Weapon System Slinger
Slinger is an anti-drone weapon system developed by Electro Optic Systems (EOS) of Symonston.
Australian Capital Territory, Australia. It was introduced in May 2023. It consists of a remote controlled weapon station (RCWS) based on the EOS model R400 RCWS. The weapon used is a lightweight Bushmaster M230LF auto-cannon which is fully stabilised and fires a high explosive 30 x 113mm round with a proximity fuse. Sensors include: 'Echodyne' radar, laser rangefinder, thermal and visible light cameras, and wind sensor.
In September 2023 it was announced that 160 Slingers were to be provided to Ukraine by EOS for use in that country's defence during the ongoing invasion by Russia.
