CROWS is a joint acquisition program for weapon stations for the US Army’s vehicle programmes.
The Protector RWS, in the CROWS II configuration, enhances troop protection and lethality by providing soldiers with the ability to acquire and engage targets while inside the safety of a vehicle.
General Dynamics also made a US$26m contract for deliveries of M151 Protector RWS for Stryker vehicles to the US Army.
These deliveries will begin in the first half of 2009.
