Vinghog has enjoyed impressive growth over the past 10 years, due, largely, to the development and success of new products like the Advanced Multi Role Weapon Station (AMRWS).

The Kongsberg Protector, RWS, was initially developed by Vinghog in cooperation with Kongsberg Defense & Aerospace "KDA".

Simrad Optronics subsidiaries, Vinghog (Norway) and Vingtech (USA) are among the main suppliers for the RWS Protector family.

Vinghog entered an exclusive cooperating agreement with KDA until 2012 both further development of the RWS and delivery of parts to the RWS Protector family. Protector RWS has been chosen by more than 14 nations.

KDA won the crows program in the USA, which is the largest RWS program so far.
