  2. Remote Operated Small Arms Mount • What is the ROSAM? • A remote operated, 2-axis stabilized small arms mount • FLIR/CCDTV sighting systems • Auto-Tracking function • Look-up table for ballistic compensation • Multiple weapon interfaces • Directed by joy-stick, radar, or remote EO device (i.e. MARFLIR) • What are some benefits of ROSAM? • Operator inside craft, out of weather • Greater accuracy, especially while on fast/dynamic platform • Fewer rounds expended • Fire cutouts enable small missiles (back-blast) • Remote operation for unmanned vehicles • Crew servable in event of electronic failure • Interface with multiple small arms weapons

  3. Remote Operated Small Arms Mount • History of ROSAM? • Stabilized GUA-19 • Stabilized 25mm • Early remote small arms testing • Slaving remote mounts to radar and EO devices • Integrating remote mounts to Integrated Radar Optical Surveillance Sighting System (IROS3) • ROSAM IDIQ contract

  4. Remote Operated Small Arms Mount • ROSAM IDIQ Contract • 5 year IDIQ, 21.2 million dollar contract awarded • Commercial item synopsis announced April 2003 • 5 companies submitted proposals • 1 Government mount tested at sponsor’s request • GR-Dynamics Mini-Typhoon • Kollmorgen CLAWS • Argos Vision Systems AVS-2500ST • NSWC Louisville EX-45 • Recon Optical CROWS • Kongsberg Protector • Land based weapons testing August 2003 • Competitive simulated testing August 2003 • First mounts to be delivered May 2004

  11. Remote Operated Small Arms Mount • Live Fire Testing • The purpose of this testing was to verify the mounts could handle the payload and recoil of the M2HB, along with keeping accuracy. • Four foot square target at 300 yards • Fired 10 round bursts, 8 times

  12. Remote Operated Small Arms Mount • Lessons Learned During LFT • Firing the weapon distorts the video image from the sighting systems. This will likely have negative affects to the auto-trackers. • Overcome issues tuning the stabilization to compensate for the recoil of the weapon. • Shorter bursts may be more effective than traditional crew served firing bursts.

  13. Remote Operated Small Arms Mount • Competitive Simulated Testing • The purpose of this testing was to verify the mounts stabilization and auto-tracking was adequate in various sea states. • Each vender mounted their system on a 6 degrees freedom of motion platform at NAWC TSD, Orlando. • Each mount was tested with 13 different scenarios. • Dispersion data was recorded from each scenario.

  14. Remote Operated Small Arms Mount • Lessons Learned During CST • Stabilization isn’t everything, auto-tracking is very important. • Systems that stabilize the sighting sensors, which send position commands to the weapon, seem to lag behind those that stabilize the whole system.
