Hi all...
Have you any info or photos about this weapon sistem...?!
I've only this photo....
What is this?!
the humvee is a M1114...I think...

Looks like a Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station to me, or CROWS for short.
If it is that, its operated by a bloke sitting underneath, in the somewhat safer position of inside that Humvee.
Cheers


Edit: Some links on the CROWS...

Not CROWS. I believe, looking at the HMWWV, it's not a U.S. operated one.

The markings are Slovenian; I've seen some of their Humvees but never this one. Looks cool...

Yes this is definetly one of our HMMWV's
It is an owerhead weapons station (OWS) and it is a demo setup
(it looks as the picture was taken on one of the weapon fairs, will check further)

All of our HMMWV's have the old US made M2's mounted on the WWII style mounts. Since 2004 we have front shields mounted on all of the vehicles as a consequence of Afghanistan deployments.

We are looking at the OWS but I don't belive that HMMWV's are anywhere close to be a high priority for those.

I do have some pictures if anyone is interested but have never posted pictures on Armorama

ehm....goodhunting..can you post your photos here?!I'm looking for some information about this weapon sistem....ows...I don't know exactly but...is the ows the same developed by israelian untis for their Achzarit,Puma Apc and so on?!

Thanks in advance..

Here is a picture of a OWS by Rafael, an Israeli company. You might notice the combination of 12.7 machinegun ans Spike anti tank weapon.

Picture was taken on Eurosatory in Paris this summer

Hope the picture will show up

No such luck

I posted the picture in my personnal gallery. Take a look at it there.

Thanks Mario

I stand corrected
The ows on the picture is a product of our technical services.
Production was once again driven by deployments, this time Lebanon. First few units shipped out a few days ago. The rest of the vehicles should be equipped with these ows shortly.

Will try to get the pictures but it will take me a while.
