Similarly to RGW 90 HH, the launcher in question can act against targets at distances of up to or meters. A fire control system is required in the latter case, however. The launcher in question has been integrated with a programmable warhead. It may be used against infantry, light vehicles and fortified structures. Two modes are available - on-impact or programmable detonation airburst , at distances of and 1, meters respectively.
It is recommended that Dynahawk fire control system is used to utilize the full potential that the launcher offers, as Dynahawk is capable of cooperating with programmable munitions. The projectile uses two modes and both are destined for anti-structure use. In the former mode used to create passages in the walls, the primary and secondary charges are detonated one after the other, with a short delay, creating a large hole in the wall, even if it is made out of thick ferroconcrete.
This variant weighs 10 kilograms and can be employed effectively at distances ranging from 10 to meters. Training variants of RGW are also available, along with two versions with special-purpose projectiles. Both versions offer a range of 1, meters. The manufacturer's representatives emphasize the easiness of use for the RGW system, as it does not require any extra special equipment. The grenade launcher has been fitted with ergonomic pistol grips and safety devices.
According to the concept of use, defined for the single-use launchers, the system can be provided to all troops in the given unit, not solely to dedicated grenade-launcher operators. The weapon is prepared for launch in a few seconds, right before employment. Then it is disposed of. The only element that is reusable comes in a form of the more advanced, optional targeting systems. Training and educational systems are also offered, with the training ones coming in full-sized and sub-calibre variants, along with a range of simulators.
The launcher can be employed against a broad spectrum of threats, ERA-protected vehicles included. The representatives of the manufacturer stress the fact that gradual transfer of know-how to Poland can take place, up to the point when completely sovereign manufacturing capacity is locally established.
DND stresses that it has gathered rich experience in technology transfer programmes. The RGW programme itself has been a result of international cooperation. DND has also transferred the full manufacturing of the Panzerfaust 3 to Japan, back in the s. A similar scheme could be adopted in case of the proposal for Poland, concerning the single-use RGW launchers.
DND has been present on the Polish market for several years now. This gave Dynamit Nobel Defence an insight into the Polish market, thus the company could rapidly start to share the technology within the scope of a programme that has been already defined. The representatives of DND stress the fact that implementation of the Grot programme could reinforce the defence and industrial cooperation between Germany and Poland. Alongside the establishment of complete manufacturing capacity and domestic support system, the Polish defence industry could also potentially become a part of a supply chain for other users.

RGW 90 offers a few different warhead options in a larger 90 mm caliber. Which is fine. Those tend to be equipped with lots of composite and reactive armor these days. The 5. The fire control sight allows the marksman to determine the distance to the target and to select the ignition mode.
The integrated ballistic computer calculates the elevation and lead angle using the target data. The electronic target mark is then shown automatically on the micro-display.
Since the name of Hensoldt has stood for combat-proven, reliable and precise targeting and observation optics for handguns right up to heavy weapon systems. September 29,
