Remotely Operated Gun Platform (www.RDL.co.za)

The Remotely Operated Gun concept is a force multiplier for MBT's, AFV as well as APC's since it enhances crew protection and fire power. The weapon is controlled from inside the vehicle without exposing the operator, thereby improving crew safety. Firepower is also dramatically enhanced due to excellent pointing accuracy and weapon stabilization.

It can operate independently of the turret motion or the main weapon. The Rogue allows the weapon to be slaved to the commander's primary sight (CPS) line of sight (LOS), or used as a stand-alone system and controlled from under armour by an operator using a hand controller with a video display.

As a back-up mode in the event of, for instance, a power failure the weapon can also be operated manually from outside the turret if so required. The system can also be used as the primary weapon for an APC or a soft skinned vehicle.
