligence, the new system provides a field-based solution for the modern battlefield. Forces on the ground can now send one helicopter for automated intelligence gathering into the area of concern and, after identifying and classifying the targets, send another helicopter with precision attack. “
Dr. Abraham Mazor, Vice President of Marketing & Business Development at Smart Shooter: “Using AI, computer vision, and advanced algorithms, Smart Shooter’s SMASH technology enhances the efficiency of any task through through precision engagement and ground, air and naval, stationary or moving target engagement during both day and night operations. Our SMASH Dragon light robotic weapon payload can be deployed on different drone platforms and we are honored to partner with Steadicopter and jointly deliver the Golden Eagle RUAS. ”
