The
Nexter Narwhal naval remote weapon systems is particularly designed for
use in light ships with very high manoeuvrability for monitoring and close-in
combat actions but may also be suitable for heavier tonnage ships. The
effectiveness of the weapon is optimised by a stabilised sight associated
with a fire-control system, while improving the operator's safety. In its basic configuration, the NARWHAL consists of a gyrostabilised mounting armed with a 20 mm cannon, a day camera and a fire-control system which is remotely-contolled from a control panel enabling system operation, target acquisition and tracking and fire opening by the operator. |
