The Moog Reconfigurable Integrated-Weapons Platform to Feature Five Distinct Configurations at AUSA 2024

Moog and General Dynamics Land Systems plan daily configuration changes in respective booths to demonstrate multiple mission capabilities.
East Aurora, NY (Oct 14, 2024) – Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B) Defense Division’s Reconfigurable Integrated-weapons Platform (RIwP®) will feature five unique launcher configurations across two locations during the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting and Exposition 2024. In the Moog booth #1051, the RIwP turret will be displayed on a stand to demonstrate its platform-agnostic design. General Dynamics Land Systems also will feature a RIwP turret integrated with its TRX Defender robotic combat vehicle in booth #703. RIwP is a proven modular, and scalable remote turret offering unmatched capacity to host multi-domain payloads for current and future ground-combat platforms. This remote weapon platform offers air defense, anti-armor, or multi-mission capabilities via world-class, precision medium-caliber and indirect fires.

“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.

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?
