The Cockerill CSE 90LP is a low-weight two-person turret. Featuring the proven Cockerill 90mm low pressure gun (of which some 2,500 units have been sold) the turret provides a range of highly effective fires from HE to APFSDS-T and Canister. These fires are accurately delivered around the clock using electrically-powered gun drives and a night/day digital fire control system. The low weight of the Cockerill CSE 90LP turret permits the high mobility of the Ukroboronservice BTR-3E chassis to be fully utilized. Despite its high capability and advanced design, the Cockerill CSE 90LP turret is simple to use and ruggedly reliable in the field; a real soldier’s tool.

The Ukroboronservice BTR-3E is a 16 tonne 8x8 armoured personnel carrier. The vehicle features a rear mounted 300HP multi-fuel powerpack and a large frontal compartment for driver and crew. A mechanical gearbox is fitted as standard to reduce cost. Fabricated in steel armour with a Kevlar spall-liner fitted in the crew compartment, the vehicle offers protection against small arms fire, mines and (optionally) CBRN threats.

Designed for excellent tactical and strategic mobility, the Ukroboronservice BTR-3E is fully amphibious without preparation, using water-jet propulsion to swim at a speed of 10 km/h.

The combination of the Cockerill CSE 90LP turret with the Ukroboronservice BTR-3E offers the User:

- Excellent tactical and strategic mobility
- Highly effective organic fire-support by day and by night
- Broad range of tactical options (from counter-insurgency to conventional warfighting)
- Simplicity of use and support
- Rugged reliability in the field
- The confidence of proven, in-service, systems.
