A 'remote weapon system' or 'station', (RWS) is a remotely controlled weapon station for light and medium caliber weapons which can be installed on any type of vehicle or other platforms (land and sea-based). Such equipment is used on modern military vehicles, as it allows a gunner to remain in the relative protection of the vehicle. It may also retrofitted onto existing vehicles, for example, the CROWS system is being fitted to American Humvees.
