Weapon system for combat platforms
A remote controlled weapon station (RCWS ), remotely operated weapon system (ROWS ), or remote weapon system (RWS ), is a remotely operated light or medium-
caliber weapon system, often equipped with a
fire-control system , that can be installed on
a ground combat vehicle or sea- and air-based combat platform.
[1]
Such equipment is used on modern military vehicles, as it allows a gunner to remain in the relative protection of the vehicle. It may be retrofitted onto existing vehicles, for example, the
CROWS system is being fitted to American
Humvees .
