National Company for Mechanical Systems (NCMS) unveiled new Saudi-made remote weapon stations (RWSs) plus an indigenously developed ATGM and UGV at the World Defense Show 2022 in Riyadh on 6-9 March.
The full range of three Moreb RWSs was on display. Moreb 3 is a two-axis stabilised turret with a 30mm M239LF automatic cannon and an EO/IR targeting device with a laser rangefinder (LR).
The RWS is in production, and Shephard understands it is already installed on Oshkosh armoured vehicles.
Moreb 30 is a heavier RWS turret still at the prototype stage. NCMS plans to install it on heavier 8x8
