This remote controlled weapon system is developed to enhance the fire power of light infantry vehicles to engage vehicles with armor protection up to STANAG 4569 Level IV. The ammunition of the 14.5mm has twice the kinetic energy of the 12.7mm. The system with the correct ammunition can penetrate 20mm RHA at 50° at a distance of 1,000m.

The Remote Weapon System will be able to fit a 14.5mm, 12.7mm, 40mm or a 7 62mm machine gun.

The system is designed to be light weight and can be mounted on almost any combat vehicle. The system can be operated by one crew-member from under or behind cover with a remote control.

The sight system consist of a day and thermal imaging camera to engage targets any time of day. The accuracy is improved with a laser range finder. The system will be able to engage targets on the move as the weapon will be stabilized and the ballistic calculation will be done in real-time. The effective range of the 14.5mm is > 2,000m.
