FNSS Showcases its New Generation
Tracked & Wheeled Armored Vehicles
at Eurosatory 2018
K. Nail Kurt, General Manager and CEO of FNSS, commenting about
their international collaborations, said: “FNSS is a company with
a deeply-rooted corporate culture of working as a team with both
the user and local industry in different countries. In every country
we go to, we adopt a holistic approach to projects by taking the
entire life cycle into account. Our goal is to provide, from the very
first delivery, the best systems in the world to our users, and to
ensure that these systems remain as ready and effective as they
were on their first day for their entire duration of use, until they are
removed from the inventory.
To achieve these goals, we adopt different cooperation models in
line with our users’ preferences. Based on the level of competence
of local companies, we have successfully implemented a large
variety of business models, ranging from technology transfer to
joint development. We find the new opportunities ahead to be very
exciting, and we are ready to forge new collaborations and to build
new friendships.”
FNSS Launches PARS 4x4 Anti-Tank Vehicle Developed for ATV
Project at Eurosatory 2018
Developed by FNSS to meet the needs of Turkish Land Forces
Command, the PARS 4x4 Anti-Tank Vehicle (ATV) makes its
first world appearance at Eurosatory 2018, where one of the two
prototypes of the vehicle produced for qualification tests is being
displayed at the FNSS stand, giving visitors to the event the
opportunity to inspect up close a fully mission-equipped vehicle.
The two prototypes, produced as part of the ATV project, will
spend the coming months undergoing qualification tests once
the manufacturer’s verification tests have been completed.
The PARS 4x4 ATV has been devised as a vehicle that offers both
speed and high manoeuvrability under all terrain conditions,
with sufficient firepower to destroy enemy tanks and other
armoured units from a distance, and with the ability to engage
second targets following a rapid change of position. Drawing
upon its vast experience and innovative approach, FNSS has
come up with a very special amphibious vehicle that is capable
of meeting these challenging requirements simultaneously.
Most noteworthy among the PARS 4x4 ATV’s features is the
positioning of its power pack at the rear of the vehicle. With the
placement of cooling grate and exhaust on the upper body, this
positioning allows the vehicle to go amphibious without prior
preparation, thus granting it the best amphibious capabilities
in its class and further allows the PARS 4x4 to manoeuvre at
higher speeds. All these features, which can only be expected
from a vehicle with a rear-positioned power pack, grants the
PARS 4x4 with critical capabilities in moving away rapidly after
launching an attack.
