CROWS is a joint acquisition programme for weapon stations for the US Army’s vehicle programmes, which will improve efficiency in terms of protection, training and support.

The protector weapon control system in the CROWS II configuration protects military troops by allowing the crew to operate the weapons stations from a protected position within the vehicle.

The Protector integrates light and medium-calibre guns as well as missile and grenade launchers.
