The MBT Revolution at a glance:

Protection concept: Comprehensive protection from all current threats,

including RPG 7, landmines, IEDs, bomblets, large-calibre KE ammunition and EO-, IR- and laser-guided weapons.

Digital turret core system: Fully integrated network capabilities, fully interoperable subsystems and components, with significantly shorter reaction times and smaller additional space requirements.

Fire control technology: An improved first round hit probability, especially when firing on the move.

New commander's periscope: Night fighting and observation capabilities, improved range and higher elevation angles (up to 70°).

Situational awareness system: 360° day and night near-field view of the vehicle's immediate surroundings, with automatic alarm and target-tracking functions.

Command and control system: New capabilities include real-time blue force tracking and red force visualization, augmented reality and MIP-DEM-based interoperability.

Commander's brake: A revolutionary innovation that enables the commander to stop the tank in critical situations.

Secondary armament: State-of-the-art remote control weapon station, fully stabilized and flexibly configurable.

Ammunition: The world's first temperature-independent KE tank round and the latest generation of programmable HE ammunition.

Climate control: High performance air conditioning coupled with a new insulation concept in the fighting compartment, improved ventilation and thermal protection for the magazine.

Auxiliary power unit: High electric power generation (17 kW) and optimized intelligent energy balance of the vehicle.

External two-way communications system: Enables the crew to communicate with people outside of the tank.

Embedded logistics: Provides comprehensive monitoring of vehicle- and weapon system-relevant logistical data; linked with a central logistical information and evaluation system.

Weight class: MLC 70
