GUN TURRET SYSTEM_ GRENADE LAUNCHER SYSTEM

Grenade Launcher SystemThe Moog Grenade Launcher System (GLS) is an electromechanically controlled, dual-axis drive mechanism for positioning two grenade discharge racks at

four discrete elevation angles, corresponding to desired firing ranges. Each discharge rack contains six grenades and allows the operator to individually de-

ploy a combination of smoke and/or non-lethal blunt trauma and distraction grenades at distances up to 100 meters. The motor controller and discharge rack

drive sub-assemblies are mounted to the existing Remote Weapon Station (RWS) structure. Although the sub-assemblies are common, each side interfaces

to the vehicle with unique left or right adapter brackets. The launcher assembly is designed to be modular and adaptable to facilitate a variety of platforms.

The GLS operator interface includes a Fire Control Panel (FCP) located inside the vehicle that connects with the RWS via Ethernet. The FCP provides launcher

and grenade status for both discharge racks. Power and communication to/from the internal FCP and external motor controller/launch electronics are via

circuits in the existing RWS slip-ring. The FCP communicates the elevation command via CAN bus to the MC 100D motor controller which provides position

loop closure for each of the discharge rack drive motors.
