Weapon stations

After many discussions with our customers and intensive threat analysis, we have reacted to the current challenges of mobile units in terms of self-protection in the near and close range with a conceptual reorientation. The result is a balanced product range for light and heavy weapon stations, adapted to the different needs and requirement profiles of our customers.

Natter 7.62 mm

The 7.62 mm NATTER weapon station was initially developed for use on a truck. Taking into account a permissible roof load of max. 105 kg and the application of modular weapon armament kits, the NATTER 7.62 represents a significant combat upgrade of the otherwise unarmoured transport vehicles.

The Natter has an all-weather FlexEye sensor system installed coaxially to the weapon line. A significant performance feature is the ability, through digital video processing, to keep the target constantly acquired and displayed centred to the operator as the weapon swings in to the calculated attachment and lead.

Natter 12.7 mm

The NATTER 12.7 weapon station is ideally suited for integration into wheeled or tracked armoured vehicles. The system achieves its high flexibility in use through various armament sets in 12.7 x 99 mm calibre or the possibility of using a GMG.

Like the Natter 7.62 mm, the heavy version is also equipped with the all-weather FlexEye sensor system.
