Dynateq International has recently introduced an advanced lineup of weapon systems under the Rogue series, designed to enhance combat capabilities across various platforms. The new systems cater to both land and sea operations, offering versatility and cutting-edge technology.
Land Rogue and Super Rogue Series
The original Land Rogue system is equipped with four 76 mm smoke grenade launcher tubes, providing effective concealment and protection. The Super Rogue series expands on this foundation, supporting 20 mm calibre weapons for extended-range combat. Notably, the Super Rogue 2 can mount a 20×139 mm cannon, while the Super Rogue 3 is compatible with a 20×128 mm cannon. Additionally, these systems can be outfitted with 30×173 mm and 30×113 mm cannons, offering flexibility for various combat scenarios.
For low-intensity operations, Dynateq offers the Rogue LTE, a lightweight version tailored for 7.62 mm and 12.7 mm applications. This variant ensures mobility and effectiveness in less demanding environments.
Land and Sea Rogue RCWS
The Land and Sea Rogue Remote Controlled Weapon System (RCWS) features a console with a display screen for camera feeds and a joystick for control. The turret is gyro-stabilised and electrically driven, ensuring precision and stability. An optical observation and sighting system is mounted alongside the weapon, equipped with daylight and thermal imaging cameras, and a laser rangefinder.
23 mm Super Rogue for African Defence Market
A significant highlight of the Rogue series is the 23 mm Super Rogue, specifically developed for the African defence market. This variant is compatible with 23 mm calibre cannons, such as those used in the ZU-23-2 and SZU-23-4 anti-aircraft systems, which are widely deployed in the region.
12.7 mm Sea Rogue RCWS
Dynateq has also introduced a new iteration of the 12.7 mm Sea Rogue RCWS, designed for fast interceptor vessels where weight is a critical factor. Weighing just 180 kg, including the weapon and 200 rounds of ammunition, this system is ideal for high-speed naval platforms. It offers an azimuth range of -170° to +170° and an elevation range from +70° to -20°. The advanced electro-optical suite includes a day camera, thermal imager, and laser rangefinder, with optional optical tracking for enhanced accuracy. The system can also be integrated with a Combat Management System (CMS) for improved operational coordination.
Global Reach and Domestic Use
The entire Rogue lineup is engineered to perform reliably in challenging environments, such as those found in the Middle East. The Rogue and Super Rogue systems have been exported to several countries, including Benin, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the United Arab Emirates. Domestically, the South African Navy employs naval versions of the Rogue system on its frigates and newly commissioned Multi-Mission Inshore Patrol Vessels (MMIPVs).
Dynateq International’s new Rogue weapon systems represent a significant advancement in military technology, offering robust solutions for both land and sea operations. These systems are poised to enhance the combat effectiveness of armed forces worldwide.
