Weapon Systems / SENTINEL Land Weapon Systems
A stabilized advanced land remote weapon station for protected surveillance and precise engagement from tactical vehicles, fixed surveillance posts and weapon towers.
Artillerie Inrichtingen Armaments BV presents SENTINEL RC-127, a remotely operated and stabilized weapon station designed to increase situational awareness while keeping the operator under protection. The system supports surveillance, detection, tracking and engagement of stationary and moving targets, including shoot-on-the-move operation.
The standard presentation uses a tactical-olive finish for land applications. Its modular architecture supports integration on tactical vehicles, fixed surveillance posts and weapon towers.
The sensor suite combines a day camera, infrared camera and laser range finder. Automatic target tracking and ballistic calculation support rapid engagement, while the modular interface enables connection to external sensors, radar and command-and-control systems.
SENTINEL RC-127 is presented in a 12.7 mm primary configuration. Depending on operational and platform requirements, selected 7.62 mm and 40 mm variants can be evaluated. Available integration options may include armor protection to STANAG 4569, wireless remote operation, under-armor or external ammunition reloading and picture-in-picture display.
Mission-specific payload options can include smoke grenade launchers, an infrared laser pointer, acoustic gunshot detection and 40 mm airburst-ammunition integration.
