10 NEXT GENERATION LIGHT/MEDIUM MAIN BATTLE TANK UPGRADE SOLUTIONS LASER WARNING SYSTEM Laser Warning System is a state-of-the-art threat warning system to detect, classify, identify and give warning of laser threats aiming on the platform. Laser Warning System can detect and classify any laser source directed to Light / Medium MBT and warn the commander/gunner. Laser Warning System is designed to detect almost all of types of the laser threats available in the world military inventory. Laser Range Finders (LRF), Laser Designators (LD) and Laser Beam Riders (LBR) threats operating on various optical bands can be detected by the system. Laser Warning System is closely integrated to the Fire Control System, so that the Commander s and/ or Gunner s Periscopes together with the main/ secondary weapon shall automatically slew to the threat direction detected by the Laser Warning System, and enable the gunner and/or commander to immediately engage on the hostile force. Fast Response Time High Sensitivity at Low False Alarm Rate (FAR) High Probability of Detection (POD) High Dynamic Range Rejection of Non-Threat Signals Rejection of Reflected Signals Hardware & Software Blanking Threat Wavelength Detection (Band I, Band II, Band III) High Resolution Threat Direction of Arrival (DOA) Detection Threat Classification (LRF, LD, LBR) Detection of Both Pulsed and CW Modulated LBR Types Threat Identification Threat Tracking (via Platform Attitude Info) Multiple Simultaneous Threat Detection and Tracking Threat Prioritization SITUATIONAL AWARENESS SYSTEM Situational Awareness System is a compact, high performance 360 situational awareness system, designed for Light / Medium MBTs. Situational Awareness System provides close range situational awareness to the MBT under severe weather and harsh battlefield conditions at day and night. 360 Panoramic view based on IR/TV Video Display of Camera Images Individually Full Screen Image Display from Specified Camera Displaying all the Camera Images Adjacently Covering 360 View Full Integration with Fire Control System and Remote Weapon Station Necessary Infrastructure for Motion Detection and Crew Warning In the case of threat detection, Situational Awareness Systems warns the user and automatically or manually steers the Remote Weapon Station and/or Fire Control System to the threat direction.

11 INERTIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM (INS) Velocity (north, east, down), position (grid or geodetic) and attitude (roll, pitch, heading) of the Light / Medium MBT can be continuously calculated using the acceleration and angular rate information from the inertial measurement system. With the capability of close integration with C4I/BMS, INS assists the crew to accurately accomplish movement planning and route analysis on battlefield environment. This tactical advantage brings high operational flexibility by combining the navigation data with the digital map. In addition, the integration of INS with Fire Control System improves the real-time calibration of the Fire Control System s sensors that are used in stabilization. This feature is an essential attribution since real time gyro drift compensation is made automatically and accurate dynamic lead is obtained which leads enhanced stabilization accuracy. Besides, integration with FCS by using the range information of target provides accurate coordinates of the threat for indirect fire purposes. The aforementioned systems can be integrated to the Light / Medium Main Battle Tanks in full-configuration or separately upon customer requirements. ASELSAN provides system performance guarantee after integration of all systems keeping the MBT platform operational with additional features. The Digital Turret built up by modern ASELSAN electronics and electro-optical systems spreads the Next Generation Light / Medium Main Battle Tank Upgrade Solution to the top position in the world. NEXT GENERATION LIGHT/MEDIUM MAIN BATTLE TANK UPGRADE SOLUTIONS INS gives position information in geographic coordinate system, military grid reference system (MGRS) or UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) according to the user selection. TURRET POWER DISTRIBUTION UNIT Turret Power Distribution Unit supplies electrical interface and the required controlled power between the Light / Medium MBT and the systems that are integrated on the MBT such as Fire Control System, Remote Weapon System and Command & Control System as well as the required controlled power for the system units. This intelligent Turret Power Distribution Unit contributes the efficiency of energy distribution as well as crew warning in case of a failure etc. The unit also enables the crew to view the MBT battery voltage level. Thanks to its spare power outputs, this unit shall also have a built in growth potential. Furthermore, Turret Power Distribution Unit is equipped with appropriate over-current protecting devices granting full battlefield performance in all condition, while providing all of necessary regulated power.
