Networked Remotely Operated Weapon System (2003-) The Network-Integrated Remotely Operated Weapon System (NROWS) is a standalone networked weapons platform designed to provide a remote lethal response to intruders. The system can be deployed by unmanned ground vehicle, or fixed in place to provide a remote response capability for a wide variety of security operations and other tactical missions. NROWS provides field or base commanders with a real-time, unattended weapons pod that quickly extends the delay/denial response capabilities at high-value installations or in tactical scenarios. NROWS is integrated with autonomous surveillance, detection, and target tracking to enable timely mission-essential information and response to enemy activity. NROWS utilizes a distributed TCP/IP network control-communication architecture, which allows for flexible integration and operation of multiple platforms from a single control station. Communications can be established by a direct link or wirelessly, incorporating anti-jamming, encryption, or low probability of intercept/low probability of detection (LPI/LPD) methods.
