Paris, France June 8, 2026: SIG SAUER Advanced Defense Systems will showcase its lightweight Remote-Controlled Weapon Stations (RCWS) Family at Eurosatory 2026, highlighting how compact, AI-powered remote firepower is evolving to support distributed, multi-domain operations across manned and unmanned platforms
At the SIG SAUER Hall #6 booth #D26, the UltraLight RCWS, the airborne-configured MicroLight RCWS, and the Ranger RCUremote control unit will be on display, demonstrating a modular approach designed to address emerging operational requirements across land, airborne, maritime, and counter-UAS missions
At the center of the display is the latest version of the combat-proven UltraLight RCWS, mounted with next-generation machine guns, including the MMG and NGSW family, thereby offering a complete system set that is the lightest and most lethal available worldwide.
With AI-Powered cueing, the system supports simultaneous tracking of multiple targets in day and night conditions, including threat prioritization to reduce operator workload and accelerate response times in dynamic combat environments. Human operators remain fully responsible for target identification and engagement decisions.
SIG SAUER will also present the airborne-configured MicroLight RCWS, demonstrating how lightweight remote firepower is expanding into unmanned aerial operations. The compact system integrates a stabilized SIG SAUER light machine gun with an unmanned aerial platform, maintaining platform stability and enabling controlled engagement.
Alongside the weapon stations, SIG SAUER will present its Ranger RCU remote control unit, designed to simplify remote weapon operation across multiple operational environments and support safe remote weapon operation via wired or wireless communications. The improved user interface supports the latest features, such as Multiple Point & Shoot™ and Automatic Target Recognition (ATR), which uses computer vision algorithms to detect, classify, and track potential threats in real time, including personnel, vehicles, vessels, and low-flying drones.
The systems displayed at Eurosatory reflect broader operational lessons emerging from recent combat environments, where lightweight remote firepower is increasingly required to support mobile, distributed, and rapidly deployable operations. Applications now extend beyond traditional armored vehicles to include unmanned ground systems, maritime security platforms, remote firing positions, and airborne deployments. Visitors to Eurosatory 2026 will be able to view and control the systems and discuss operational applications with representatives from SIG SAUER Advanced Defense Systems.
