Systems is launching its newly designed tactical remote turret, the TRT-R30MK,
at the 2012 Africa Aerospace and Defence exhibition from 19 – 21
September. The turret will be displayed for the first time on the company’s
RG41 vehicle outside hall 4. “The TRT family of turrets provides soldiers with a spectrum of self-protection and ground fire support capability, combined with the safety of an armoured protected vehicle,” said Johan Steyn, managing director, Land Systems South Africa. |

The TRT-R30MK
is a remotely-operated weapon system that will enable vehicles to operate
in multi-role deployments and in multiple theatres. The system draws on
BAE Systems’ experience in previous remote turret technology development,
such as the TRT-25. It is designed as an effective, high-performance threat
neutraliser, achieving a firing range of more than 2,500 meters with day
and night fighting and observation capability. The turret’s control
station can be integrated anywhere in the vehicle allowing for increased
internal space for crew or extra payload. |
