The first phase of the Weapon Station REMAX tests were concluded with success.

In this phase, it was carried out the “No Firing Tests” by CAEx (Centro de Avaliações do Exército) on gravel track and APG track (“Aberdeen Proving Ground”). The next and last phase will be the “Firing Tests”, expected to happen in 2011. Once finished these tests, REMAX, developed by ARES under CTEx requirements, will be ready to be supplied to the Brazilian Army armored vehicles, becoming the first Weapon Station manufactured and developed in Brazil.
