VENOM 30 LR: from the Legendary Aircraft Gun to the
Basic Armament of the Future Ground and Naval Vehicles
The Samsun Yurt Savunma (SYS) group of companies in-
cluding CANiK, made a significant investment in the man-
ufacturing of low recoil 30x113mm cannons critical for
naval, land-based, and aerial platforms by acquiring the
well-established UK-based AEI Systems in 2022, a leading
company in the production of medium-caliber cannons.

VENOM 30 LR: An Ideal Solution for RCWS
The exceptional dimensions, weight and recoil of the guns
in this caliber, combined with the capabilities of new am-
munition technologies on the one hand and the miniatur-
ization and increased precision of remote weapon stations
on the other, make these weapons an ideal solution for ev-
er-shrinking remote-controlled weapon systems (RCWS).
