EOS Defense Systems USA (EOS) participated in the US Army's Project Convergence Capstone 4 (PC-C4) from 15-20 March at the Army's National Training Center in Fort Irwin, California.
The company demonstrated the capabilities of an R600 Remote Weapon Station equipped with a Northrop Grumman M230LF cannon, coaxial machine gun, and four Javelin missiles on an Army Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport (S-MET) robotic infantry support vehicle.
EOS successfully shot down pairs of Class 1 UAVs at ranges of more than 300 metres and engaged multiple ground targets with a 30mm cannon from the robotic platform.
The C-UAS exercise was conducted against Boresight Aerial Targets’ low-cost UAVs to provide realistic target sets.
The event was a venue for US Army senior leaders to assess new technologies to inform acquisition and force structure decisions. As human-machine integration continues to be a key strategic priority, the demonstration was an opportunity to evaluate unmanned and remote solutions which provide essential protections to the warfighter.
EOS stated that the demonstration at Project Convergence highlighted specific capabilities under controlled conditions, with the typical performance of EOS’ Remote Weapon Stations engaging targets up to 800m with a 7.62mm machine gun, and out to 1200m with a 30x113mm cannon.
