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.
Typhoon Weapon Station: Typhoon models designated MK38 MOD 2[22] and later MK 38 MOD 3,[23] and the Mini-Typhoon models designated MK49 MOD 0 ROSAM (Remote Operated Small Arms Mount)[24] and later MK49 MOD 1.[25]
