The AWEIL 12.7 mm Stabilized Remote Controlled Gun (SRCG) is an indigenously manufactured precision naval weapon system designed for remote engagement of asymmetric threads, such as fast attack craft, drones and low flying aircraft. Operated via remote control, it enhances crew safety and combat efficiency by enabling stabilized targeting from protected locations aboard the vessel. Engineered for integration on a wide range of naval and coast guard platforms, the SRCG offers reliable performance in dynamic maritime environments.

Features:
Remote-controlled operation with two-axis stabilization:
The system features comprehensive line-of-sight (LOS) and line-of-fire (LOF) stabilization. This allows the operator to accurately track, aim, and engage moving targets even when the host ship is maneuvering or experiencing rough sea conditions.

Modular Electro-Optical Suite:
It is equipped with advanced day/night sensors, including a high-resolution day CCD camera, a thermal imager for nighttime operations, and a laser range finder.

Automatic Target Tracking:
Built-in fire control sensors provide automatic target tracking capabilities. The system's ballistics computer automatically calculates and applies the necessary lead angles for the line of fire.

Short recoil operated action provides reliable performance in maritime conditions.
