Product Overview
The Remote Controlled Weapon Station (RCWS) is a ZCZZ DEFENSE weapon remote-control station capability for vehicle-mounted applications. It is intended to support protected remote operation of vehicle weapons, with final weapon, sighting, control, and platform-integration details configured according to procurement requirements.
The Remote Controlled Weapon Station is presented as a configurable product capability. Weapon caliber, elevation range, sighting package, control layout, and platform integration should be confirmed for each procurement program.

- Current ZCZZ R&D, production, assembly, and delivery support for weapon remote control stations
- Vehicle-mounted integration approach, with final configuration determined by the host platform and procurement requirements
- Available automatic weapon-station configuration can use in-vehicle controller operation for rotation, pitch, and firing
- Built-in camera support is available on an automatic weapon-station configuration
- Weapon carriage can be configured according to requirements, including machine guns and grenade launchers where supported by the selected configuration

System / Configuration Overview
An available automatic weapon-station configuration uses a roof-mounted gun rack with remote operation from inside the vehicle. Rotation, pitch, and firing are operated through an in-car controller, and the gun mount includes a built-in camera to assist aiming.
The same configuration describes weapon switching according to needs, such as machine guns and grenade launchers. Specific weapon caliber, ammunition type, sighting package, and integration layout should be confirmed for each procurement program.

Operator Control Interface
The RCWS operator interface supports remote control of selected weapon-station functions from inside the vehicle on supported configurations. Operator controls, display layout, and sighting options should be reviewed against the host platform and mission requirements.
Vehicle Integration / Configuration Example
The RCWS may be reviewed for vehicle-mounted integration where remote weapon operation from inside the platform is required. Integration should be evaluated according to vehicle structure, payload allowance, power supply, operator station, selected armament, sighting package, and mission profile.
- Armored and tactical vehicle weapon-station integration
- Patrol and security vehicle fire-control applications
- Convoy and route-security support where a protected remote weapon station is required
- Border and facility-security mobility platforms
- Mission-specific vehicle upgrades requiring remote operation from inside the platform
