RALCO (REMOTE AND LOCAL CONTROLLED)

20MM NAVAL WEAPON STATION

The 20mm RALCO Naval Weapon Station (NWS) is a gyro-stabilised, remotely operated small calibre gun system with manual back-up operation. It is suitable for deployment as main gun onboard smaller vessels or as secondary gun onboard larger vessels providing an inner layer of protection, offering surveillance and suppression capabilities within a coordinated network of ship based weapons & sensors systems.

The RALCO NWS utilizes a 20mm rapid fire automatic canon as its main armament. The main armament is dual fed, which provides firing function redundancy and allows the operator to select the most suitable ammunition type depending on operational scenario. This feature is essential in modern day naval operations in littoral regions as it enables the operator to graduate to the next level of intervention or lethality (warning shot, disabling shot etc…) and avoid any undesirable collateral damage within the sea clutter.
