Moog Inc., a worldwide designer, manufacturer and systemsintegrator of high-performance precision motion and fluid controls and control systems, announced thelaunch of its latest innovation in turreted weapon systems, the Lightweight Reconfigurable Integrated-weaponsPlatform (LW RIwP), at the AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition in Washington, D.C.

The LW RIwP, thenewest member of the proven RIwP family of products, is purpose-built to meet the evolving requirements ofthe U.S. Army’s M-SHORAD Increment 4 program. LW RIwP is engineered with unmatched firepower, mobility,and commonality for light force formations.

The LW RIwP is designed to equip lighter vehicle platforms,such as the Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV), offering the maximumfirepower capacity in its class including the integration of a30mm cannon and multiple missile effectors. Its compact formfactor enables efficient airlift and sling load transport, enhancingstrategic mobility and operational flexibility across diversetheaters. With increased onboard ammunition capacity, the LW RIwP ensures extended engagement durationand mission endurance.

The LW RIwP maintains full commonality with Moog’s fielded Standard RIwP turret, currently deployed in MSHORAD formations. The lightweight design includes shared software architecture, training protocols, userinterfaces, and sustainment infrastructure, all of which streamlines integration and reduces lifecycle costs. Builton the trusted performance of Moog’s RIwP system, the lightweight variant delivers the same pinpointaccuracy and battlefield reliability proven in the U.S. Army’s SGT Stout and M-LIDS programs.

“The Lightweight RIwP is a direct response to the Army’s call for more agile, lethal, and interoperable solutionsfor light force formations,” said Mike Gruver, Group Senior Vice President, Moog.

“We’ve engineered a systemthat not only meets the mission, but elevates it—delivering more effectors, more ammo, and more flexibility in asmaller, transportable package,” he added.
