was the first fully ruggedized game-style controller offered to the military market.
With the foresight to recognize the form factor that would be most accessible to
today’s warfighters, MSI has continued to make the FMCU one of the most highly
configurable and powerful controllers available today. No other form factor can pack
as much functionality and control into a single, lightweight, hand-held OCU. As Lighting Options: Optional Safety Features:
a result, since 2008, MSI has designed and manufactured over 25 different FMCU
configurations - each carefully designed to specifically meet the needs of each • Illuminated Push Buttons with intensity control • Lanyard attachments
program, mission variant and operator requirements. • Standard Panel Lights with intensity control • Trigger guards
The ability to customize the FMCU through both hardware and software • Back Light Panel Options • Switch guards
configurability makes the FMCU one of the most powerful control solutions
• Ergonomic Dead Man switches
available. The warfighter has to do more with less and now his controller
can do the same. • Redundantly wired trigger options

• Emergency Shutoff Switch

An FMCU for every PLATFORM, every MISSION, every CONOPS.
