A great demonstration of the Swedish armed forces naval patrol boat gun. 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,
