The VIM Vitra is the next generation, daylight targeting camera for the CROWS and Stryker Remote Weapon Stations. The VIM Vitra can directly replace the current day camera in existing weapon stations. The legacy VIM has sold more than 15,000 units to 19 nations in several configurations. The VIM Vitra stretches existing capabilities within the current VIM interface by providing increased DRI distances and low light capabilities. Improved versatility, performance, and increased sustainability in battle make the VIM Vitra the day camera of the future.

American Rheinmetall has supplied over 12,000 electro-optical (EO) and electronic LRUs for integration into the Army’s remote weapon stations. In addition to the ruggedized high-definition image stabilized EO sensors (day cameras), this also includes weapon mounts, and other critical assemblies.

Rheinmetall's mobile Counter-UAS system offers an integrated all-in-one solution to the difficult task of monitoring, identifying and as last resort intercept current and future mini and micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. It is designed for use in highly controlled airspaces and under the most stringent engagement conditions.
