Commercial Name – CORCED

Product Name – Remotely Controlled Weapon Station for Naval Platforms

Description – CORCED is a stabilized, lightweight weapon station mounted externally on the ship’s deck. This system allows remote operation of a machine gun on a pedestal with cant and elevation movements, with remote aiming and firing of the weapon, performed from a console.

Distinguishing Features – Used in patrol, reconnaissance, and engagement missions of surface targets or low-altitude aerial targets, CORCED has high precision shots while moving, in three options: intermittent, burst, and full.

About Product Development – CORCED was commissioned by EMGEPRON (Naval Projects Management Company), with the intention of ensuring the use of a remotely controlled pedestal for a .50 caliber machine gun. After training in Israel, the result was the delivery of a product with functionalities such as automatic target tracking (ATT), a laser rangefinder with an independent camera, alternative use of the 7.62mm caliber machine gun, automatic loading mechanisms, and a slip-ring.
