For self-defence, the reconnaissance vehicle is equipped with a type of armament that can be operated under armour and NBC protection. Depending on vehicle configuration, the electrically controlled gun mount is designed to carry a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher (AGL), a .50 cal MG or a 7.62 cal MG. The sighting system consists of a periscope derived from the PERI Z 17 currently in service. As an option, the periscope can be upgraded with additional plug-in modules, such as an image intensifier.
