German technology firm Rheinmetall announced on Friday it had developed a new Lynx 120
mechanized fire support vehicle, known popularly as light tank.
Rheinmetall has just unveiled the latest addition to the company’s Lynx next generation combat
vehicle family.
The Düsseldorf based technology group has now developed a mechanized fire support variant
of the Lynx KF41 IFV.
Called the Lynx 120, this unique platform merges a tried and tested turret concept and
the proven 120 millimeter smoothbore cannon with the Lynx KF 41 chassis.
The new mechanized fire support variant of the Lynx offers the user outstanding fire
support and anti tank capabilities.
Thanks to a well balanced blend of lethality, protection, mobility and survivability, the
Lynx 120 is the perfect additional battlefield asset for Lynx platform users.
Featuring off the shelf components, meticulous engineering reduces the vehicle’s weight,
while customizable protection packages round out the package.
The vehicle architecture has been simplified and provides an open plug and play capability
for future upgrades, while complying with, and adapting to, NATO standards.
Because armed forces have to cope with future challenges such as high tech combat systems
at a time when conventional solutions and concepts have reached the limits of their
performance, the Lynx 120 is designed to deliver maximum lethality and firepower on tracks
paired with the latest defence technologies to keep adversaries at bay.
Utilizing the Lynx KF 41 modular chassis and a scalable large calibre turret concept, the
Lynx 120 is a high performance solution, harbouring vast growth potential and an assured overmatch
capability.
Just a couple of weeks ago, Rheinmetall Defence Australia unveiled a combat support vehicle
(CSV) variant of the Lynx: now there is the fire support version as well.
The basic idea behind the Lynx 120 design concept is to provide a combat system that
offers maximum operational performance in combination with logistic advantages within
a reasonable timeframe at a realistic cost.
The vehicle’s main armament is a Rheinmetall 120 millimeter smoothbore gun, derived from
the main armament of the Leopard 2.
It can fire state-of-the-art DM11 programmable high-explosive (HE) projectiles.
Its secondary armament includes a coaxial machine gun.
Moreover, the commander’s independent weapon station will feature an additional 50 calliber
machine gun.
A 360° camera system with automatic target detection and tracking reduces the crew’s
workload in all operational scenarios.
Special protection modules enable a mission specific response to ballistic threats, improvised
explosive devices, explosively formed penetrators and artillery fire, and can be quickly mounted
with limited tools.
Moreover, the Lynx 120 can be readily equipped with the proven, already fielded Rheinmetall
Active Defence System, or ADS, to defeat rocket propelled grenades and antitank missiles.
Additional armour packages and active protection systems can be provided on request.
