Swedish military track fire gun system



Published on Oct 28, 2014

The Swedish military Track Fire RWS will be a great system for the Swedish and will be a good weapon to be used on terrorists if it is ever deployed to Iraq. Military Soldiers today face a constantly evolving battlefield and must react instantly to the demands of every situation. Saab offers critical solutions, capable of responding to the threat – whatever form it may take.

The Trackfire Remote Weapon Station (RWS)
is based on over 40 years of developing
stabilised electro-optic platforms for the
land and naval arenas. The user benefits
from a next-generation, lightweight, fully
stabilised and remotely operated weapon and
sensor system which provides cutting edge
performance in both of these domains. The
Trackfire RWS is designed for use on all types
of military platforms, including vehicles,
vessels and static emplacements.
FLEXIBLE TECHNOLOGY
Flexibility is key to the success of the
Trackfire RWS. Compact and modular, it
has the capabilities to be integrated into a
wide range of platforms. Adaptable to every
situation, the system has the ability to be
tailored to meet the particular needs of each
mission. A building block design philosophy
ensures that Trackfire RWS can be configured
and deployed to meet any threat – whatever
the conditions.

Optional enhancements are wide-ranging
and include the following:
•  Video Tracker Module (VTM)
•  Smoke Grenade Launchers (SGL)
•  Integrated laser trainer
•  Coaxial weapon mounting (including
Non-Lethal Effects)

  Dual command
•  Integration with a Defensive Aids Suite
(DAS)
•  Appliqué armour
•  Laser designator
•  Specialised Electro-Optics (EO)

Trackfire RWS provides exceptional
capabilities across the full operational
spectrum and enhances force multiplication
through reliability, superior hit performance
and modular enhancement. The Trackfire
RWS consists of the following components:
Human Machine Interface (HMI):
Consisting of the Fire Control Panel (FCP),
Control Handle (CH) and display, the
HMI is simple to operate, ergonomic and
multi-functional. The menu structure has
maintained a flat hierarchy to ensure that the
operator can retain a visual perspective of
the HMI display whilst having access to all
primary functionality of the system.
Weapon: Includes a wide range of small,
medium and heavy machine guns as
well as automatic grenade launchers and
Non-Lethal Effects (NLE) which can be
mounted simultaneously.
Sensor Module (SM): Allows for a
wide range of day and night fire control
capabilities to be integrated. The SM can
also be configured with a wash/wipe system

Ease of Integration
The Trackfire RWS has been developed with a
focus on complete system integration with a
wide range of platforms and equipment. As
a lightweight, self-contained weapon station
with a low centre of gravity, the Trackfire RWS
can be mounted on different interfaces,
thereby reducing system height and
increasing overall survivability. Integration
risk and platform modifications are kept to
a minimum and the system has little or no
effect on the platform’s overall performance.

Functional Description
The Trackfire RWS has been developed with
the user in mind; all primary functionality is
ergonomically laid out to the operator, ensuring
that the Surveillance and Target Acquisition
(STA) process is near-instantaneous without
the operator having to break visual contact
with the display. Dual command enables
shared capabilities, shorter response times
and reduced sensor-to-shooter cycles. Fully
prepared for integration into other platform
systems, target data can be passed both
within the platform and to and from other
C4I systems.

Firepower
The Trackfire RWS is one of the most
accurate systems on the market, facilitating
reduced ammunition usage and peace of
mind with regard to collateral damage. The
VTM can reduce the engagement sequence
by as much as 50 percent and the hit point
can be adjusted so that selected areas of a

target can be engaged with pinpoint accuracy.
The slew to cue and state-of-the-art automatic
search and track functionality, combined
with the unrivalled slewing speed of the
Trackfire RWS, shorten the sensor-to-shooter
cycle and provide the necessary force in the
shortest possible time.

Protection
For maximum crew protection, all Trackfire
RWS operations can be performed from
below armour or deck, including ammunition
Feed From Below Armour (FFBA). A low
ammunition warning can be coupled with
a fire inhibit signal to ensure that a new belt
of ammunition can be linked to the existing
belt. To overcome the loss of situational
awareness incurred by removing the gunner
from the platform hatch, sensor imagery
from the Trackfire RWS can be distributed
via a Local Area Network (LAN) and
displayed where required inside the platform.

Integrated Survivability
Careful system design has created a highly
survivable system with a low profile,

Product Name:SAMSON RWS Family

Title:Remote Weapon Stations for Armored Vehicles


Globally integrated on thousands of fielded ground and naval platforms, Rafael’s Samson family of advanced remote weapon stations (RWS) capitalizes on extensive combat experience with a deep understanding of emerging military needs.

Designed for high performance and survivability on land and at sea, the Samson RWS have been adapted to a wide variety of main battle tanks, trucked and wheeled armored personnel carriers and marine craft.

The Samson Family is offered in six land configurations and two naval configurations. Samson RWS support diverse, interchangeable weapons and sensors including 5.56/7.62/12.7 mm machine guns, 40 mm automatic grenade launchers, anti-tank missiles, observation pods, and non lethal capabilities.

Deployed in over 25 countries under rigorous combat and environmental conditions, these robust weapon stations are a dependable force multiplier and trusted partner for the most challenging missions.
Battle-proven land applications include thousands of RWS for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and
Worldwide forces.

Breakthroughs in RWS Development

Under-Armor Reloading

The superior capabilities and performance of Rafael's RWS have been further enhanced by various ingenious force survivability multipliers, including in-hull ammunition reloading which enables uninterrupted operation while minimizing the crew’s exposure to life-threatening battlefield dangers. The patented system is loaded from under the deck, and in addition to its operational benefit, is ergonomically designed for loader convenience and operation with minimum effort and maximum consideration of physical health.


Non-Lethal Capabilities

The newest addition to the Samson RWS family is its Non-Lethal (NL) capability which bases its response on all human biological senses. Whether employed for crowd control or other urban scenarios, the Samson NL capability provides the symmetrical response required to alleviate potentially explosive situations.
Samson NL concept is based on a five-sense response and the dual use of the RWS; interchangeable for NL and L use.


Members of the Samson RWS Family:

Samson Mini

The Samson Mini dual-axis, gyro-stabilized RWS is designed for use on light wheeled or tracked combat vehicles, fast attack boats and other platforms requiring improved offensive capabilities. The system enables target engagement with enhanced accuracy, while maximizing crew protection from enemy fire.
This single-weapon RWS accommodates a variety of armaments including a 5.56mm SAW and LMG, 7.62 mm GPMG and Gatling gun, 12.7 mm HMG, 14.5 mm, 40 mm AGL, ATGM launcher, ASM, fed by high-capacity magazines. Supported by a ballistics-protected multi-sensor Sight Pod, with an optional mechanism for super elevation ballistic angle calculations, the Samson Mini provides a ‘round-the-clock response to high-maneuvering battlefield challenges.

Samson Dual

The Samson Dual is a dual-axis, gyro-stabilized RWS that simultaneously mounts two weapons. Developed originally to carry a 25-30mm lightweight weapon as main armament and 7.62mm secondary weapon for short range engagements, the Samson Dual enables multiple-threat handling in high-mobility scenarios. Much more robust than equivalent systems, the Samson Dual is also strong enough to incorporate an ATGM Launcher as a force multiplier. Featuring a special mode that decouples the weapons from the sight pod, this Samson configuration is also ideal for reconnaissance and peace-keeping missions.

New Samson 30mm MKII

The new Samson 30mm MKII is a 30mm Weapon RWS designed for use on any modern light-armored, high-mobility fighting vehicle, new or upgraded, without modifications. It mounts main and secondary armaments, of Eastern and Western origins, including a 30/40 mm automatic cannon, 40 mm AGL (optional), and 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun. Additional mountable force multipliers include ATGM launchers, ASM, and SGL obscurants.

Equipped with a dual-axis, gyro-stabilized, retractable, dual-sight, weapon mounting system, and the system's configuration provides the commander with full "hunt-kill" capabilities without interfering with the Gunner's current missions.


Main Advantages of the Samson RWS family

Commonality and Affordability

Members of the Samson RWS family share many of the same sub-assemblies, which have been fully tested and qualified, utilizing the same infrastructure. By employing the same installation, operation, and maintenance concepts, the entire assimilation process becomes faster and much simpler...

Optimized Survivability Design

The survivability of the crew is heightened as operation and ammunition reloading (Rafael proprietary patent-pending) is carried out from inside the hull (in the Samson Dual and the New Samson 30mm MKII RWS).

Environmental Compliance

The RWS is designed in compliance with MIL-STD-810F for both ground and marine applications including salt fog, humidity, fungus, etc. Rafael’s Samson Mini RWS has an identical marine counterpart called the Mini-Typhoon. The Mini-Typhoon is operational in the U.S. Navy Special Forces.

Precision and Lethality

For highly lethal response in urban settings and high-off-the-ground threat response scenarios, the basic gun elevation/depression of +60° to -20°, has been upgraded in the New Samson 30mm to +70° gun elevation. The Samson RWS systems have first-hit accuracy for high battlefield lethality and auto tracking capability for accurate shooting-on-the-move.

High Versatility

The systems are fully compatible with a wide variety of interchangeable weapons without the need for modifications, making them especially versatile for any land and naval combat missions.

Viable Alternative to the Traditional Turret

· Lighter in weight and more compact, rendering better overall platform mobility and maneuverability
· Safer - No gas emissions or rotating mechanical parts in the hull
· No RWS deck penetration, providing more space in the hull
· Plug-and-play fire control system - Same main computer unit (MCU) for all systems
· Superior 360° situational awareness
· Higher reliability, availability, maintainability, and durability
· Ability to interface with C4I and external sensors including hostile fire indicators
