The Rheinmetall Seahawk is the maritime adaptation of Rheinmetall's remotely controlled weapon system. A range of calibers can be mounted on the system.[1]
According to Jane's Defence Weekly the system uses the same sensors and servos as the manufacturer's larger naval guns.[2] The manufacturer can provide its low-weight version, mounting an autocannon of up to 40mm, or an ultralight version of the mounting, suitable for mounting machine guns or automatic grenade launchers on small patrol boats.[3]
The mounting is capable of allowing the operator to electronically switch ammunition from two different magazines.[1]
Sensors include an infrared camera, a low-light camera, and a laser range finder.[1]
