EVPU Defence presents Mantis Mini Remote-controlled Weapon Station at IDET 2023. Mantis Mini is a compact remote-controlled weapon station (RCWS) which can be installed on wheeled/tracked light armored vehicles (LAV), military vessels, patrol boats or stationary platforms. It is designed to eliminate the enemy troops and lightly armored land and air targets such as trucks, LAV, UAV etc. It allows the integration of 5.56 – 7.62 mm machine guns (both NATO and Eastern standards). Reconnaissance, aiming and firing tasks are performed using a modular multi-sensor electro-optical system which includes a day camera, thermal imaging (night) camera, laser rangefinder and, optionally, an additional aiming camera.
The Mantis Mini boasts two independent stabilized axes, enabling precise targeting and tracking of threats in both azimuth and elevation. This stabilization significantly enhances the system’s accuracy and enables effective engagement while the platform is in motion or experiencing vibrations. The Mantis Mini offers several optional features to further enhance its capabilities. It can be integrated with additional protection systems, such as a laser and radar irradiation detection system combined with smoke grenade launchers. These systems enhance the platform’s survivability and provide enhanced protection against various threats. The Mantis Mini offers the option of integrating Level 2 ballistic protection, further bolstering the crew’s safety in hostile environments.
