Stablised Remote Controlled Weapon Station (SRCWS)

For years the wars and low intensity conflicts have displayed the importance of the ability to fire at enemy while protecting and concealing the operator from any sort of return fire. A Remote Controlled weapons Station is a platform designed to achieve just that. It allows a unit the total domination over a battle in a urban conflict scenario. Keeping this in mind the OFB began development of an indigenous remote controlled weapons station for the Indian defence forces now called SRCWS.
Constantly evolving threat situations call for force multiplication, greater accuracy and terminal effect from a weapon system. The OFBs SRCWS provides an optimal solution for achieving this. The SRCWS aims to counter threats in unpredictable situations by making it possible for an appropriate weapon system like 7.62 mm GPMG and 12.7 mm HMG or even a grenade launcher and AT missile to be operated through remote control with high dexterity from inside a protected vehicle. The station is compact, lightweight and low silhouette system equipped with high resolution collimated optic pod, continuous zoom, day and night sight capability, laser range finder and designator. The above advanced sub-systems enable remote surveillance, observation and targeting through the ergonomically designed monitor. Additional features are tracking and video motion detection (VMD) which enable real time effective surveillance. Manual override is provided. Optional built-in support for platform network integration including inertial navigation, C4I integration and wireless remote control can be provided.
