Herstal, a world leader in small arms manufacture,
will exhibit two innovative additions to its product
line at IDEX 2009, Abu Dhabi, from 22 through 26
February 2009 (Hall 10, Booth no. D36 in the Belgian
Pavilion).
The SCAR™ Assault Rifle: Fully tested
and approved by Special Forces Operators
The full line of SCAR rifles includes a 5.56x45mm
NATO rifle called SCAR-L ("Light"), the
7.62x51mm NATO SCAR-H ("Heavy") and an
enhanced grenade launcher module called the FN40GL.
Because of its unique, modular design, the SCAR
rifle barrels (CQC or standard length) are easily
and quickly interchangeable by the individual operator
in just minutes allowing for rapid reconfiguration
of the rifle for a variety of operational roles.
The SCAR rifle is completely ambidextrous with a
fully free-floating barrel for exceptional accuracy.
It features multiple integral Picatinny type mounting
rails and a telescopic, folding buttstock with adjustable
cheekpiece.
The FN Herstal LRWS: A light remote station with
extreme angles of elevation and depression for close-in
defense
The Light Remotely operated Weapon Station (LRWS),
designed and built by FN Herstal, detects, identifies
and engages the threat while keeping the operator
fully secure and safe from harm.
