The EAGLE V sets the standard for protected wheeled vehicles in the weight class of up to 10 t. The cabin is equipped with a double V-shaped floor, which reduces the kinetic energy transfer of the explosion. The vehicle provides high payload, large internal capacity and flexible cargo space. Thanks to the unique De-Dion suspension system and high-mobility anti-slope stabilizers, the Eagle provides the crew a high level of survivability.

The Samson Mini RWS is a compact turret system. The RWS highly accurate target engagement and auto-tracking capabilities, combined with accurate stabilization mechanism, provide superior performance in adverse conditions. Samson Mini's open architecture allows to configure additional sensors and tactical C4I for effective battlefield response.

The Spike LR is a 4th generation lightweight, Fire & Forget Plus multi-purpose missile system with a range of up to 4 km. In addition to the basic Fire & Forget mode of operation, a fiber optic data communication link provides the gunner with the unique ability to attack hidden targets, update or switch to more valuable target after launch, achieve pinpoint precision, avoid friendly fire, perform surveillance, damage assessment and obtain real-time intelligence.
