Meus prezados:
A nona versão da VBTP-MR será 8x8, para ter mais facilidade de trafegar por terrenos desconhecidos: é a Viatura de Reconhecimento, que substituirá a viatura Cascavel, sendo esta versão equipada com uma torre CMI Defense CT-CV, armada com um canhão de 105mm de nova geração que utiliza munição de alta pressão, com desempenho similar àquela de 120mm convencional.
CT-CV WEAPON SYSTEM (105mm)
The CT-CV weapon system is designed to meet the present and future requirements of modern armed forces for powerful weapons on light air transportable vehicles. A series of trials and stringent tests have been conducted successfully and final qualification is underway.
The turret and gun have been completely developed in-house by CMI thanks to its long standing experience in the design of systems specifically adapted for light and air deployable vehicles.
It is a two-man turret armed with the "CV" gun with low recoil force.
The system is compatible with all current NATO 105mm ammunition but the barrel has been designed to be able to fire ammunition with higher pressure as well as smart ammunition and guided missiles.
With a view to complying with specific requirements from customers, CMI Defence has designed a modular system able to integrate alternative sub-systems.
Particular attention has been paid to safety and comfort of the crew. The crew is seated low in the turret to take advantage of the vehicle hull protection. For safety reasons too, the crew and ammunition compartments are independent and separated by a firewall; in addition, crew protection is ensured thanks to a safety fuse plate above the ammunition rack.
The system is equipped with an automatic loader which contains 16 rounds in standard configuration and 12 rounds in air-deployable configuration.
The system is ready to fire immediately upon leaving the aircraft and is capable of panoramic observation after 15 minutes. The complete system can be prepared in about 4 hours, including the installation of a pintle-mount or RWS and the fitting of add-on armour.
The sighting system for both the gunner and the commander consists in two identical displays, one for day vision and the other one for night vision. The gunner's sight with laser range finder is stabilised for firing on the move and at moving targets. A panoramic sight gives the commander observation and hunter killer capabilities.
Back up devices are foreseen to allow continued use of the turret in case of loss of electrical power supply.
One of most striking features of this new system resides in its BLOS (Beyond Line of Sight) firing capabilities thanks to a 42° gun elevation, adapted to urban and mountainous warfare conditions as well as allowing firing against airborne targets.
The CT-CV is definitely the most advanced system available today to serve the needs of modern armed forces.
