Developed by FNSS TEBER-II 30/40 Two Person Tower, is a medium-caliber turret designed for armored vehicles and can be integrated into wheeled and tracked platforms. The turret is particularly notable for its design that allows the commander and gunner to collaborate efficiently. In the two-person conventional configuration, the commander and gunner are in separate positions in the turret basket.
Advantages of the Two-Man Tower System
Two-man turrets are considered to provide significant advantages, especially when the vehicle commander is on duty. Although the height and weight of the turret are seen as disadvantages, when situational awareness and firepower effectiveness are considered, this design allows the commander to direct the gunner more effectively. In addition, the more effective communication line in the turret increases operational efficiency.
Technological Features and Performance
TEBER-II 30/40 The turret incorporates the latest technologies in areas such as propulsion system, fire control, survivability and firepower. The turret has the capacity to operate in all weather conditions and combat environments, day and night. It is designed so that both the gunner and the commander can control all functions of the turret. In addition, thanks to the manual backup system, the gunner can direct the weapon with the backup optical sight and open fire in emergency situations.
Fire Control and Sight Systems
The TEBER-II 30/40 Tower is equipped with a two-axis stabilized vision system and an advanced fire control system. The tower includes a long and medium wave thermal camera, a day camera and a laser rangefinder. The automatic target tracking system is integrated into this vision system and can track targets in real time. In addition, thanks to the independent power supply and intelligent power distribution system in the tower, the tower's drive, firing and vision systems can be operated for a while longer, independent of vehicle batteries in emergency situations.
Weapon Systems
TEBER-II 30/40 The turret is armed with a 100 mm caliber Mk30 dual-feed automatic cannon with a rate of fire of 44 rounds per minute. This weapon has an ammunition box with a capacity of 310 rounds and can use different types of ammunition, especially high explosive, armor-piercing and programmable air-detonation ammunition. This configures the turret to provide effective firepower against a variety of targets. In addition, the turret can also be used with a 7.62 mm machine gun and 40 mm ammunition.
Guided Anti-Tank Missile System
The tower has Guided Anti-Tank Missile (ATGM) systems on both sides, and these systems have a modular structure. Modern armor-piercing missile options such as laser-guided and infrared imager warheads can be integrated according to user requirements. In addition, the ability to operate ATGM systems separately allows firing at different angles.
Fog Mortar and Motion Stabilization
The turret has 76 mm smoke mortars on both sides and can be replaced with mortars of any caliber. The turret provides a high hit rate even on the move with its electric drive system and two-axis stabilization feature. In addition, the turret's ability to rotate 360° on the side axis and its elevation angle between -10° and +45° provides versatile fire support.
Remote Controlled Weapon System (RCWS)
Optionally, an independent remote-controlled weapon system can be integrated onto the TEBER-II 30/40 Turret. This system can include 7.62 mm or 5.56 mm machine guns and provides an effective solution against threats positioned at high points in residential areas. In addition, this system can be used as an independent vision unit for the commander.
TEBER-II 30/40 Two-Man Turret is a platform that provides high firepower, advanced vision systems and effective fire control for armored vehicles. FNSS has equipped this turret with high technology for the needs of the Turkish army and is making significant contributions to the defense industry with domestic production. This turret will be an important tool for future operations by increasing the effectiveness of armored vehicles on the battlefield.
