With
the Evolution Kit, IBD now has introduced a new balanced
Survivability Concept for tanks that achieved unprecedented
levels of protection for legacy platforms. The focal point
of the Concept is the synergistic integration of the different
High-Tech solutions developed by the German Company IBD.
The different parts of the add-on protection kit for the
heavy platform - Leopard 2A4 - allow the rather old legacy
platform to be used with minimized risk in Urban - Missions
- situations with specifically high threat potential. The
high cost efficiency for the System is brought about the
application of the proven High-Tech AMAP technologies, in
add-on integration without major changes of the platform
itself. |

With
the introduction of the Survivability Concept for the
Leopard 2A4 Evolution, IBD has developed a general add-on
armor concept, applicable for any platform as an effective
and balanced high-tech solution. The intelligent synergistic
effects of the different AMAP-technologies provide the
best possible protection concept, considering also topics
as overall costs, lead times for upgrade without change
of the platform and added weight, to achieve balanced
and optimized solutions.
For the Leopard 2A4 Evolution, with a total weight of
only 60 tons - compared to 56.6 tons in the original configuration
- this mean that the platform is still providing a very
high tactical mobility in order to perform the necessary
tasks. Thereby it is possible to upgrade a legacy platform
with the AMAP-technologies and at the same time create
a new concept to meet the need for all-round protection
against the evolving threats.
