Textron Systems' combined next-generation munitions, sensors, and integrated systems provide the network-centric warfare solutions needed to support the U.S. Army's Objective Force transformation initiative.

A leading example of advanced integrated technology at work is Textron Systems' Hornet Wide Area Munition (WAM), the first and only smart autonomous, rapid deployment, top-attack weapon available today. This "robotic soldier" can be used to quickly defend large non-linear areas, protect early entry forces, reduce enemy mobility and extablish defensive perimeters, without putting troops in the line of fire.

Textron Systems' Cadillac Gage Gun Turret Drive and Stabilization System is hailed as the world's most advanced precision strike, shoot-on-the-move technology of its kind. Recognized as the leader in turret control and stabilization systems, Textron Systems has delivered more than 50,000 turret control systems for use on combat vehicles worldwide.

Cadillac Gage Turret Control Systems have proven essential to effectiveness of the M1-A1 Abrams tank. During deployment in Desert Storm operations, the system demonstrated outstanding performance, both day and night, accumulating an impressive first-round strike-on-the-move record or greater than 90%, at distances up to 3000 meters, without sacrificing speed or combat mobility.
