context_page_description: Under the name fernbedienbare leichte Waffenstation the German defence company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann brands its family of remote weapon stations. Fernbedienbare leichte Waffenstation stands for "remotely operated, light weapon station".
context_section_description: In comparison to the FLW 100, the FLW 200 is heavier and has a slightly lower maximum elevation of only 70°. It is also heavier, weighing about 160 kilograms (350 lb) without weapons and ammunition. However unlike the smaller predecessor, the FLW 200 can be fitted with a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun, such as the M2 Browning, or with a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher. In case of the German Army, the 40 mm GMW from Heckler & Koch is the preferred grenade launcher, while the M2 HMG or the new Rheinmetall RMG.50 are used as machine guns.
  The FLW 200 can hold either 100 or 200 rounds of 12.7 mm ammunition, depending on the size of the ammo box. For the 40 mm launcher only a container for a total of 32 grenades is available. The heavier armament compared to the FLW 100 results in a combat range of up to 2,000 metres (6,600 ft).
  The optronics of the FLW 200 are located in a container mounted at the right side of the gun, whereas the ammo box is located on the left side. The optronics include a colour CCD camera with x10 magnification and a cooled thermal imager, unlike the one of the FLW 100. This increases identification range to 2 kilometres (1.2 mi). The FLW 200 can be fitted with six 76 mm Wegmann smoke grenade dischargers for additional self-protection of the vehicle.
  In 2013, the electrically driven Rheinmetall RMG.50 was being qualified for the FLW 200.
