Kongsberg Test-fires Remote Turret of Boxer Armored Vehicle
Kongsberg and KMW+NEXTER Defense Systems (KNDS) have conducted tests of the Protector RT60 remote turret mounted on the Boxer 8×8 armored vehicle.
The Boxer integrated with the RT60 Remote Turret was first displayed at the opening of the KNDS Boxer manufacturing facility at WFEL, Stockport in May 2021. Kongsberg said it successfully completed platform and turret testing recently.
Building on the capabilities of the RT20 and RT40, the RT60 provides an infantry or reconnaissance force with capabilities, including an advanced sensor suite, with a day camera, thermal camera and laser-range-finder, and an enhanced weapon suite, including a Mk44 30 x 173mm cannon, 7.62 coax weapon, a Commander’s Independent Remote Weapon System (PROTECTOR RS4), with a range of weapon system integrations possible, and twin, under-armor Anti-Tank Guided Missiles.
