KVH Gets $7.1M Order for Fiber Optic Gyros Used in Remote Weapon Stations

-->

KVH Industries announced today that it has received a new $7.1 million order from a defense contractor for fiber optic gyros (FOGs) to employ in remote weapons stations (RWS). Remote weapon stations allow gunners to operate, aim, and fire the weapon from inside the safety of their vehicles, taking the gunners out of turret positions where they are exposed to hostile fire. KVH’s FOGs provide precise optical stabilization and weapon recoil control for RWS units while ensuring that the weapon stays on target whether the vehicle is stationary or on the move, the company said.
