Armament

30 mm turret-mounted gun
(Nexter 30M781).
The most accurate and lethal on the
market.
Combined with the RMS and slaved
by two HMSD-P+G Optimized
through a performant firing control
system (algorithms of target
trajectory prediction).
Reducing collateral damages and
fratricide firing risks.

Total Ammunition capacity:

- 450 rounds,
- Rate of fire: 750 rounds
per minute,
- Bursts: 5 / 10 / 25 bullets,
- Azimuth: +/- 90,
- Elevation: +28 / -25.
Optimized firing domain:
- ATG: up to 1,500 m,
- ATA: up to 1,000 m.

Rockets
Versatile 68 mm or 70 mm unguided
rocket system (change of rocket
type without change of any fixed
part on helicopter).
68 mm (up to 68 rockets):
- 2 inner launchers of 22 rockets,
- 2 outer launchers of 12 rockets.
70 mm (up to 52 rockets):
- 2 inner launchers of 19 rockets,
- 2 outer launchers of 7 rockets.

Firing Control for:

- rocket inner pods elevation,
- sub-ammunition ejection delays,
- rocket types.
Growth potential for laser guided
rockets.

Missiles
Air-to-Air Mistral Missile
- Off boresight capability,
- Multicell seeker,
- 2 x 2 missiles (outer launchers),
- Range = up to 6000 m.

- Range = 8000 m,
- Self designation or
Collaborative designation,
- Locked Before Launch (LOBL)
or Locked After Launch (LOAL).

Spike ER
- 2 x 4 missiles,
- Range = 8000 m,
- (Fire-and-follow) with
electro-optical or fiber optics
technologies.
