“We are very pleased that our PROTECTOR MCRWS has been selected as the solution for this Stryker brigade. The system is the result of several years of determined effort to develop a system with capabilities and performance required for these types of vehicles,” says Espen Henriksen, President of Kongsberg Protech Systems.

“This is a very important milestone for our newest innovation in this field, the Medium Caliber RWS, and we are honored to support US Army and General Dynamics Land Systems in this urgent operational requirement,” says Walter Qvam, President and CEO of KONGSBERG.

KONGSBERG has extensive experience with remote weapon stations, and has delivered more than 17,000 units since 2001. The PROTECTOR MCRWS has been developed over the last six years, based on the expertise KONGSBERG has gained delivering remote weapon systems to 17 nations over the last 15 years.

Kongsberg began working with Stryker maker General Dynamics Land Systems on the MCRWS in 2008. The company also makes the M151 RWS (Remote Weapon Station) that’s currently on the Stryker vehicles.

The Norwegian Company Konsberg has developed the PROTECTOR MCT30 which provides highly accurate firepower for wheeled and tracked combat/armored vehicles. The system is remotely controlled and operated from a protected position inside the vehicle compartment. The main armament is a 30mm automatic cannon equipped with a link less ammunition handling system for increased reliability compared to traditional link fed cannon systems.

The cannon can easily be upgraded to fire 40mm ammunition (Super 40). The turret can be accessed and reloaded from under armor. Furthermore it can be configured as a single user system or a dual user system with a hunter killer capability. The flexible structure of the system and built in options makes it easy to tailor the system to specific customer requirements.
