R500

The R500 is an ITAR-free RWS with unparalleled lethality, increased firepower and situational awareness through advanced AI tracking capabilities

Unleash the power of cutting-edge technology with the R500, the latest advancement in remote weapon station systems. This state-of-the-art system is designed to meet the evolving demands of modern warfare, offering unparalleled lethality, situational awareness, and survivability.

The R500 is ITAR-free, making it an ideal solution for international defence forces seeking flexibility and performance without restrictions. Enhanced with a 25 x 137 mm cannon or dual-feed 30 x 113 mm, the system delivers increased firepower, while an improved thermal/EO sensor suite and advanced AI tracking capabilities provide superior target acquisition and engagement accuracy.

With an expanded ammunition capacity and cutting-edge BLOS effectors, the R500 is designed for multi-layered defence, including CounterUAS (C-UAS) capabilities. The integration of new sensors and tracking technology ensures survivability against evolving threats.

The system's enhanced operability is complemented by a new control approach that reduces latency for faster decision-making and actionable responses in the most demanding operational environments.
