FNSS is proud to introduce the global unveiling of the PARS IV NGWAV 8X8 Armoured Fighting Vehicle with with Teber-35 TEBER-30/35 RCT Remotely Operated Turret (UKK Uzaktan Komutali Kule). The PARS (Turkish for Anatolian leopard) is an amphibious armoured combat vehicle family with 4×4, 6×6 and 8×8 versions, produced by FNSS Defence Systems of Turkey. The PARS IV 8×8 New Generation Wheeled Armoured Vehicle (NGWAV) has been renewed in order to adapt to different combat environments, and has been updated to accommodate constantly developing technologies and to offer its users tactical advantages on the battlefield. The vehicle is developed to adapt to today and future hybrid warfare conditions that bring together symmetric and asymmetric threats. The vehicle combines user ergonomics with protection and high mobility.
The PARS IV 8×8 NG-WAV offers a combination of the highest mobility and protection of the PARS family and the ability to engage the evolving threats of the modern battlefield. The PARS IV 8×8 superior mobility is due to its power unit, to the balanced load distribution and to the fully independent, height-adjustable, hydropneumatics suspensions designed to support every mission. Thanks to the all-wheel steering system, the vehicle can turn in a radius as long as its length and can easily manoeuvre in urban areas. The modularThe two-man driver’s front cabin of the PARS IV 8×8, allows to operate day and night in all terrain and weather conditions, and provides more than 180°of visibility and a high level of driving safety under armour. Panoramic periscopes at the front of the vehicle, as well as driving and thermal cameras at the front and rear, provide high situational awareness to the driver and commander.
The TEBER-30/35 RCT is a remote controlled turret designed to be installed on wheeled and tracked armoured vehicles and equipped with a medium calibre automatic cannon, an advanced target detection and a fire control system. Unlike conventional turrets, remote controlled turrets do not have any basket structure and thus the extra available interior space provides a significant advantage to the user. The turret is equipped with electro-optic sights that can rotate independently from the turret and have two-axis independent stabilisation for the commander and the gunner. The commander’s panoramic sight can rotate 360° continuously on the traverse axis. Sight systems include a long- or midwave thermal imager, wide and narrow angle day sensors and a laser range finder.
The gun turret drive system is electrical, with two-axis stabilisation ensuring high accuracy even when firing on the move. The turret can rotate seamlessly on the 360°, the elevation arc being from -10° to +45*, angular speed being over 60°/ second. The TEBER-30/35 RCT is equipped with the Mk44 30 mm/40 mm dual-feed automatic cannon with 200 ready-to-fire rounds and has a maximum cyclic rate of fire 200 rounds/minute. The TEBER-30/35 RCT can also be equipped with the 35 mm/50 mm Bushmaster III dual-feed automatic cannon if required by the user. Two different types of ammunition loaded in the double-compartment ammunition box ensure that targets of various types can be neutralised in the most effective way. The coaxial MG consists of an electrically operated 7.62 mm chain gun or a gas operated 7.62 mm machine gun.
