The
VBCI’s adaptation to FELIN gives the combatants the possibility
to easily reload the batteries of their systems and a better preparation
of their disembarkation as it allows the use of the FELIN communications
system within the VBCI. It demonstrates the adaptability of FELIN since
it had already been installed on Vehicules de l’Avant Blindé
(VAB) for the deployment of FELIN in Afghanistan. |
