The Spanish firm ESCRIBANO Mechanical & Engineering (EM&E) announced a contract for the supply of its GUARDIAN 1.5 remote weapon station to the Indonesian Army Motorized Brigade at the ongoing show. EM&E is making its show debut in Jakarta. The GUARDIAN 1.5 is a lightweight and compact remote weapon station, specially designed to incorporate a 12.7mm machine gun. The system features 2-axis stabilization and is capable of both day and night operation. It is a system conceived to be integrated into a wide range of land and naval platforms and vehicles, providing excellent defence capacities for short and medium ranges with high fire accuracy, a proven solution against asymmetric threats.
EM&E also concluded an agreement at the show with the Indonesian company PT Jala Berikat, a private company dedicated to the industry of military and police tactical vehicles, non-military special vehicles and disaster management. PT Jala Berikat operates under the trade name of J-Forces, which is why, for the first time, the Spanish company will enter the Asian market thanks to the strategic industrial collaboration with this company and the sale of the remote weapon station GUARDIAN 1.5 which is on display at the J-Forces stand at Indo Defence Expo & Forum.
EM&E also offers the SENTINEL ASPIS remote control weapon station and the GUARDIAN 2.0, a land station. Both are gyro-stabilized on two axes and are capable of operating both day and night. The SENTINEL ASPIS is the lightest naval station available on the market, weighing less than 100 kg. It features an advanced fire control and aiming system and can integrate a 5.56mm or 7.62mm calibre machine guns. The GUARDIAN 2.0 is a land station that can be mounted on different platforms or vehicles with a high capacity for weapon integration, capable of operating 7.62mm, 12.7mm and 40mm MK19 grenade launchers, as well as artillery launchers. Thanks to the armament capacity the system withstands in its standard configuration, this same system has also been employed as a C-UAS system, using it as a hard-kill solution to deal with threats such as commercial UAVs, maximising its interoperability with other detection and neutralisation systems.
