Description: The Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) FLW is a family of low weight remote controlled weapon station designed for installation on a wide variety of armored vehicles ranging from the Dingo all protected vehicle to the Boxer wheeled armored personnel carrier. These weapon station stations can be equipped with either machine guns (7.62mm or 12.7mm) or automatic grenade launchers (AGLs). Its gyro stabilization system allows very accurate and controlled weapon firing, even while moving through rough terrain at high speed.

The FLW 100 remote weapon station, also referred to as light FLW, weighs less than 100 kilograms and has been selected for installation on Germany's Dingo 2 all-protected vehicles.
