EOS wins defense contract for the supply of a remote-controlled weapon turret

Remote-controlled turret P-600 Electro-Optic Systems (EOS)

The company Electro Optic Systems announced the conclusion of a new contract worth 25 million dollars for manufacturing and supplying customers with a remote-controlled turret for the next thirty months.

Announcing the conclusion of the contract, the executive director of EOS Defense Systems, Mr. Mark Bornholt, said: "We received an order for our most advanced model of a remote-controlled weapon turret system, which will lead the total number of orders for this model to more than 300 units. This order will be executed at EOS facilities in Australia and the USA.

"The product is exactly the same as the ordered configuration and has been in production for more than 12 months, so we will not need any changes in the supply chain and production processes. We will ship products on this order every month until the end of 2014 of the year."

"We expect that much of this order will be made in Huntsville, Alabama, as part of the consolidation of the capabilities of the remote-controlled weapons systems announced by EOS in December 2011 of the year."

EOS CEO, Dr. Ben Green (Ben Greene) said that the contract was particularly pleasant, as it happened with an existing client. "EOS is proud of its products and customer-oriented culture, but the most important indicator of how well we embody these qualities is this repeat contract."

"Order increases the order book for all EOS products and services by $ 45 million over the next 2.5 years. This represents a reserve of about 1.5 year with the current level of performance and is impressive in terms of past sales figures."

By the way Very interesting! Ours, too, must not be missed. Remembered the movie "The Last Guardian"
Not a joke. The idea is good to apply in dangerous directions when the enemy advances. Camera. remote control panels and ....

Unfortunately, iron is still often cherished here, but people are not cherished.

Unfortunately, iron is still often cherished here, but people are not cherished.

Priorities are changing and this can be seen by the direction in which the rearmament of the army is going.
For example: the Airborne Forces will have its own helicopter regiment with Ka and Mi fire support helicopters. This means that the airborne units will not only be delivered to the area of ​​the military operation, where they can only rely on their own forces, but will have fire support from the air. That is, along with transport helicopters, so-called flying tanks will be used, which will suppress the enemy and save personnel.
Second example: the Ministry of Defense could stupidly buy T-90 tanks tested by the Indian troops, which are by far the best today. But they took a different path, modernizing the old ones to the T-90 level, which is reasonable, bearing in mind the large fleet of T-72 and T-80s. And at the same time, the Armata tank is being developed and brought up to series, which in terms of the level of protection is much higher than the tank of the previous half-generation (the crew is in a separate capsule, and the tower is uninhabited). As a tanker, this approach only pleases me, since tanks are first of all exposed to enemy fire when breaking through its defenses.
The third example: at present, the training of personnel in the army is more important than the maintenance of economic order. Thus, the Suvorov principle is implemented, not by number but by skill
A number of other examples can be given.
So, the task of iron is to gain an advantage in battle, crush the enemy and save the lives of soldiers .

In the development of our remote weapon control systems, they would like to see more and more, react faster and beat the enemy more precisely

[Vadim]

It is difficult to argue ... Yes, and there is no need, I completely agree with you.

[SAVA555.IVANOV]

If one person controls and shoots, then gamers will find use in the army, they will even be interested))

[Igor]

Now almost all of these young people will quickly master modern technology and still learn how to use it from fathers-commanders)))

[Gurza]

Now almost all such youth will quickly master modern technology and will also teach how to use it from fathers-commanders

True, that is, that is, if only they would not save on the receipts of equipment!

one person will control and shoot

Riding and shooting at the same time is not the same as playing shooting games on a computer. There is no room for error. The shooter must search for targets and destroy them, and the driver, using the folds of the terrain, do not expose the combat vehicle to enemy fire and maneuver at a decent speed. From my own experience I know that it is impossible for one person to perform these two tasks well.
By the way, one pilot flies and shoots in a Ka helicopter, and this is a drawback of this combat vehicle. Mi helicopters in this regard look more effective, since there is a pilot and gunner.
In confirmation of my words, you can put an experiment on some deserted track. Sit behind the wheel of a car and, driving it at a decent speed, start chatting with someone via SMS or ICQ. As the saying goes, bon voyage to the first pillar.
If a passenger is sitting next to you, who will perform the same work in cooperation with you, then you will be able to get to the right place, and you will be able to communicate with the subscriber more comfortably (passenger, everything you need to read and quickly respond to your request to subscriber).
Now imagine the same thing, but not with the phone, but with a machine gun. The conclusion is obvious. You will find death faster if you are alone, and with a partner there is a chance to stay alive, because it is easier for him to find the target and destroy it than you. Is not it?

[Patton135]

Dear tanker, the ka-52 "alligator" helicopter, which the Air Force is currently armed with, has 2 people in its crew (you may have confused it with the ka-50 "Black Shark")

[Neighbor]

Cool machine gun !!! About 5-10 years ago, such only in fantastic action movies could be seen.

[mnemonics]

Since this toy is not for a real war, or for any military operations, this thing will break from any rekoshet. That's against the unarmed crowd ... The power of American weapons-dreamers. By the way, for errors when shooting unarmed, then there’s no one to ask, the computer is to blame for what to take from it - a microcircuit from China! Disassemble for parts! For remelting!

[Professor]

this thing will break from any rekoshet.

And you follow the link to the TTX at the end of the article for a walk. There is about the level of ballistic protection. Anyway, it is more resistant to "ricochet" than the torso of a fighter with a machine gun ...

[mnemonics]

What is it ... the main thing is that it is good

[Joker]

I wonder what is the accuracy of this unit? And the fact that the trunk is generally short, as if water should be watered from it, and not shoot. And so the thing is really cool, if only we could find a way to save all this from EMI, otherwise if all the electronics are covered, you can even forget about this device.

[aironfirst]

For me, this system still has weak security against fragments and small arms.

[rumpeljschtizhen]

And why is there a long barrel there is an automatic grenade launcher on a turret. Combined with a machine gun ... here the whole chip in the turret .. why is it stuffed

[Joker]

Is this a grenade launcher? I thought a machine gun, it turned out to be overlooked Yes, it just happens if one stray bullet gets into the reload system (which is not protected at all)? Probably tear the whole roof))

[gor]

Yes, this stubbing is not quite small in size, and therefore the trunks seem short.

[Leisure]

Mass saturation of electronics in the troops, a good thing.
But on the other hand, I support the position of Joker, how will it all work after a nuclear strike, or the use of electromagnetic bombs?

[core]

AFTER a NUCLEAR strike, it will no longer matter how this all works.

[Leisure]

Those. stones and sticks will be used.

[core]

no one will go anywhere.

still to find a way from EMR to save all this

Gold. This is our civilization uses it as a measure of wealth. And those who showed homosapiens what it is precisely for this that Au was appreciated. I do not mean only the military use of its properties. Please note - the filters on the visors of the astronauts are made of gold spraying.

[Joker]

Previously, copper coils and wires were stolen, and in the future, gold from armored personnel carriers will be dragged IMHO it is very expensive, 21 century in the yard, so you can come up with something, nanotechnology is the same. Because without electronics, the US Army can be taken with his bare hands, because they are used to always relying on it in everything.

[coast]

The thing is really interesting, but the supply of ammunition and some elements do not have a reservation

[Joker]

That’s for sure, one shot from OSV-96 and everything will stop working, again they’ll have to pack everything in the old fashioned way with sandbags, and so the Strikers on all sides will also have to lay a couple of bags on top, all the same, in this form the turret will only go against poorly armed rebels, and in a real war they will be of little use. Although the idea itself is excellent, I would like to bring it to mind, put a bigger barrel, hide all the stuffing behind the armor and save the electronics.

[Uralm]

The main idea! The design at least as much as possible. Options Million.
Inexpensive and cheerful

Inexpensively

Oh oh almost $ 100 thousand, one turret will almost double the price of the Tiger, you need to think about what it will be, who will do it and what it will do, what its survivability will be, whether it will have an advantage at all, on the go it is useless, not all the benefits that look cool, better you can spend this money

[core]

any shooting on the go is useless. and even though the fighter in the hatch will not stick around, according to Italian armored vehicles, the main statistics of the killed soldiers is given by the shooter in the hatch. and we have so few people. let there be a guided turret.

[gor]

Yes, no, it’s just someone pity the money, and says why the heck it is needed. A man that doesn’t cost anything

So then you can reserve the bottom for these grandmothers, and in a jeep the machine gun is simply unnecessary

[TERMINATOR T800SK]

-Operative liquidation of a hostile object: secured
-THE TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS MODEL IN RUSSIAN NEEDED

[Uralm]

This is for them 100 thousand $ Unas will be a hundred times cheaper. They stuff prices
The simpler the more reliable. And these stuffed with trash
Very promising area

[gor]

but in Moscow you can buy shoes for $ 17000 that are only $ 50 in the states))))))))))))))))) and in general uniform I mean uniforms, shoes without bells and whistles surprisingly in the states are also cheaper than uniform from haute couture))))))))

[Vital 33]

In my opinion, a weak spot - open cartridge belts, even a stray bullet can interrupt or jam ... And this is an interesting thing, but no revolution ...

Of unstabilized weapons, it’s definitely formerly b / c.

It is possible that something artificial will be created, but so far only Au has inaccessible properties. What was used in Sovetsky microcircuits for military, + Ag contact bridges.

[gor]

generally noticed on the strikers on top of the nanocovering so that the soldiers would not be slippery)))))))))))))))))))))) this is a real breakthrough innovation)))))))))))))) ))) here it is necessary to send it to Skolkovo for a more detailed development
