Yikes. Thats a certain cook-off, and seems to extend beyond blow-out panels. Hydraulic fluid flambered BBQ.

Pretty sure the hydraulic turret drive for the Leo 2 is isolated along with the ammo.

The pump and reservoir are, but the hoses and actuators are naturally in the combat compartment.

Note the brake and conventional bore evacuator.

Does anyone have any pictures of the inside of the turret of the M1 ABV?

BAE Systems has received a contract from the Netherlands for the testing and verification of Active Protection Systems (APS) on its CV90 Infantry Fighting Vehicles.

 

“Iron Fist will give the Dutch Army a highly sophisticated defensive tool on its CV90s to counter threats and improve the safety of the vehicle and its crew,” said Tommy Gustafsson-Rask, managing director of Sweden-based BAE Systems Hägglunds. “Iron Fist is yet another example of the advanced technology BAE Systems and its partners can deliver to our customers.”

 

“During this test phase we will pre-qualify the active system against our threat specification, and together with our partners analyze system safety and prepare for its integration onto our CV9035NL vehicles,” said Hans de Goeij, project manager at the Netherlands Defence Materiel Organisation, Ministry of Defence. “We expect to make a decision on the next phase by early 2018. With Iron Fist, the Netherlands is expected to become the first NATO country with an Active Protection System of its kind on combat vehicles.”

A little bit.

A little bit.

 

 

 

Hmm, I'm just wondering how different the layout is due too the fact that the MICLIC system dominates the rear area of the turret. Thanks for the photo.
