Totally new and digital Fire Control System, primarily designed for the Light / Medium MBTs where the main design criterion is to keep the MBT in battle to the maximum extent, provides perfect day and night target engagement thanks to the superior image quality of Gunner’s and Commander’s Periscopes as well as accurate stabilization, target ranging and aiming with high accuracy.
Fire Control System is actually comprised of two independent, superior performance Sighting Systems packed with the same sub-units and assemblies to increase logistic support and decrease spare part reserve levels and maintenance costs. Each Sighting System includes a high resolution thermal camera, day camera and eye-safe laser range finder alongside with stabilized head mirror.
The thermal cameras of the Fire Control System with novel image processing algorithms provide longer range target engagement on extreme weather and mission conditions. This distinguishing property that most of the modern MBTs do not have grants “see before seen” philosophy.
Furthermore, 3-5µm or 8-12µm wavelength solution is available on the same volume without changing the mechanical or electrical structure, depending on customer requirements for Gunner’s Periscope and Commander’s Periscope.

LASER WARNING SYSTEM
SITUATIONAL AWARENESS 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.
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.
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.

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.
INS gives position information in geographic coordinate system, military grid reference system (MGRS) or UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) according to the user selection.
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.
