Rostec has handed over improved remote-controlled machine gun platforms, developed by specialists from the Signal radio plant (part of KRET), to Russian military personnel for testing in combat.
Advantages of the robotic module:
- remote control
- real-time target observation
- aimed fire from a 7.62 mm tank machine gun
- additional equipment with thermal imager/night vision camera/rangefinder
The remote-controlled machine gun platform has a high-resolution video camera with stabilization in two planes and powerful zoom. The operator controls the module using an LCD monitor and joystick.
The first samples were handed over to Russian military personnel at the end of 2023. They were improved taking into account the wishes of the soldiers, increasing the strength of the mechanical components of the platform.
