   A remote controlled weapon station (RCWS), remotely operated weapon system (ROWS), or remote weapon system (RWS), is a remotely operated light or medium-caliber weapon system, often equipped with a fire-control system, that can be installed on a ground combat vehicle or sea- and air-based combat platform.

3. AN/SLQ-25 Nixie - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AN/SLQ-25_Nixie

   The AN/SLQ-25A utilises a fiber optic tow cable (FOTC) and a 10-horsepower (7.5 kW) RL-272C double drum winch. Several engineering changes resulted in commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment being utilised extensively in the system. A diagnostic program can be initiated locally or from the remote control station, and tests all electronic ...

4. Active heave compensation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_heave_compensation

   [4] [5] Hydraulic "active boost" winches control the oil flow from the pump(s) to the winch so that the target position is reached. Hydraulic winch systems can use accumulators and passive heave compensation to form a semi-active system with both an active and a passive component. In such systems the active part will take over when the passive ...

   The first of these systems used mechanical clutches between luffing and hoist drums, giving simplicity and a "near level" result. [5] Later systems have used modern electronic controls and quickly reversible motors with good slow-speed control to the hoist winch motors, so as to give a positioning accuracy of inches.

7. Beartrap (hauldown device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beartrap_(hauldown_device)

   Constant tension is intentionally maintained on the cable via an automatically-adjusting hydraulic system connected with multiple high-sensitivity tension sensors, and a shock absorption system. [1] Fail-safes are incorporated into the device as well. When the LSO determines that a relatively quiet moment is approaching, they instruct the pilot ...
