The turrets provide an effective response to accurate shooting on the move with no exposure to enemy fire and form part of Elbit’s overhead remote controlled weapon systems (ORCWS) family.
The contract, floated under the Guarani Project, has come after Brazil awarded a contract to Elbit in 2009 to supply several unmanned turrets.
