Rheinmetall is putting its counter-drone muscle on display at Enforce Tac 2026 with the RCWS320C-UAS, a smart, remote-controlled weapon built to protect vehicles and bases from swarming unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The platform merges sensor data, automated firing controls, and hard- or soft-kill options, giving operators flexible defenses against drones and other aerial targets.
It can be paired with SEOSS-320, a vision suite that boosts targeting accuracy and first-hit probability while keeping crews fully aware of their surroundings.
Armament includes the Dillon Aero M134D electrically powered minigun, capable of rapid fire against swarming UAVs.
Compliant with NATO’s Generic Vehicle Architecture, the RCWS320C-UAS can be mounted on tracked or wheeled vehicles, unmanned platforms, or stationary sites.
Behind the Weapon
Weighing 430 kilograms (948 pounds) empty and 530 kilograms (1,168 pounds) loaded, the system is light enough to fit a wide range of mission profiles.
It fires 3,000 rounds per minute and can engage threats up to 600 meters (1,970 feet) away, providing the firepower needed to intercept agile aerial targets.
Built to meet military standards, the weapon ensures electrical and electromagnetic compatibility for seamless integration on combat platforms.
Adaptable modules allow radar coverage of 230 degrees horizontally and 90 degrees in elevation, giving operators a broad defensive envelope.
It can also accommodate radar through adaptable modules, enabling coverage of up to 230 degrees horizontally and 90 degrees in elevation.
Enforce Tac 2026 runs through February 25 at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre in Germany.
