n Gaza border, are installed remote weapons stations (female only units), which help to prevent terrorist attacks.
"Deployed along the border Samson remote controlled weapon stations mounting machine guns and Spike and Lahat laser-guided missiles are guarding this hot border line. The systems' role was described as 'instrumental' in Israeli efforts to eliminate Hamas operatives approaching the border. Sentry-Tech units are remotely operated from the operational command center by observers that are monitoring the border line.
As targets are detected and within range of weapon stations positions, the weapons fire towards the designated targets.
The first prototype Sentry-Tech system was tested in 2004. After a successful evaluation, Rafael was contracted to build multiple systems to equip the Gaza border line. Sentry-Tech utilizes Rafael's Mini-Samson weapon station installed in fixed installation in Pillboxes or relocateable tower systems. Each unit mounts a 7,62 or 0.5" machine gun, shielded from enemy fire and the elements by an environmentally protective bulletproof canopy. The system is primarily operated by remote control but can also be operated manually when required. The system mounts the observation equipment and communications link to the sector's operations command center. Sentry-Tech empowers the observers with precision attack lethality, dramatically increases their ability to close kill chains, engaging targets immediately as they are exposed. In addition to the use of direct fire machine guns, observers can also employ precision guided missiles, such as Spike LR optically guided missiles and Lahat laser guided weapons.
