Trackfire Remote Weapon Station

Full Specifications

The Trackfire Remote Weapon Station is a modern, stabilized weapon system built for armored vehicles, patrol craft, and fixed sites. Designed to let crews fight from under armor, Trackfire reflects the growing demand for remote, sensor driven firepower across U.S. and allied forces.

Developed by Saab of Sweden, Trackfire was created to improve crew survivability while keeping precision fire available in high threat environments. The system supports a wide range of medium caliber weapons and is optimized for day and night combat, urban operations, and convoy protection.

Design and Capabilities

Trackfire combines electro optical sensors, thermal imaging, and a laser rangefinder in a single stabilized mount. Two axis stabilization allows accurate fire while the host vehicle is moving, even over rough terrain. Operators control the system from inside the vehicle using a protected console, reducing exposure to small arms fire and shrapnel.

The station can be fitted with weapons ranging from 7.62 mm and 12.7 mm machine guns to 40 mm automatic grenade launchers. Effective engagement ranges typically extend beyond 1,500 meters, depending on weapon choice and ammunition. Integrated ballistic computing improves first round hit probability.

Operational Use and Success Story

Trackfire has been selected for multiple European and export programs, including border security vehicles and naval patrol platforms. Its modular design allows fast integration on wheeled and tracked vehicles, making it attractive for rapid force modernization efforts. Saab continues to market Trackfire as a flexible option for NATO aligned forces seeking affordable remote weapon capability.
