Armored wheeled gun study.

An MBT equipped with an AI control & fire gear cogs system, an active protection system, a circular awareness & satellite assisted system, and served by a crew of two members (commander and pilot).

This 30 tons medium weight-class tank is designed for breakthrough, reconnaissance, flanking maneuver, infantry support thanks to its multi-purpose 120 mm gun turret and ammunition arrays.

The motorization is delivered by a powerful 1650 hp engine releasing a top speed of 90 km/h and 35 horses per ton.

The armor features an integrated composite body consisting of layers of ceramic and titanium alloy. The armor is modular and can be switched to upgrade protection.

A set of countermeasures protect the tank from threats:

  • An embedded stealth camouflage diminishes the optical, thermal, infrared, and radar signatures that help to conceal the MBT.
  • Grenade launchers can create a rapid smoke cover screen and hides the MBT from infrared light and the thermal viewer of enemies.
  • Deception is also part of the protection with the adjunction of an environment blending thermoptic coating making the vehicle near-invisible to the naked eye.
  • An electro-optical jammer assists in disrupting designators and laser telemeters. It can also automatically return fire by locating the source of the laser signal and pointing the main gun towards the enemy.

Offensive capabilities are assisted by a laser range finding to suppress any sort of hard & soft targets. Anti-tank guided missiles and high explosive rounds are the main weapons to treat classic targets. A set of alternative newer-generation tandem-warhead missiles 

The short-range defense relies on a coaxial mounted general-purpose machine gun. This complementary weapon can engage and destroy soft targets. 

Additionally, an oriented flamethrower system can literally burn the near surrounding in close/urban combat situations. An anti-personnel canister shot pod can also wipeout nearby infantry or light vehicles. 

Finally, a turrel-mounted anti-drone sentinel system enhances the MBT survivability.
