Rheinmetall announced at Eurosatory 2016 an updated version of the 35 mm Oerlikon Revolver Gun mounting that integrates the sensor/tracking package directly onto the top of its turret.

The gun mounting makes up one of the components of the company's Skyshield Air Defence System (ADS).

The package is comprised of an IEEE X-band (NATO I/J-band) tracking radar and electro-optic sensor suite, in addition to electronic warfare components. The package is linked directly to the gun mounting's fire control computer, giving the system a localised surveillance and target engagement capability.

Each gun mounting can be controlled from a higher-echelon command post, or from a local manned fire control unit (FCU) to which up to eight guns can be connected.

General Dynamics European Land Systems-Santa Barbara Sistemas is exhibiting the artillery observation variant of their Pizarro infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) family at Eurosatory 2016.

The Pizarro forward observation vehicle (FOV) has a crew of five comprising the commander and gunner in the two-person turret, a driver, and two observers in the rear, one of whom can be used in the dismounted role with a link to the platform.

The mast mounted sensor pod is in the left rear of the vehicle and includes a day camera, thermal camera, and a laser rangefinder to enable targets to be identified under almost all types of weather conditions.

Target information is then passed onto to the artillery fire co-ordination centre to enable the target to be rapidly engaged.

When not required the sensor pod is retracted into the hull under full armour protection.

An auxiliary power unit is mounted externally on the hull on the left side at the rear, which enables all of the vehicle's key subsystems to be operated with the main engine switched off.

The turret retains its Mauser 30 mm MK 30-2 dual feed cannon and 7.62 mm co-axial machine gun (MG).

A total of 144 Pizarro vehicles were delivered under the first contract for the Spanish Army with 121 configured as IFVs and 23 as command and control (C2) platforms.

The second contract was originally for 190 units in four versions but this was subsequently reduced to 120 units in three versions - comprising 83 IFVs, 36 combat engineer platforms, and one FOV vehicle.

Under current plans it is not expected that additional Pizarro FOVs will be procured.

This role will eventually be taken over by a dedicated FOV based on the Swiss General Dynamics European Land Systems MOWAG 8x8 Piranha 5 vehicle.

Spain has already ordered four Piranha 5 platforms for trials and these are due to be delivered in late-2017.

Renault Trucks Defense is exhibiting its latest Vehicule de l'Avante Blinde (VAB) Mk 3 fitted with the Belgian CMI Defence CSE 90LP two-person turret armed with a low pressure 90 mm gun, 7.62 mm co-axial machine gun (MG) and a roof-mounted MG at Eurosatory 2016.

The CSE 90LP is the most powerful weapon system to have been installed on the VAB Mk 3 thus far.

Previous weapon systems installed for firing trials have included the South African TRT-30 armed with a Russian 30 mm 2A42 dual-feed cannon and 7.62 mm co-axial MG.

The company has developed an amphibious version of the VAB Mk 3 with additional buoyancy aids and this is propelled through the water by two propellers mounted externally on either side at the rear.

The VAB Mk 3 Electer parallel hybrid-drive demonstrator is also being shown at the exhibition. Built under contract to the DGA, this vehicle has completed more than 5,000 km of trials over different terrain conditions in the past two years.

According to Renault Trucks Defense, the Electer has several modes of operation, which include hybrid mode for reduced fuel consumption; stealth mode for silent running with the main diesel engine switched off; booster mode for rapid acceleration when required; and silent watch mode with the auxiliary power unit charging the vehicle's batteries.

The VAB Mk 3 is powered by a MD7 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel developing 340 hp coupled to an automatic transmission, which provides a maximum road speed of 105 km/h.

The vehicle has a typical gross vehicle weight of 20 tonnes and the baseline armoured personnel carrier version can accommodate a crew of two and carry 10 dismounts. In the infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) configuration, it has a crew of three and carries seven dismounts.

Standard equipment includes the "Battlenet Inside" electronic vehicle architecture, a central tyre inflation system, air conditioning and heating, run-flat tyres, and a 300 A alternator.

Eurosatory 2016: Rheinmetall lifts the lid on new 130 mm tank gun
Christopher F Foss, Paris - IHS Jane's International Defence Review
16 June 2016

Rheinmetall's new 130 mm smoothbore gun may be a suitable armament for future MBTs. Source: Rheinmetall
Rheinmetall Weapon and Munition has unveiled a new 130 mm smoothbore tank gun at Eurosatory 2016 in Paris.

Development of the gun commenced in 2015, with the company using internal funding for the project. The first technical demonstrator (TD) was completed in May 2016.

After Eurosatory the gun will commence its firing trials from a static stand at Rheinmetall's proving ground, where its performance will be compared to the extensive simulation work already carried out on the weapon and its ammunition.

The new 130 mm smoothbore gun is an L/51 weapon and has a vertical sliding breech mechanism, increased chamber volume, and is chrome lined. However, it is not fitted with a muzzle brake.

Only scant details of the 130 mm L/51 tank gun have been released by Rheinmetall, with the company quoting an all-up weight of 3,000 kg, which includes the recoil system - the barrel alone is stated as weighing 1,400 kg.

The example shown at Eurosatory 2016 is fitted with a thermal sleeve and muzzle reference system (MRS) and these will be fitted for the upcoming firing trials. The MRS enables the weapon to be bore sighted on a more regular basis and without the crew needing to leave the platform.

In parallel with the new gun, Rheinmetall is developing a new generation armour-piercing fin-stabilised discarding sabot (APFSDS) round, which will feature a semi-combustible cartridge case, new propellant, and a new advanced long rod tungsten penetrator.

This will be followed by new 130 mm high-explosive air-bursting munition (HE ABM) that will have a number of fuze options depending on the target.

This HE ABM round will leverage from technology from the 120 mm DM11 HE ABM, currently in production for the home and export markets for use with Rheinmetall's 120 mm L/44 and L/55 smoothbore tank guns installed on Leopard 2 main battle tanks (MBTs).

Red Arrow strikes [ES2016D4]
CHRISTOPHER F FOSS
16 June 2016
Red-Arrow-strikes-_ES2016D4_.jpg

Following its first showing at the Zhuhai Air Show less than two years ago, the China North Industries Corporation (Norinco) (Hall 5, Stand H521) is launching its latest Red Arrow 12 multipurpose missile, also referred to as the Hongjian-12 (HJ-12), on the international market here at Eurosatory.

The shoulder-launched one-man portable system consists of the missile in its launch tube and the clip-on target acquisition module. It features a nose-mounted imaging infrared seeker for all-weather target engagement, but can be fitted with a TV warhead. The missile has both direct fire and top attack capabilities. It has a soft launch capability that allows it to be launched from inside buildings. The complete system weighs 22kg.

Red Arrow 12 has a maximum range of 4,000m and is fitted with a tandem high-explosive anti-tank warhead that is claimed will penetrate up to 1,100mm of rolled homogenous armour protected with explosive reactive armour.

In many respects the Red Arrow 12 is very similar to the now widely deployed US Raytheon/Lockheed Martin FGM-148 Javelin missile.

Sharper eyes for Apache [ES2016D4]

16 June 2016
Sharper-eyes-for-Apache-_ES2016D4_.jpg

Since the Boeing AH-64 Apache’s introduction into service in the mid-1980s, the attack helicopter’s sensor suite has undergone a number of improvements, the most significant of which was the M-TADS/PNVS (modernised target acquisition and designation system/pilot night vision system, also known as Arrowhead) fielded from 2005.

Lockheed Martin (Hall 6, Stand K201) is now introducing another major change to the system that not only places the main constituents into a new High Reliability Turret installation, but also replaces the daylight sensor group with a more capable system called M-DSA (modernised day sensor assembly). The previous DSA was a monochrome unit with two selectable fields of view (4° and 0.9°).

M-DSA not only sports full-colour high-definition capability, but adds a near-infrared (NIR) channel for low light conditions.

The system also offers three fields of view: medium (9.32°), narrow (2.5°) and ultra-narrow (0.64°). The medium and narrow fields are identical to those offered by the accompanying M-NSA (modernised night sensor assembly), allowing a blending of imagery between the two systems.

Technology from Lockheed Martin’s Sniper XR targeting pod has been incorporated, the ‘XR’ algorithm suite providing longer-range image resolution, and the ability to present a picture-in- picture display of detailed imagery.

Other features of the M-DSA are the addition of an inertial measurement unit to improve stability, and therefore effective range, a laser pointer marker, and adoption of an eye-safe laser to allow both operations and training to be undertaken in environments previously denied to the Apache for laser use. At the same time, the system has been made more maintainable, with the ability to perform some tasks on the flightline. This results in reduced costs and increased availability.

M-DSA is being introduced in two phases, the first replacing the laser rangefinder/designator with the eye-safe system. This was contracted in November 2010, and first flew at Redstone Arsenal in February 2014. The second phase – covering NIR, colour and laser pointer – was contracted in December 2015.

While the US Army is the initial recipient, the M-DSA is also available for export: the first confirmed customer is Qatar, which signed a contract to buy 24 AH-64Es last week.

Defeat-landmines-and-IEDs-_ES2016D4_.jpg

Two leading route-clearance companies from the USA have won an order to provide the Afghan National Army with mine clearance and counter-IED capabilities.

Critical Solutions International (CSI) (Hall 5, Stand E607), in partnership with Humanistic Robotics Inc (HRI), will supply 464 mine rollers, along with training in operation and maintenance. According to CSI, the contract will be managed through the US Army Tank and Automotive Command (TACOM) Non-Standard Equipment Office.

“The HRI roller has been proven in the field for commercial and peacekeeping missions in Africa and the Middle East, and is the most user-friendly and sustainable system on the market,” said CSI chief executive Patrick Callahan.

The partnership between CSI and HRI aims to offer US and international customers a total route-clearance package. Besides the HRI roller, CSI’s counter-IED and mine-clearance technologies include the South African-designed, purpose-built Husky, considered the world’s foremost route-clearance vehicle. It is fielded by militaries that include Australia, Canada, Kenya, Iraq, Spain, South Africa and Turkey.

According to Samuel Reeves, co-founder and CEO of HRI, the partnership reflects the need for a multifaceted, multi-technology approach for defeating landmines and IEDs. “It allows us to combine our individual company capabilities to increase survivability and save lives.”

Double up [ES2016D4]
SHAUN CONNORS
16 June 2016
Double-up-_ES2016D4_.jpg

Tatra (External Stand D320) is displaying two new T815-7 Force family tactical truck models.

Adding crew-cab options to the T815-7 Force family for the first time, the first example is fitted with a four-door soft-skin cab, the second with a four-door armoured cab. Both cabs are fitted with air-conditioning and, if required, NBC filtration.

The softskin cab seats up to six and is forward tilting for maintenance purposes. The armoured cab seats up to five on blast-attenuating seats.

Developed in conjunction with Plasan of Israel as part of a range of cabs for the T815-7 Force family, protection levels are certified according to the latest STANAG 4569 and AEP-55. Motive power in both cases is provided by a 300kW Tatra T3C-928.90 V-8 12.7-litre air-cooled diesel, which meets EURO 3 emissions requirements without electronic engine management. This is mated to Tatra’s 14TS2109 semiautomatic (with manual mode) 14F/2R gearbox and 2.30 TRS two-speed transfer case.

As with all models, driveline options including EURO 4 or 5 emissions-compliant Tatra air-cooled engines, Cummins water-cooled engines and Allison fully automatic transmissions are available.

The T815-7 Force family is based around Tatra’s tubular backbone-type chassis and swinging half-axle independent wheel suspension system.

The hub-reduction axles are rated at 9,000kg (steer-drive) and 10,000kg (drive), and suspension is of the air-bellows type. Individual suspension units are located between the half-axles and ladder frame and as high and close to the chassis centreline as possible, offering additional protection from damage when operating off-road, and minimising bellow surface area even at maximum axle articulation.

Design weight rating of these chassis is 38,000kg, allowing for a chassis-cab payload of about 23,700kg with the four-door softskin cab fitted, and about 21,100kg with the four-door armoured cab fitted.

K-BATS simulates ballistic missiles [ES2016D4]
DAVID DONALD
16 June 2016
K-BATS-simulates-ballistic-missiles-_ES2016D4_.jpg

Hanwha Corporation (Hall 5, Stand K397) has brought its K-BATS ballistic aerial target system to Eurosatory for the first time. Launched from a canister, the vehicle replicates a ballistic missile and provides a target for operators of surface-to-air missile systems during trials.

With a range of 180km, the K-BATS vehicle is 4m long and has a body diameter of 0.6m.

It weighs around 1.5 tonnes. It has the ability to mimic several types of trajectory, and is guided throughout its flight by an inertial/GPS system. Telemetry equipment relays crucial data back to a control centre to warn if the target is veering off track, allowing correction updates, while an explosive command destruct function is incorporated in case an errant vehicle threatens lives or infrastructure.

K-BATS has been proven while acting as a target for Korean surface-to-air missile programmes. It can also be used to evaluate the performance of in-service systems such as the Patriot PAC-2 GEM/T and forthcoming PAC-3 systems.

Eurosatory 2016: Rheinmetall unveils Lynx tracked IFV
Peter Felstead, Paris - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
16 June 2016

Rheinmetall publicly unveiled its new Lynx tracked infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) for the first time at Eurosatory 2016 on 14 June. The concept for the vehicle, which was developed as a private venture, is to cover a wide variety of battlefield roles while "utilising proven technologies to deliver a compelling value proposition for our global customers", according to the company.

The vehicle shown was an IFV fitted with a Rheinmetall Lance turret armed with a stabilised, airburst-capable 35 mm cannon plus a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun and a dual anti-tank missile launcher, but Lynx is actually a modular family of tracked armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs) that can also be configured as armoured personnel carriers (APCs), repair and recovery vehicles, ambulances, reconnaissance vehicles, and command-and-control vehicles (with the latter two variants also sporting the Lance turret).

"Lynx features a modular-based vehicle platform with exchangeable mission role installation kits," said Ben Hudson, chief executive officer (CEO) of Rheinmetall Landsysteme and head of Rheinmetall's Vehicle Systems Division, at the unveiling ceremony. "That, as an example, allows an infantry fighting vehicle to be converted into an armoured personnel carrier and vice versa. This approach balances the benefits of modular vehicle platforms such as Boxer with the cost advantages of a traditional monocoque vehicle hull."

The IFV, moreover, comes in two versions: the KF31, as shown at Eurosatory, which weighs up to 38 tonnes and can accommodate six soldiers as well as the crew of three; and the KF41, which is slightly larger, weighs around 44 tonnes and can carry eight soldiers as well as the crew. Both versions can be configured for alternative roles.

The powerpacks for the KF31 and KF41 Lynx variants are said by Rheinmetall to develop 563 kW and 700+ kW respectively, giving top speeds greater than 65 km/h and 70 km/h.
