"This is further proof of the Trackfire RWS’s position in a fiercely competitive market; with high-tech innovation, the system is flexible, while maintaining high levels of precision and performance."

Delivery of the first batch is slated to take place from the third quarter of 2018 to Q3 2019.

The Trackfire RWS belongs to Saab’s family of Fire Control products and is included together with the Combat vehicle 90 gunners sight Universal Tank and Anti-Aircraft System (UTAAS) and Pintle mount products.

It is capable of being integrated on both land and naval platforms, and has been specifically designed to offer flexibility in order to meet customers’ requirements when using different combinations of sensors, weapons and integrations across various platforms.

The Trackfire RWS features a stabilised independent line of sight (SILOS) and the option to mount a coaxial weapon, which allows users to meet requirements for scalable effects.
