Belgium-based designer and manufacturer of small caliber weapons and associated weapon systems and ammunition FN Herstal will attend EURONAVAL online, from today to 25 October.

Combat-proven Sea deFNder® Remote Weapon Station

Based on its long-standing expertise in firearms and more recent integrated electronics, optoelectronics, software and power-drive technologies, FN Herstal designs, develops, manufactures and ensures perfect integration of high-grade remote weapon stations of the deFNder® series.

With the deFNder® Medium – dedicated to land operations – as a basis, FN Herstal proposes the Sea deFNder® Remote Weapon Station for maritime applications to counter current and emerging asymmetric threats from any naval platform including USV.

The deFNder® is based on a standardized open architecture allowing integration with Combat Management System (CMS), external sensors as well as third party equipment. The open architecture makes it possible to control several deFNder® stations from one single (or more) C2 system and opens the door to collaborative combat of networked
deFNder®.

The Sea deFNder® comes standard with a large number of advanced features, and is compatible with an extensive range of customer-specified options and accessories to meet today’s operational requirements.

With its Sea deFNder®, FN Herstal provides customers – end users and OEMs – with small caliber turret systems of their choice.
