MARLIN - WS
MODULAR ADVANCED REMOTELY CONTROLLED LIGHTWEIGHT NAVAL WEAPON STATION
The MARLIN - WS is an advanced system
developed to meet the emerging requirements of
modern naval warfare at best level of effectiveness
and suitable either as main armament for small
size vessels or as secondary armament for larger
ship, with no deck penetration and simple
installation.
The MARLIN - WS is a highly accurate and reliable
multi-role system, particularly effective in the
simultaneous engagement of multiple targets such
as swarms of Fast Inshore Attack Crafts.
The MARLIN – WS can be fitted with either a 25mm
or 30mm cannon and it is modular as to be
configured according to an wide range of customers’
requirements.
The modular architecture offers an extensive
MARLIN - WS
combination of characteristics. Optical sensor suite
with day and night vision and laser range finder can
be mounted coaxially to or independent from the
line of fire or not installed at all.
The excellent performance provided by the fast and
accurate servo systems, are also ensured working
either as a stand-alone system with own Remote
Control Console or linked to the ship’s Combat
Management System. The latest generation of built-
in digital architecture provides a straightforward
interface for being simply slaved to the ship’s Fire
Control System or being fully integrated into the
CMS through LAN technology with Fire Control
System and video tracking capabilities residing
within the weapon.
