Overview

The Tavor weapon mount is a full Vishwatronix stack - mechanics, power electronics, motion firmware, and a tactical operator HUD. It supports remote engagement from UAVs and drones, UGVs, boats, and bulletproof vehicles, with defence-in-depth failsafes from the UI through the MCU.

Capabilities

  • Closed-loop pan/tilt slew with joystick speed scaling
  • IMU orientation fusion and optional hold assist
  • Laser rangefinder for ranging and bullet-trajectory calculation
  • Weapon trigger with software and MCU arming gates
  • Tested in burst mode and single shot
  • Fits UAV / drone, UGV, boat, and bulletproof-vehicle programmes
  • Make in India - custom weapon integration available
