COMMON REMOTELY OPERATED WPN SYS (CROWS)
Abstract
This project develops capability, reliability and supportability enhancements for Remote Weapon Station platforms, to include the Common Remotely Operated Weapons Station (CROWS), that enhance the Soldier's survivability, lethality and situational awareness while increasing the system's application across combat and tactical platforms. FY10 RDTE funds were reprogrammed from WTCV to address an Operational Need Statement (ONS 08-6152) to provide an increased elevation capability to engage targets at elevations up to 80 degrees. The operational need is driven by Mounted Operation in Urban Terrain (MOUT) environments in order to acquire and engage enemy targets in rooftop or high mountain positions. Funds also maintain a state-of-the-art system by providing for product improvements that will enhance new weapons adapter kits, value-added or performance specification engineering change proposals, software development and integration, engineering modifications (storage lots, redesigns, prototypes and testing) and increased commonality between CROWS variants.
