The Light Medium Turret 105 millimetre gun is basically an upgrade on the 76 millimetre gun of the Rooikat Armoured Car currently in service with the South African National Defence Force. Its characteristic features remain unchanged.

Development of the LMT-105 turret was completed in 1996. Designed for installation on a wide variety of tracked and wheeled AFV chassis with platform weights from 12,000 kg such as the BAE Systems Global Combat Systems OMC Rooikat 105, General Dynamics Santa Bárbara/Steyr-Daimler-Puch ASCOD, BAE Systems Global Combat Systems Hägglunds CV90, BAE Systems Global Combat Systems Warrior and the General Dynamics MOWAG Piranha (10 × 10), the 6,500 kg LMT-105 turret can also be used to retrofit older armoured vehicle types such as the M41 light tank.
