Capitalization[edit]

The company's web site writes PROTECTOR and KONGSBERG in all-caps, but this is just their style for marketing. Other sources spell these names in normal case. —Michael Z. 2006-11-12 20:04 Z

Article name[edit]

I took the liberty of renaming the page so the M-number came first. The M-number was assigned by the US, and it is common practice with US naming conventions to list the M-number first, followed by the given name. IE M1 Garand, M2 Browning machine gun, M1 Abrams, M2 Bradley, etc. The majority (all?) of wiki-articles with an M-number in their name have the M-number followed by the common name. Kongsberg markets the system as just 'Protector', and lists it as Protector M151 only as shorthand for "Protector in M151 configuration". Kongsberg's own sales brochure clarifies this, and lists it as the M151 Protector throughout. Most US military publications also list it as the M151 Protector, or M151 remote weapons station (or something to that effect). - Jonathon A H (talk) 17:39, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Moving to Protector (RWS) as USA is just one of several operators and not the developing country. BP OMowe (talk) 01:57, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
