US military experts tested the new weapon module BattleGuard. The tests were conducted at the site of Fort Benning (Georgia).

Remote-controlled turret BattleGuard passed the test


New weapon It is a remote-controlled turret, which is equipped with thermal imaging equipment and an electron-optical system. During tests, BattleGuard successfully hit all types of targets, both static and moving at a fairly high speed.

One of the great advantages of BattleGuard American experts call the fact that you can install two weapons at once on the turret. For example, it could be a combination of a grenade launcher and a 5,56-mm machine gun. Even install an anti-tank missile system on BattleGuard to effectively combat the enemy’s armored vehicles. If the system has two types of weapons, then it allows you to quickly select the right, and therefore, to achieve more tangible results in the destruction of the enemy.

The BattleGuard platform is equipped with an advanced software package that allows the operator to work on the choice of targets, to direct both types of weapons even to such objects, the angle between which reaches 180 degrees. By the way, the optical system of the remote-controlled complex allows you to carry out a 360-degree survey of the area, and quickly find a target for destruction. Thermal imaging equipment allows aimed fire in any weather, as well as at any time of the day or night.



Experts report that the system has the ability to track several targets at once using laser targeting. The laser captures the target and leads it until the fire is opened on it, or until the operator refuses to accompany this particular target.

The new rifle system allows you to hit targets with much greater efficiency than man does. Where the human eye is powerless due to its optical properties, the optical system BattleGuard works, which allows targeted fire from a machine gun at a distance over 2000 m.

Such a system can be effective on tanks and wheeled armored vehicles.

On BattleGuard, you can install machine guns, grenade launchers and anti-tank missile systems, including TOW and Javelin

          olp, do you have evidence to the contrary?

          is full
          starting from remotely controlled tank anti-aircraft machine guns ending with various combat modules, for example BM in BMPT

          from the very last one you can recall the RBM

            Beautiful and great, but ... I sincerely envy your optimism. The trouble is that the latest developments of the Amer military come to their soldiers in serial form, while in our country they remain prototypes.

              you are mistaken, I’m rather a realist, with a small amount of optimism, because it’s easier to live like that, but I sincerely do not understand people who are ready to crap everything and everything, absolutely not trying to figure out the issue, simply asserting such stupidity a priori, because it simply cannot be otherwise

              in general, time will tell whether this sample will reach gray production

    SERIOUS PIECES.
    I installed such things around the perimeter of our borders and FORGOTTEN about them. Cockroach crawls, there is no cockroach, the offender crawls, there is no fucking him. What will the human rights activists say about this.

    As I understand it, this is a fire control system unified for various weapons.

    Guys, there is nothing "super duper" in this turret. There is another attempt to prolong the life of obsolete combat vehicles of NATO countries which have been riveted in "huge" quantities and which are still quite efficient and which it is a pity to send for scrap. Similar turrets have long been developed in the USSR / Russia, and the fact that they are in no hurry to put them where it is necessary and where it is not necessary does not at all speak about the "stupidity" of the Customer. Rather the opposite.

    On the T-64A anti-aircraft machine gun had a remote control. This is the year 1969.

    Of course, technological progress is good, but still, electronics often fails, and there should be solid ordinary scientists or mechanics in the army. There are a lot of techniques with electricity like this or better in the United States Army, but we have a lot
