Turkey Aselsan
STAMP
Aselsan's lightweight, gyro-stabilized remote-controlled machine-gun platform, developed to counter asymmetric threats and fitted to Turkish naval, coastal and land platforms. Its stabilized turret keeps the line of sight on target while the carrying platform is moving, enabling precise fire against stationary or moving targets from patrol boats and combat ships. STAMP mounts a 7.62mm or 12.7mm machine gun or a 40mm automatic grenade launcher, with a non-penetrating deck mounting that simplifies installation and a low radar cross-section profile. The refined STAMP-2 adds a dual-axis stabilization system and forms the basis of Aselsan's wider remote naval gun family.
