Accessories
The Cockerill CSE 90LP turret incorporates a gunner's day sight as standard, with night vision (image intensifying or thermal imaging) as an option. The weapon is aimed at target using an electro-mechanical gun and turret drive system. This permits fast movement of gun and turret during normal operation, and excellent slow-speed target-tracking for precision engagement. A laser range finder and ballistic computer permit precise target engagement. The gunner's sight image may be displayed at the commander's station to permit full command and control. For its self-protection, smoke grenades launchers can be fitted to each side of the turret to create smoke screen or close defence.
