AI-powered remote weapon station with automatic target detection, tracking, and engagement. Installed on armored vehicles for autonomous threat response.
Elbit's AWS integrates seamlessly with existing armored vehicle architectures including Merkava, Bradley, and M113 variants, providing AI-assisted targeting as a retrofit without requiring extensive vehicle modification. The system's reaction time from threat detection to weapon stabilization is measured in fractions of a second, compared to several seconds for a human gunner responding to the same threat. Multiple armies that have evaluated Elbit's AWS in field trials have reported significant improvements in both target acquisition speed and accuracy under stress.
Operational on IDF vehicles; exported to multiple armies; AI-enabled threat classification reduces reaction time
