EM&E Group, Spanish company leader in technology and innovation in the field of Defence and Security, has been awarded to supply two Naval Remote Controlled Weapon Stations SENTINEL 30 equipped with the Mk44 Stretch Bushmaster Chain Gun, and two Electro Optics Systems OTEOS which will be used as Firing Control Systems for the Remote Controlled Weapon Stations to the Royal Thai Navy.

This contract represents a historic milestone for the company, as it will be the first time that EM&E Group supplies its naval solutions to the Royal Thai Navy, in a strategic tender that aims to provide the officers with a rapid response capability and increased accuracy through stabilisation, remote control and advanced observation with target tracking in naval systems.

The Naval Remote Controlled Weapon Stations SENTINEL 30 and the Electro Optics Systems OTEOS will be equipped in the Tor 997 and Tor 998 patrol boats of the Royal Thai Navy. Among the features of the SENTINEL 30 are the ability to fire 30x173mm ammunition, an extraordinary capacity of 200 rounds per ammunition box and the compatibility with Programmable Air Burst Munition.

However, this is not the first collaboration between EM&E Group and the Royal Thai Navy, having delivered successfully seven Land Remote Controlled Weapon Stations GUARDIAN 1.5 mounted in Chaiseri Armoured Wheeled Amphibious Vehicles in 2024. This landmark contributed to enhance the capabilities of the 8×8 used by the marines by mounting a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun controlled remotely.

Additionally, other Thai authorities such as the Royal Thai Police are currently using the aunav.NEXT in tasks of neutralization of Improvised Explosive Devices all over the country. These robots manufactured by EM&E Group are the most powerful on the market, capable of lifting 250 kg and with two synchronized arms.

These projects reaffirm EM&E Group’s strategy to supply Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries with the most innovative solutions in the fields of Defence and Security, providing cutting-edge technology to ensure the safety of the soldiers. The recent opening of an office in the Asia-Pacific region is just one more sign of the company’s clear commitment to be closer than ever to its partners and customers.
