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 delivers a range of highly effective rounds from bunker-busting
HE to APFSDS-T, HEAT-T, Smoke and Canister. These rounds 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 allows the COMMANDO to maintain its highly mobile characteristics.
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. Textron Systems’ Marine & Land Systems’ COMMANDO Select four-wheeled armoured personnel carriers offer an enhanced combination of lethality, survivability, mobility and sustainability. Exceptional crew protection is built into all COMMANDO Select vehicles, which are in use today by the Afghan National Army. Greater survivability, however, doesn’t mean sacrificing vehicle mobility. Rigorously tested and proven in the toughest environments, COMMANDO Select vehicles utilize a V-Hull with all systems protected under armor to deliver superior mine-blast protection while also providing unmatched on-road/off-road mobility. The 90mm Direct Fire Vehicle variant combines the full range of combat-tested COMMANDO Select vehicle capabilities with Cockerill’s tested 90mm turret for additional firepower and lethality. The Cockerill CSE 90LP turret, joined with the combat-proven COMMANDO armoured vehicle chassis, promises a great advance in terms of organic direct-fire capability for light armoured forces. The COMMANDO Select 90mm Direct Fire Vehicle is a cost-effective force multiplier that delivers flexible lethality together with high strategic mobility, tactical mobility, survivability and reliability. |
