STAMP-PLUS inherits existing capabilities and components of the current Remote Weapon Systems (RWS), namely 12.7mm STAMP and 30mm SMASH of ASELSAN, to cover a variety of missions and operational concepts.
STAMP-PLUS is built on the legacy of STAMP baseline and enhanced its capabilities with a High Accuracy Stabilized Gimbal (HASG) integrated electro-optic (EO) suit.
STAMP-PLUS features are:
- Stabilized and remotely operated naval weapon system, suitable to be installed on a range of naval vessels from Fast Interceptors to Corvettes, Frigates and Landing Platform Docks
- Built with an independent, high accuracy and stabilized gimbal on the turret to perform in a variety of operational environments and missions
- Real Time operating System
- Effective in day and night conditions for warfare with a diverse threat set up to: Surface Threats (Sea and Land) up to 60 knots with high manoeuvring capability; Air Threats up to 200 knots; Man target
- Automatic target tracking with two-axis stabilized turret under adverse weather and sea conditions
- Zeroing and Parallax Correction
- Probable Hit Point Calculaions
- Own ship attitude compensation
- Temperature, Wind, Pressure Compensation
- Automatic slew-to-target capability assigned from the existing Combat Management System (CMS) and sensors of the ship
- Network integration (multiple RWS)
- Start-up time of the system is less than 1 (one) minute
- Minimum radar cross-section
- Minimum (except for the cabling) penetration on platform
- Built-in-Test (BITE) capability
- Modular structure and open hardware architecture for potential mid-life upgrades and optional improvements
- Ergonomic Operator Console Design (MIL-STD-1472G compliant)
- Operator Console enables the Operator to offset the firing aim point when tracking threats and targets
- System incorporates firing circuit interrupts and a firing enable key
- Adjustable software no-fire zones; mechanical movement and firing cut-outs for training, elevation and depression
- Collecting basket for casings, rounds and links ejected from the weapon
- Adjustable shot group quantitiy selection (1-3-5-10-20 or Continuous)
- Reduced rate of fire (150 rpm)
- Counting the fired rounds and Low Ammo Warning
- Warning Buzzer for Servo Active and Weapon is ready to fire (optional)
- Operating the system from multiple locations
- Operator Console selector switch allows selection of the desired RWS mount
- System operates at a reduced level of performance (non-stab mode, only TV camera mode, no LRF mode, back-up battery mode, manuel mode etc.) in the event of a critical failure
- System is covered to protect functional components of the mounted weapon
- System is built to withstand exposure to conditions up to and including Sea State 7
- System has an operational life expectancy of 25 years
- Technology Readiness Level 9
STAMP-PLUS EO suit with HASG features are:
- The HASG provides even higher hit probability and surveillance capability compared to configurations where EO suit is fixed
- HASG allows the operator to conduct fall of shot observation at a range of at least 1500 meters while using 0.50 Caliber tracer ammunition
- Surveillance mode (Surveillance without pointing the gun)
- System maintains the threat at the centre of the Operator Display when the fire control solution is applied
- Operator controlled de-icing system to melt accumulated ice on EO suit
STAMP-PLUS Sub-Systems are:
- EO suit (Day TV, Thermal Imaging Camera and LRF)
- Operator Console with display and controls
- Battery and Battery Charger
- Video Recorder (Optional)
