The Slinger counter-drone system draws inspiration from the historical Slinger soldier, renowned for their precision in launching small stones to defeat enemies from a distance. This Australian-made system effectively counters modern drone threats with a single, lethal shot. It incorporates a radar, a 30mm cannon with specialised ammunition, and EOS proprietary stabilisation and pointing technology. Capable of tracking and engaging moving drones beyond 800m, the Slinger is ideal for urban environments due to its unique ammunition. Designed based on lessons from conflict regions like Ukraine, it meets contemporary and emerging threats.

FEATURES

• High precision weapon platform weighing less than 400 kg
• Fully stabilised for on the move operation 
• Exquisite pointing technology for extreme accuracy
• 4-axis sighting system with sensor unit that moves independently of the gun in both elevation and azimuth
• Bushmaster M230LF 30x113mm cannon 
• Lightweight 30mm Proximity Sensing Ammunition with radio frequency proximity fuzed, high explosive, fragmentation round
• Echodyne ultra-low size, weight, and power (SWaP) 4D targeting radar with active beamsteering ESA
• Wind sensor 

The Titanis Counter Drone Defence System is based upon the proven EOS R-Series Remote Weapon Systems (RWS), with direct energy, hard and soft kill capabilities, to provide a layered protection to UAS threats.

The solution enables identification and close combat against UAS targets; with both soft and hard kill capabilities, while providing the ability to operate under protection.

The cost of introducing the CUAS capability is reduced, as the training, support and operation are all based upon the in-service R400 RWS.

FEATURES

• Integrated command and control
• Integrated soft/hard kill and directed energy effectors
• SWARM defeat capable
• Layered sensor fusion and integration
• Very low false alarm rate
• Fixed, mobile and portable installation
• Protection for facilities, key personnel and mobile forces
• Technology transfer and local production possible
• Locally supportable

EOS’ High Energy Laser (HEL) weapon uses a powerful laser as its energy source, with ranges up to 54kW, depending on the application.

The ultra-light R150 system is unique to the market. It’s full stabilised, highly accurate, designed for 5.56mm, 7.62mm and 12.7mm calibre weapons, and is suitable for both wheeled and tracked vehicles.

The reduced mass of the R150 enables it to be installed on a wider range of light tactical and logistics vehicles where the roof structure may not support the full weight of a larger RWS.

The system uses the EOS common user interface so an operator trained on the R400 can directly transition to an R150.

FEATURES

• Light weight, compact to facilitate mobility and manoeuvrability
• No below roof penetration
• 75kg gimbal and sensor unit
• All sensors (laser range finder, day and thermal cameras) housed in a single compact unit

The Mk2 operates a variety weapons including a machine gun, a 30mm lightweight cannon and an automatic grenade launcher.

The first round hit probability is provided through an enhanced integrated ballistic solution which analyses weapon and ammunition data; range and ambient environment in addition to vehicle attitude and dynamics. Performance can be further enhanced with optional video track of targets and multi-axis stabilisation.

The advanced technology of the system combined with the lightweight 30mm ATK M230 LF cannon provides light vehicles with unprecedented access to firepower normally reserved for much heavier (armoured) vehicles.

The R400S – Mk2 is in service with the Australian Army and five other customers.

FEATURES

• A high precision single weapon capable of deploying 30mm firepower on a system weighing less than 400kg
• 3-axis stabiliser
• Flexible ballistic protection
• Small dispersed control modules allow integration into tight internal vehicle spaces
• Sub-milliradian accuracy
• Integrated video tracker with video and audio recording options
• Integrated firing inhibit zones with field adjustment
• All sensors housed in a single compact unit
• Full BIT with advanced logistics support
• Plug-and-play compatible with other EOS weapon systems

The R600 is a heavier remote weapon system capable of housing two weapons for maximum firepower, mission flexibility and responsiveness in operation.

It integrates advanced surveillance capabilities including stabilised long-range sensors and battlefield sector scanning with up to 200 programmable target reference points for rapid engagement of possible targets directly from surveillance mode.

First-round hit probability is exceptional as the sophisticated ballistic solution takes into account weapons, ammunition, range, atmospheric environment; and vehicle attitude and target motion.

The R600 is in service with a S.E Asia customer.

FEATURES

• Twin automatic weapon configurations and single canon up to 30mm
• High degree of ballistic protection
• Integration into tight internal vehicle spaces
• Integrated video tracker with video and audio recording options
• Integrated firing inhibit zones with field adjustment
• All sensors housed in a single compact unit
• Full BIT with advanced logistics support

The R800S provides heavy IFV firepower for significantly less price and weight than conventional turret systems.

The R800S is a heavy gimbal RWS that mounts the Bushmaster Mk44S 30x173mm cannon, plus mounting points for ATGM, Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAM) and additional effectors. Employing the same common interface as other EOS systems, the R800S is intended for customers requiring a lethality upgrade without compromising payload or making the extensive modifications required of a full turret system. The R800S offers protection levels from STANAG Level 2 to 4 and delivers turret-level direct firepower for 30% of the weight and cost.

FEATURES

All of the features of the R800S, plus:

• Greatest lethality on an unturreted system
• Utilise full suite of 30x173mm munitions with effects beyond 3 km
• Delivers MK44S, coax, third effector and ammo at a weight of less than 2000lbs above the roof

The T2000 establishes a new technology standard for medium calibre turrets, with advanced features never previously offered in a fully integrated solution.

The EOS common user interface ensures that any operator already trained on an EOS Remote Weapon System can directly transition to the T2000 at much lower training burden. For organisations with military vehicle fleets comprising multiple platforms and weapon configurations this provides significant cost savings in training, as well as easing the on-going training and annual qualification burdens for all turret or weapon system operators.

Commonality of sensors, human machine interfaces (HMI) and software across the EOS family offers significant logistic and maintenance savings where multiple EOS RWS and turrets are in-service.

FEATURES

• Unprecedented firepower with 30-40mm high performance cannon, 30mm lightweight cannon, and up to two 7.62mm GPMG
• 21st century situational awareness, including see-through armour, laser warning, and 360 degree radar
• Integrated active protection
• Anti-tank guided missile fully integrated and protected
• UAS (Unmanned Aerial System) management port for UAS deployment and operation, as well as counter-UAS systems
• Embedded training and crew procedural simulation
• Manned version, or unmanned version with no hull penetration
