The DD-M2-S1 is a Ukrainian electric trigger and solenoid for the 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine gun, designed to turn crew-served M2-family weapons into remotely fired payloads for combat modules, turrets, armored vehicles, and ground robots. DevDroid presents it as a domestic remote-fire component for safer operation without direct exposure at the weapon position, while Brave Inventors lists the unit at 1.6 kg with 24-28 V operating power and IP-54 protection.
In the 2014 Russia-Ukraine War, DevDroid identifies DD-M2-S1 as its Browning M2 remote-firing trigger for combat modules and turrets, while Ukrainian technology reporting describes DevDroid electric triggers being used on remote fire-control systems for ground robots, armored vehicles, fixed modules, and anti-aircraft turrets.
Role detailsThe DD-M2-S1 is a small actuator in a larger remote-fire chain: it physically trips the Browning M2 trigger when a combat module, turret, or robotic platform sends a firing command.
| Context | Source-backed detail | Reader note |
|---|---|---|
| Supported weapons | Brave Inventors lists Browning M2, M2HB, M2A1, Canik M2HB QCB, SAR 127 MT, FN M2HB QCB, and related modifications. | The catalog relationship links the broader M2-family heavy-machine-gun record rather than every named subvariant. |
| Installation role | dev.ua describes DevDroid electric triggers as the physical trigger element in remote weapon-control chains and says installation takes only minutes without changing the weapon structure. | The component matters because remote weapon stations still need a reliable mechanical actuator at the gun. |
| Platform contexts | dev.ua lists ground robotic complexes, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, armored combat vehicles, stationary combat modules, and anti-aircraft turrets as contexts for DevDroid electric triggers. | Those contexts are broader than this single M2 trigger, so they are treated as product-family context rather than separate weapon relationships. |
| Storage and handling | Brave Inventors says the trigger is lubricated, wrapped in anti-corrosion paper, sealed in a zip-lock bag, and placed in a pouch for long-term storage. | This supports the support-equipment role: a small replaceable part intended for field integration and storage. |
DD-M2-S1 is the Browning M2-family member of DevDroid's electric-trigger line; the catalog also has DevDroid's separate 40 mm grenade-launcher trigger.
| Variant | Configuration | Designation notes |
|---|---|---|
 | 40 mm grenade-launcher trigger | DevDroid's adjacent electric-trigger model is built for Mk-19, AGL-53, and RDS-40 launcher integration rather than Browning M2-family heavy machine guns. Sources: DevDroid electric trigger report, Brave Inventors compatibility list |
DevDroid and Brave Inventors list DD-M2-S1 compatibility with the Browning M2 family, including the CANiK M2HB QCB.
