The smart system can chose the type of weapons and reload the module. It also provides target tracking and fire management. Currently, prototypes of the new weapon are being tested, TV channel Zvezda reported.
In real life, the new module would be mounted on warships, combat speed boats, armored vehicles, and various stationary systems.
The automatic combat module is one of the latest defense projects designed in Sevastopol. It can be equipped with different types of weapons of various gauges. It is controlled remotely, from a distance of up to 50 kilometers.
To onlookers the system appears as a videogame. The operator selects the target by touching the screen. Then, the system would automatically track the target regardless of its movements and speed, in any weather and visibility conditions.
In 2016, under the state arms procurement 24 new modules are expected to be delivered to the Russian Defense Ministry. In addition, contracts have also been signed with four foreign customers.
