Remote Controlled Machine Gun Turrets

Remote Controlled Machine Gun MORPOWER UG-02 and
Springfield Saint
Although reminiscent of futuristic action movies, remote-controlled guns such as the MORPOWER UG-02, are a tangible reality. These concepts have long captured our imagination and made appearances in popular films like The Jackal, Shooter, and prominent video games such as Call of Duty, featuring the iconic sentry gun. One of the most notable instances was the deployment of a remote-controlled turret in the 2020 assassination of Iran’s leading nuclear scientist. In actuality, these systems, while seemingly complex, are relatively straightforward and can significantly enhance force capabilities under the right conditions.
This remote-controlled turret enhances an existing weapon system to be operated from a distance. While it doesn’t include a firearm, it has the clamps to mount most standard ARs which feature collapsable stocks. It consists of an RC head and a control interface. This was designed to be used in “dangerous shooting or hunting environments.” The main benefit of these sorts of systems is minimizing personnel exposure. Similar to drones, they allow operators to fire from behind cover.
