Australian company Electro Optic Systems (EOS) and Singapore Technologies Kinetics (STK) have jointly completed a new maintenance and support facility for remote weapon stations (RWSs) in Singapore, EOS announced on 30 October.

Dr Ben Greene, group chief executive of EOS, described the facility to IHS Jane's as "probably the most sophisticated of its type in Asia".

Jointly staffed by STK and EOS, the facility will support both companies' weapon systems. Greene said he anticipated the facility would eventually support other companies' products.

EOS - 9% owned by Northrop Grumman - is understood to have supplied around 100 of its R-600 RWSs to equip STK-manufactured Terrex 8x8 infantry carrier vehicles of the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF).
