Survivability

  • The design of the Falcon Turret places the crew below the turret ring and the reduction of turret volume leads to a reduced profile and silhouette so allowing higher protection levels to be achieved for the same mass of armor

  • Modular Multipurpose Armour Protection Packets. The Falcon mounts modular multipurpose protection packets which enables flexibility in protection levels to match the threat

  • The turret mounts signature management system and multi spectral screening smoke. It also features a laser-warning device that is designed to give the crew advance warning of a potential enemy engagement, thereby allowing evasive action to be taken and consequently increases survivability
