RCWS – Remote Controlled Weapon Systems

Artillerie Inrichtingen Armaments BV provides a comprehensive portfolio of Remote Controlled Weapon Stations designed to enhance protection, situational awareness and engagement capability across land and naval platforms. Our systems enable operators to observe, identify, track and engage threats while remaining protected inside the vehicle or vessel.

The portfolio ranges from lightweight configurations for 7.62 mm weapon systems to heavier and medium-calibre solutions. Depending on the mission and platform, configurations may accommodate 12.7 mm machine guns, 40 mm automatic grenade launchers and 25 mm or 30 mm cannons. Dual-weapon arrangements and specialised counter-UAS configurations are also available.

Integrated Sensing and Fire Control

AIA weapon stations combine stabilised weapon control with advanced electro-optical sensors, laser rangefinding, automatic target tracking and ballistic computation. This integrated architecture supports accurate operation while stationary or on the move and provides the operator with enhanced situational awareness during day, night and reduced-visibility conditions.

Modular Platform Integration

The systems can be adapted to new-build and modernisation programmes across armoured vehicles, tactical vehicles, unmanned ground platforms, patrol craft and other naval vessels. Modular interfaces support integration with platform electronics, battle-management systems and external surveillance or fire-control networks.

Within the AIA portfolio, land-based Remote Controlled Weapon Stations are represented by the SENTINEL family, while dedicated naval configurations are offered under the TRITON family.
