Remote Weapon Stations (RWS) have become a key upgrade for legacy and modern military vehicles, offering enhanced lethality and improved crew protection. Unlike traditional mounted weapons, RWS allows soldiers to operate weapon systems from within the safety of the vehicle, reducing exposure to battlefield threats while providing stabilized, accurate firepower.

By upgrading legacy fleets with RWS, governments and allied forces avoid costly replacement programs while giving operators enhanced protection and battlefield effectiveness. This retrofit approach transforms proven platforms into modern, mission-ready assets.


At Damera Defence, we specialize in the retrofit and integration of RWS platforms onto existing ground vehicles. Our approach focuses on:

  • Assess platform compatibility to ensure weight, power, and network integration are properly addressed.
  • Engineer the mounting and interface systems (mechanical, electrical, and software) to support the RWS.
  • Integrate sensors, optics, and control units into the vehicle’s vetronics network.
  • Provide technician and maintainer training, along with lifecycle support, so defence teams can reliably service, diagnose, and sustain the system.

  • By focusing on the engineering, integration, and sustainment side, we enable armed forces to modernize their fleets with RWS while keeping systems reliable through their lifecycle.
