EOS Launches Its R400 Marine (R400-M) Remote Weapon Station (RWS)

Electro Optic Systems (EOS) marked the official Australian launch of its R400 Marine (R400-M) remote weapon station (RWS) at a special event held at the INDO PACIFIC 2022 International Maritime Exposition. The marine RWS, which is currently in production for a major overseas customer, differs from the company’s range of Land R400 RWS only through the inclusion of high-quality sub-components and finishes that comply with all requirements, regulations and test standards of the maritime environment. The system is equally effective at countering drone threats and more conventional maritime adversaries.

The Australian Department of Defence also announced its plan to supply the R400-M remote weapon station as Government Furnished Equipment for the Army’s Land 8710-1 Littoral Manoeuvre Vessel – Medium capability. The Mk2 operates a variety weapons including a machine gun, a 30mm lightweight cannon and an automatic grenade launcher. The first round hit probability is provided through an enhanced integrated ballistic solution which analyses weapon and ammunition data; range and ambient environment in addition to vehicle attitude and dynamics. Performance can be further enhanced with optional video track of targets and multi-axis stabilisation.

We are proud that the R400-M has been selected for Land 8710-1. EOS’ family of RWS has long provided customers with “many advantages including superior range, accuracy and firepower. And these decisive advantages are now available in maritime as well as land combat”
