South Korean firm LIG Nex1 has unveiled a newly developed remote controlled weapon station (RCWS) at the Defense & Security 2022 show in Bangkok.
The company also disclosed to
Janes
that the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) is the newest customer of its Korean GPS-Guided Bomb (KGGB).
A company official said that the RCWS, which has not yet been named, can be configured as an anti-tank weapon or as a short-range air defence system.
The former is equipped with LIG Nex1 Raybolt anti-tank guided missiles, while the latter is fitted with the company’s Chiron short-range air defence missiles. In both configurations, the RCWS is also fitted with a 12.7 mm cannon made by South Korean firm SNT Motiv.
The LIG Nex1 official said the new RCWS is a concept prototype but the company is proposing the capability to the Republic of Korea Armed Forces as well as export customers.
