The superior weapon system for light armoured vehicles

As the world leader in 90 mm guns and turrets, CMI Defence has accumulated incomparable expertise in the field of Assault Guns and has especially designed the LCTS90 Turret to optimise the firepower of 10 to 20 ton class vehicles. Light and compact, with a low recoil, this turret fits most light armoured vehicles available on the market, tracked or wheeled. Thanks to the powerful Cockerill Mk8 90 mm gun, it gives them similar anti-tank capabilities as heavier tanks using 105 mm weapons without penalising their mobility or transportability.

The latest generation of the LCTS90 turret has been designed to be fully digitalized so that it can integrate the latest  developments  in  technology, including auto-loading.
