“We are excited to showcase multiple configurations of the RIwP turret for the U.S. Army at AUSA 2024. The daily configuration changes across the Moog and General Dynamics Land Systems’ booths will demonstrate how this product can transform to meet the changing needs of our complex battlefield. This is a shining example of industry coordination and an extension of the multi-year TRX collaboration between General Dynamics Land Systems and Moog,” said Tony Peck, Turreted Weapon Systems Director, Moog Inc. On day one, Moog will feature RIwP with a 30mm gun, Stinger and Coyote missile launchers, and radars. On day two, RIwP will be outfitted with an APKWS 70mm rocket launcher and a Stinger launcher along with the 30mm gun and radars. Both configurations are designed to meet air defense and counter-small unmanned aircraft systems (C-sUAS) missions.
The RIwP turret on the TRX Defender in General Dynamics Land Systems’ booth also will change each of the three days of AUSA. Supported by RIwP’s multi-mission payload modularity options, the TRX Defender is designed to protect formations against air and ground threats in a Mission Command on the Move scenario, relieving subordinate units from being tasked for command post defense.

The Moog exhibit will also feature other defense solutions including the Flexible Mission Platform (FMPTM), Control Actuation Systems (CAS) for precision missile steering, a Portable Weapon Management System (PWMS), avionics systems, and high-performance integrated rotary solutions including slip rings, motion control, and media conversion. Additionally, Moog actuation, flight control computers, and active feel and trim capabilities for the U.S. Army’s Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) will be highlighted in the booth.
So is it like one fire control system and all you need to do is bolt on and off the different weapons? And how long does it take to switch between weapons?
