ST Kinetics’ Remote Weapon Station (RWS) is a remotely operated two-axis stabilised weapon station. Equipped with advanced sightings and video tracking, the versatile system provides the gunner with enhanced target engagement whether the platform is stationary or on the move. The RWS is available in either single or dual weapon configuration. The wide range of weapons that may be mounted include the 7.62mm Coaxial, CIS 50MG and the CIS 40AGL. The Compact Sensor Unit with a CCD day camera and cooled thermal imager on board enables the gunner to operate the system in day and night operations. The specially mounted Sensor Unit enables the gunner to maintain his line-of-sight with the target especially when the weapon is in super-elevation angle. Video and audio recorder allows recording and playback of footage recorded by the gunner. Modularity of the electronics and control units allows flexible installation. The weapon station allows inhibit zones for firing and motion to be defined by the gunner or by default. Integrated Round Counter enables the gunner to access the remaining number of ammunition for target engagement. Multiple settable target reference points allow rapid slewing of the weapon station to the pre-designated surveillance points. The weapon station permits automatic scanning for surveillance purposes. The RWS can be easily integrated on a wide range of existing wheeled and tracked vehicles. (www.stengg.com)
