In the Intercept Boat operation serving as an intercept at high speed, it is impossible to carry out weapon operations manually by humans which is directly attached to the weapons that were in the ship’s bow. To operationalize arms of the bridge, it needs RWS (Remote Weapon System) which is a system of arms control with the use of electronic equipment. In the research and development in the Intercept Boat RWS, it is expected to make RWS models to operate the 12.7 mm caliber weapon mounted on the Intercept Boat. With the RWS in the operation of the weapon on the Intercept Boat, it will obtain several important benefits such as RWS can serve to protect the shooter from the potential threat of being shot behind the opponent; features locking the target and stabilized platform RWS are expected to improve the accuracy of shootings, Optronik at RWS can increase the distance viewing and record whatever is seen.
