A remote weapon station (10) includes a firearm (12), which is able to fire ammunitions against a target. A remote control board or panel (14) is arranged at a distance from the firearm (12) and is configured to be activated by an operator, so as to control the firearm (12). An automatic target aiming system (32) is configured to provide the remote control board (14) with target aiming signals, which indicate the position of a target that has to be hit by the firearm (12). The remote control board (14) is assembled on a platform (18) which is adapted to be fitted to an aircraft. A support element (28) mounts on the platform (18) and supports the automatic target aiming system (32) and houses the adjustable firearm (12) in a controlled way by the remote control board (14) as a function of the target aiming signals.
