Rheinmetall showcased its advanced counter-drone capabilities at Enforce Tac 2026, unveiling the RCWS320C-UAS, a sophisticated remote-controlled weapon designed specifically to guard against swarming unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This innovative platform integrates sensor data, automated firing controls, and a choice between hard or soft kill options, providing operators with a versatile defense mechanism against a wide array of aerial threats.
The RCWS320C-UAS is engineered to not only protect military vehicles but also secure bases from potential drone incursions. Its design allows for quick adaptation to various combat scenarios, making it a strategic asset in modern warfare. By merging multiple data inputs, the system enhances the effectiveness of defensive measures, ensuring that operators can respond swiftly and accurately to imminent threats.
To further increase its effectiveness, the RCWS320C-UAS can be paired with the SEOSS-320 vision suite. This accompanying system significantly enhances targeting accuracy and improves the likelihood of achieving first-hit success. Additionally, the SEOSS-320 helps maintain situational awareness for crews, ensuring they remain informed of their surroundings while engaging multiple targets effectively.
Rheinmetall’s introduction of this smart counter-drone system marks a significant advancement in the defense industry, addressing the growing risk of drone warfare and the need for reliable countermeasures. The company’s commitment to innovation reflects the evolving landscape of military technology and the increasing necessity to safeguard assets against aerial threats.
