New towers for Romania's armored vehicles

Elbit Systems receives follow-on contract worth $120 million for the delivery of unmanned turrets, remote weapon stations, and mortar systems to the Romanian Armed Forces. Armored personnel carriers (APCs) Piranha V of the Romanian Armed Forces will be newly equipped with unmanned turrets, remote weapon stations (RCWS), and mortar systems. The work will be carried out in Romania over a period of three years.

Under the follow-on contract, Elbit Systems will deliver UT30 MK2 turrets, RCWS, and SPEAR mortar systems, all fully integrated into the Piranha V. Elbit Systems' UT30 MK2 is an unmanned 30mm light turret that integrates weapon systems, fire control systems, sensors, and display systems to enhance combat power, situational awareness, and target acquisition capabilities.

The RCWS is a lightweight, highly precise 12.7mm weapon station. The SPEAR is a computer-controlled, autonomous 120mm vehicle mortar system. In addition to Romania, Elbit Systems' turrets, RCWS, and mortar systems have been selected by dozens of customers worldwide, including Israel, the USA, Denmark, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, and Croatia.
