Electro Optic Systems Holdings (EOS) has secured a new contract valued at approximately AUD 28 million to supply R600 Remote Weapon System (RWS) unit spares to a customer in South East Asia.

 

The R600, renowned for its dual weapon configuration, offers operational flexibility and a range of weapon options to suit diverse mission requirements. Originally developed for a South East Asian customer, the R600 RWS has been subject to continuous innovation and development.

The RWS features EOS’ advanced pointing and tracking technology, significantly enhancing first-round hit probability. This sophisticated ballistic solution accounts for a comprehensive range of variables including weapons, ammunition, range, atmospheric environment, vehicle attitude, and target motion.
