The 40mm turret being added to the VBCI-2 provides much higher lethality to the French AFV. The turret is manned by a crew of two, seated in the spacious capsule, surrounded by the vehicle’s sensor displays that provide enhanced situational awareness in combat. The turret also mounts the 40mm CTC gun. Photo: Tamir Eshel, Defense-Update

Rheinmetall Defence unveiled the latest configuration of active protection systems, comprising a hybrid solution made of passive and active protection means, an infra-red smoke dispenser, skirts made of composite materials  and blast-based active protection module, triggered by four sets of sensors – two are covering the lower approach angles and two are covering the vehicle from side and top attacks. This specific solution is configured to match the CV-3095. Another solution displayed is matching the integrated armored cabin for trucks. Photo: Tamir Eshel, Defense-Update
rheinmetall_laser_725
Another innovative weapon system approach from Rheinmetall Defense. These four 20kW lasers modules are coupled into a multi-effector system emitting 80 kW, where all lasers operate in synch, to yield the higher overall emission. More laser emitters can be stacked to create a hundred kW class laser effector, utilizing an effective and proven beam concentration. These lasers have already demonstrated the capability to defeat mortar rounds at a distance of few kilometers, in two seconds, and multiple unmanned aerial vehicles at distances of 500 meters.
