“We are witnessing a growing demand worldwide for our RCWS, of which many hundreds are already operational on board a range of land and naval platforms, and we trust that further customers will follow in acquiring our advanced and mature weapon stations.”

The company’s RCWS is a high-precision, lightweight, dual-axis multi-purpose weapon system designed for small and mid-calibres, according to Elbit Systems.

The 12.7mm weapon system can be mounted on any armoured fighting vehicle and main battle tank.

Designed to provide accurate on-the-move firing capability, the system is operable by the gunner from inside the vehicle.

The RCWS features automatic target tracking and supports day and night operations.

Israel International Defense Cooperation Directorate of the Defense Ministry (SIBAT) director brigadier general Yair Kulas was quoted by Israeli media sources as saying: “This agreement reflects the value of Israeli defence innovation in addressing issues that our strategic partners and allies may face.”
