Kongsberg to supply Protector RWS to Croatia
Kongsberg will provide additional Protector Remote Weapon Stations (RWS) for the Croatian armed forces under a new contract announced on 29 May. The RWS will be installed on the AMV platform currently in production for the Croatian Army.

The Protector RWS is remotely controlled weapon station for light and medium calibre weapons that can be mounted on any type of platform.
