In the statement made by ASELSAN regarding the issue, “Indonesian coasts will be protected by ASELSAN Remote Controlled Stabilized Gun Systems. ASELSAN signed a new sales contract to be offered to the use of Indonesia’s naval platforms. “statements were included. In the statement made by ASELSAN, the photograph of the 30mm SMASH Remote Controlled Stabilized Gun System was included.
No information was given about the total price of the contract signed and the number of systems to be supplied.

30mm SMASH Remote Controlled Stabilized Naval Gun System
SMASH is a remotely operated stabilized weapon station fitted with 30mm Mk44 Bushmaster-II Canon.
SMASH configurations incorporate advanced features as remote operation, built-in electro-optic sensor system and/or separate electro-optic fire control system for autonomous operation, day and night operation, stabilized turret, automatic target tracking (detect, track and fire on the move) and ballistic computation.
SMASH System has a stabilized turret which enables the line-of-sight of the gun to be aimed at the target at all times. Due to the stabilization feature, the system can perform precise firings against stationary or moving targets while the platform is on-the-move.
System can be operated remotely by using the remote gun control unit and hence provides gunner protection against counter fire. Besides, SMASH System is capable of firing 200 rounds per minute with its dual feed 30mm automatic cannon.
SMASH incorporates a separately stabilized electroptical suit which can move in elevation and azimuth axes relative to gun. This ensures effective firing at long distances by enabling line-of-sight stay on the target at all times, even during the firing where ballistic correction is applied to the gun. The separately stabilized electroptical sight also enables surveillance and target tracking without aiming the gun to the target.
