The CROWS is a enclosed turret capable of mounting a variety of medium and heavy weapons, such as M240B machine guns, M2 Browning heavy machine guns, Mk-19 automatic grenades launchers, and TOW anti-tank guided missiles.
It features thermal imaging and other optics and is capable of automatically scanning at long ranges. It is mounted on several vehicles such as the U.S. series of MRAPs and the upgraded version of the M1A2 Abrams tank.
It provides a protected position compared to conventional open-air turrets at the cost of close-range situational awareness.
