SWARM

The SWARM Remote Weapon System (Stabilised Weapon And Reconnaissance Mount) is a fully armored remote weapon system designed and built by the Thales Group in Glasgow, Scotland. The SWARM system consists of two main assemblies: the Gun Processing and Interface Unit (GPIU), which is operated inside the vehicle, and the external Weapon and Sensor Platform (WASP). It can fire a variety of weapons, and utilize multiple sensors. On the US Marine Corps' Gladiator Tactical Unmanned Ground Vehicle (TUGV), it is equipped with a 7.62 mm M240 and day/night sensors.

    As night returns bringing doubts
    That swarm around the sleeper’s head
    But are fended off with clubs and knives ...

    without a fire?

    I looked at nine: the swarm was turned to rock
    In every lifelike posture of the swarm,
    Transfixed on mountain slopes almost erect.
