The
WOLF FSV is designed to provide support to other types of military units
and at the same time it can independantly counter ground targets, aircrafts
and ships. The combination of excellent performance of the Cockerill CT-CV
105 mm turret system with superior mobility and reliability of the Patria
AMV which is proven in combat provide an effective weapon against a broad
spectrum of threats on the moderne battlefield. Elevating to +42° this weapon delivers exceptional engagement capability in complex terrain, an indirect-fire HE capability to 10km range, and the GLATGM permits heavy armour to be defeated at ranges in excess of 5 km. The main gun is employed using a high performance, digital, fully-stabilised, day/night weapon control system. Turret weight is kept low through the use of a bustle-mounted autoloader, which permits a two-person crew. The
CT-CV turret is fully stabilized with effectively hitting moving targets
while on the move. The turret is also equipped with latest generation
day-night observation system and multi target designation process (Hunter-Killer
capability). The CT-CV provides also a crew protection up to Level 4 (STANAG
4569) with add-on armour and protection against NBC contamination. |
