At Euronaval 2014, Rheinmetall Defence presents its new 20mm Remote Controlled Gun Station Oerlikon Searanger 20. It appears to be the remote controlled version of the Oerlikon 20mm GAM-B01, a 20mm high-performance gun designed for mounting on any type of ship.

This high precision, stabilized 20mm gun station is designed for mounting on any type of boat or ship. Apart from its use on light patrol and combat boats, this medium calibre, fast-firing gun is an ideal complement to current automated weapon systems on larger vessels and plays an important role in close-range defence.

The gun is remote controlled from a gunner station. The modular sensor unit is equipped with state-of-the-art electro-optical sensors and a video tracking unit. Due to the integrated stabilization and ballistics computation, target engagement is simple and effective.

The high precision Oerlikon 20 mm cannon is a very reliable weapon and simple to maintain. The belted ammunition feed contains 200 rounds ready to fire.
