EOS has launched its new R500 Remote Weapon System (RWS) during the International Defence Exhibition & Conference 2025 in Abu Dhabi.
"The modern battlefield is evolving rapidly, and armed forces need systems that keep pace with emerging threats. The R500 has been developed with direct operational insights to provide reliability, precision, and adaptability in the most challenging environments," said EOS CEO Dr Andreas Schwer.
The R500 is based on EOS' R400. Compared to the R400, the R500 has greater situational awareness and survivability. It is designed to be employed by armoured vehicles and tactical platforms. It can accommodate rockets, missiles and various other weapons systems.
"Its introduction at IDEX 2025 reflects EOS’ ongoing commitment to equipping defence forces with solutions that enhance their effectiveness and survivability," Dr Schwer added.
It also features an integrated AI-driven Counter-UAS radar. Additional armour up to STANAG Level 2 can also be fitted to the R500 RWS.
