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, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvYEeiBX-c0 |

![]() 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 http://www.rafael.co.il/Marketing/402-994-en/Marketing.aspx |
