Rheinmetall Seahawk

The Rheinmetall Seahawk is the maritime adaptation of Rheinmetall's remotely controlled weapon system.

A range of calibers can be mounted on the system.

[1] According to Jane's Defence Weekly the system uses the same sensors and servos as the manufacturer's larger naval guns.

[2] The manufacturer can provide its low-weight version, mounting an autocannon of up to 40mm, or an ultralight version of the mounting, suitable for mounting machine guns or automatic grenade launchers on small patrol boats.

[3] The mounting is capable of allowing the operator to electronically switch ammunition from two different magazines.

Trinidad and Tobago used a Rheinmetall Seahawk mounting system, bearing a 20mm autocannon, as the main armament on some of its patrol vessels.
