FNSS exhibits the PARS III 6×6 armoured fire support vehicle equipped with the TEBER-II 30/40 Remote Controlled Turret (RCT) at the DSA 2024 Exhibition in Malaysia. From May 6 to 9, FNSS welcomes visitors at stand number 2100C in Hall 2, situated within the Turkish pavilion at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Center. In addition to the TEBER-II 30/40 RCT, the vehicle can also be equipped with manned or remotely controlled turrets featuring a range of armaments. The vehicle can accommodate up to nine personnel together with their equipment are designed to ensure exceptional payload capacity and drive comfort. With a maximum combat weight of 25,000 kg, the PARS III 6×6 Armoured Fire Support Vehicle is powered by a diesel engine. Capable of reaching speeds of up to 100 km/h, the vehicle can manoeuvre on a 60% vertical slope and a 30% side slope, climb 0.7 meters high obstacles, and cross 1.75 meters wide trenches. Enhanced by a first and third axle steering system, it boasts the smallest turning radius in its class. The PARS III 6×6 Armoured Fire Support Vehicle is transportable by land, air (A400 M transport aircraft), sea, highways and railways.
The power pack architecture of the PARS III 6×6 vehicle, capable of being removed and installed in less than 60 minutes, represents a notable feature that provides users with ease of maintenance, repair, and engine replacement directly in the field. Thanks to its engine layout and balanced design, the vehicle maintains evenly distributed axle loads. This design feature facilitates smooth navigation, even on loose or soft ground, ensuring control at high speeds and short braking distances. Additionally, the central tire inflation system allows the driver to adjust tire pressures based on diverse terrain conditions. The fully independent hydropneumatic suspension system, offering the highest wheel travel in its class, provides the PARS III 6×6 Armoured Fire Support Vehicle with exceptional handling at across country or hard surface roads. Additional safety features, including the ability to lock the steering system on the third axle at high speeds, the ABS system, and the engine brake, further elevate the vehicle’s driving safety.
The vehicle can accommodate up to nine personnel together with their equipment are designed to ensure exceptional payload capacity and drive comfort. The hull of the PARS III 6×6 can be tailored to the desired level of protection thanks to its modular armour systems. Specifically, designed hull form, underbelly structure, base plates, and mine-protected seats provide enhanced protection against high-level of mine threats for the personnel. With a range of over 800 km, the PARS III 6×6 Armoured Fire Support Vehicle is equipped with fuel tanks featuring special precautions against explosions and punctures. Additionally, a spare fuel tank is located under the armour for emergency use. Run flats placed inside the wheels enable the vehicle to continue traveling even with flat tires. The air conditioning system integrated into the PARS III 6×6 offers significant advantages to its users. One notable distinction from its counterparts is its ability to maintain the vehicle’s indoor temperature at +25°C, even in tropical climates.
The TEBER-II 30/40 Remote Controlled Turret (RCT) is equipped with a 30mm dual-feed automatic cannon. The existing 30mm gun barrel can be replaced with a 40mm barrel, while preserving the main components and the stock. This adaptable weapon system option enables users to enhance firepower easily and as required. Additionally, a 7.62mm coaxial machine gun is mounted alongside the main gun. Various anti-tank missile systems can also be seamlessly integrated into the TEBER-II 30/40 RCT system. Two ready-to-fire anti-tank missiles are supported by a fire control system integrated into the turret. This capability enables the vehicle to effectively engage a wide range of threats at distances exceeding four kilometres. The turret is equipped with an independent remote-controlled weapon system (RCWS) that can adjust firing angles both upwards and downwards. The elevation angle of this system, which is compatible with either a 7.62mm or 5.56mm machine gun, is effective against threats positioned at elevated points (such as buildings, rooftops, etc.) in urban environments, as well as drones approaching from high angles. Additionally, this system can function as the commander’s independent sighting system for “hunter-killer” capabilities.
