Comprehensive state-of-the-art airborne axial suite

Four decades ago FN Herstal embarked on a new product line. Rather than just produce machine guns, the company began to integrate them in pods or on pintles for use on a wide range of subsonic aircraft and helicopters.
FN Herstal fixed-forward firing solutions provide military forces with the highest level of operational capability.
Fully digital architecture, network communication or integrated sight system, are examples of cutting-edge technologies in constant development to meet challenging markets demands and expectations.
Over 4,500 FN Herstal airborne systems – either fixed-forward or crew served – equip a wide range of helicopters and subsonic aircraft across the world.

FN Herstal also integrates

  • Crew Served Weapon Solutions for Airborne Applications
  • Mounted Weapon Solutions for Land and Naval Applications
  • deFNder® Remote Weapon Stations
