    摘要: Several examples of a dual remote control and crew-served weapon station are described herein that uniquely provide at least three operating modes, any one of which can be quickly and efficiently selected based on outputs from various system sensors (e.g., switches and buttons). For example, the first operating mode is a mode in which the weapon is remotely steered and fired (e.g., remote controlled). The second operating mode is a mode in which a weapon cradle is stabilized by a gimbal and the weapon is aimed and fired by a local operator (e.g., crew-served stabilized). The third operating mode is a mode in which the cradle is manually steered and the weapon is fired by the local operator (e.g., full manual).
