Medium Calibre Weapon Systems is 2-man turret which can be
armed with medium calibre cannon from 25 to 50mm calibre.
The turret is able to rotate on 360° with a maximum elevation
of 60° and depression of -20°. The turret is fully
stabilized which allows firing on the move against static
and moving targets. The system can use two types of ammunitions
including programmable rounds. The turret can be armed with
secondary armaments such as grenade launchers of different
calibres and a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun. The turret has

and subsystems, without recourse to a complete weapon system
re-design. It also offers a Growth potential and upgradeability
to reflect advances in technology or changes in user requirements.
The turret can be fitted with different types of self-defence
and warning systems as active protection system, anti-sniper
detection, battlefield management system, defensive aid suites,
