Within the scope of a contract signed between Aselsan and a company located in Malaysia, Aselsan’s 30mm “MUHAFIZ” Remote Controlled Stabilized Naval Gun System will be integrated to the 44 meter long boats of the Malaysian Armed Forces.

Aselsan’s Remote Controlled Weapon Systems that currently take part in the inventories of Turkish Naval Forces Command, Coast Guard  Command, Land Forces Command and Security General Directorate are preferred by the Armed Forces of ten other countries as well.  

The aforementioned contract also bears importance as it is Aselsan’sfirst Weapon System export to the South East Asian Region.

SMASH is a remotely operated stabilized weapon station fitted with a 30mm Mk44 Bushmaster-II Canon.

SMASH configurations incorporate advanced features as remote operation, built-in electro-optic sensor system for autonomous operation, day and night operation, stabilized turret, automatic target tracking (detect, track and fire on the move) and ballistic computation.

SMASH System has a stabilized turret which enables the line-of-sight of the gun to be aimed at the target at all times. Due to the stabilization feature, the system can perform precise firing against stationary or moving targets while the platform is on-the-move. 

The system can be operated remotely by using the remote gun control unit and hence provides gunner protection against counter fire. Besides, SMASH System is capable of firing 200 rounds per minute with its dual feed 30mm automatic cannon.
