DSEI 2019: MSI Defence’s SEAHAWK LW30M Naval Gun System Gets Launch Customer

At DSEI 2019, MSI-Defence Systems (MSI-DS) announced that the latest addition to its SEAHAWK family of gun systems dedicated to the naval field: The SEAHAWK LW30M, now has a launched customer.

Xavier Vavasseur 13 Sep 2019

MSI-DS is very proud to announce the receipt of the first orders for the MSI-DS SEAHAWK LW30M naval gun system. The SEAHAWK LW range was unveiled at DSEI 2017, fitted with a 14.5mm KPV Heavy Machine Gun. Equipped with an EOD suite comprising a day camera, thermal Imaging camera, laser rangefinder and Fire Control System (FCS) the LW30M system will be delivered to the customer in due course.

Funded and designed in house by MSI-DS, the system will accommodate the cannons of Northrop Grumman MK44s 30mm; the existing KPV 14.5mm, KAA 20mm and M242 25mm.  The integration of the MK44s cannon in the MSI-DS SEAHAWK LW mounting offers navies and coastal authorities a lightweight, reliable and cost-effective gun solution with an extended range capability and unmatched accuracy in the market segment. The MSI-DS SEAHAWKLW30M incorporates the notable added advantage of dual ammunition feed capability, providing for either additional ammunition capacity or alternatively the considerable advantage of two dissimilar onboard ammunition types.
