BREAKING NEWS
SABER 25 RCT represents FNSS’s advanced engineering capability in remote weapon systems combined with medium-caliber lethality. The system is optimized for armored fighting vehicles (AFVs), armored personnel carriers (APCs), and combat reconnaissance platforms operating in both conventional and asymmetric warfare environments.
Operational Role
The primary role of SABER 25 is to provide effective firepower against:
Compared to heavy machine gun-based systems, the 25 mm automatic cannon offers superior range, penetration, and target effect.
Doctrine and Concept of Use
SABER 25 is designed in line with modern mechanized warfare doctrines, including:
The remote-controlled concept allows the operator to engage targets from under armor, significantly improving crew survivability.
System Architecture
The turret is based on a basketless (non-penetrating) design, providing:
The system consists of the weapon group, electro-optical sensor suite, fire control system, servo drive units, and vehicle command-and-control interfaces.
Survivability and Protection
Ballistic protection levels can be increased according to user requirements. The low-profile silhouette reduces visual and radar signature, while remote operation keeps the crew protected inside the vehicle.
Accuracy and Engagement
Thanks to FNSS-developed servo drives and fire control subsystems, SABER 25 offers:
Two-axis stabilization ensures accurate engagement of both stationary and moving targets.
Integration and Ecosystem
With its open-architecture design, SABER 25 can be integrated with:
It is compatible with a wide range of 4x4, 6x6, 8x8 wheeled and tracked armored vehicles.
