Spanien: ASCOD-Fahrzeugfamilie

[Berni88]

Natürlich - gegen russische auf jeden Fall! ;-)
Solange man zuerst schießt und die Seite oder das Heck treffen kann, wieso nicht!
Wenn man aber vorher vom Gegner aufgeklärt wird, ist bei den 30to eher mit schlechten Überlebenchancen zu rechnen.

Und NEIN wir sollten (bitte) keinen solchen "Panzer" kaufen!!!

INDRA hat neue Simulatoren für den "Pizarro" an das spanische Heer geliefert:

[Verweigerer]

Schauen alle gut aus. Auch der Light Tank eine Seite zuvor. Der hat schon seine Berechtigung und scheinbar erkennt man auch genug Absatzmärkte. Bernie88 sieht wohl Konkurrenz;-) Hoffentlich schaut man von Simmering auch mit Argusaugen nach Spanien;-)

Warum bis 2029 warten wegen der Kapazitäten? Da gehört einfach viel mehr Druck gemacht!

[Berni88]

Als Ersatz für unsere Pionier- und Bergepanzer auf Kürassier-Basis allemal.
Als "Kampfpanzer" nein! ;-)

Escribano unveils its new GMOS mortar turret

The GMOS weighs less than 1,850 kg, without weapon and ammunition, and as standard is armed with a 120 mm mortar, however an 81 mm weapon can also be installed. The mortar is stabilised in elevation and azimuth with a 1 mrad accuracy, which allows the GMOS to fire on the move when used in the direct fire mode. This is allowed by the optronic aiming suite, which is installed to the right of the mortar. Being Escribano fully involved in thermal sights and stabilised systems, this is mostly an in-house product and features a cooled Medium Wave IR 3rd generation camera with a 640 x 512 matrix with a 15 µm pitch and a x20 continuous zoom that provides a 1.83° x 1.47° narrow field of view and a 36° x 29° wide field of view. The daylight channel is based on a 1920 x 1080 pixels CMOS matrix, which continuous x20 zoom provides a 1.80° x 1.07° narrow field of view and a 38.13° x 21.38° wide field of view. Detection, recognition and identification ranges being respectively over 19.3 km, 11.8 km and 7.3 km with the thermal channel and over 14.3 km, 12.5 km and 10.4 km with the day channel, against the standard 2.3×2.3 metres NATO target. A laser rangefinder with a minimum measuring range of 50 metres and a maximum of 1,500 metres, working in the 1,500 nm band and with± 1 metre accuracy completes the optronic suite. As we can see the rangefinder has a range compatible with the use of a smoothbore mortar in direct fire, which range is limited. The onboard ballistic computer can obviously manage also indirect fire missions, which are the core business of the GMOS, and can receive target data from the C4I system, which is usually provided by the customer.

The GMOS is fitted with an autoloader that allows a maximum rate of fire of 10 rounds per minute, one every six seconds, while sustaimed rate of fire is 4 rounds per minute. The fire control computer permitting to fire them in the Multiple Round Simultaneous Impact (MRSI) mode; this allows a limited number of rounds, usually 4-5, to fall at the same instant on the same target exploiting different ballistic trajectories thanks to the considerable maximum elevation, 85°, minimum elevation being –5°; in this mode the terminal effect is increased, although it is not possible to fully exploit the system maximum range, which for the GMOS is around 10 km. No data are provided on protection level, however the turret seems designed to accept add-on armour kits to increase protection.

For self-protection, on top of the GMOS we find an Escribano ASPIS remotely controlled weapon station; this can be armed with a 7.62×51 mm machine gun, such as a conventional M240 or a Dillon M134D Gatling, the latter providing a much higher rate of fire. Fed from the right, the optronic package including an uncooled thermal imager and a daylight CMOS channel, respectively with a x3 discrete and a x30 continuous zoom, and with a 3.3 km laser rangefinder, is located on the left. This further adds to the situational awareness, allowing the commander and gunner to survey different sectors. The ASPIS weighs less than 100 kg without weapon and ammunition.

Escribano aims at providing its GMNOS turret not only on VACs in the mortar carrier configuration, but also on the Dragon 8×8, providing organic indirect short-range fire support to heavy and medium infantry units of the Ejercito de Tierra.

CONTRATO PARA SUMINISTRO DE VEHÍCULOS DE APOYO A CADENAS (VAC)

El Consejo de Ministros ha autorizado al Ministerio de Defensa la celebración de un contrato de suministro para dotar al Ejército de Tierra de un vehículo multipropósito moderno, en el marco del Programa de Vehículo de Apoyo a Cadenas (VAC), adquiriéndose en esta primera fase del Programa 394 vehículos, por un valor estimado de 1.953.719.008,57 euros.

El Vehículo de Apoyo a Cadenas, en sus distintas variantes de apoyo al combate y apoyo logístico sustituirá a los vehículos de Transporte Oruga Acorazado (TOA) en las misiones operativas y logísticas que estos venían realizando, aportando al Ejército de Tierra mejores capacidades de movilidad, protección y de potencia de fuego , complementando con ello a los carros de combate Leopard 2E y vehículos VCI Pizarro que integran las unidades acorazadas y mecanizadas o a los futuros nuevos sistemas que los sustituyan en los próximos 30 años.

Beachtliche Stückzahl!

[Doppeladler]

Ja - beachtliche Stückzahl und es ist Spanien auch einiges Wert! Der ASCOD VAC könnte das Vorbild für den ULAN Evo werden.
