Developed ARCT Anti- to be designed and produced through indigenous capabilities.
Tank Guided Missile Turret Working at an intense pace from the beginning of the ATV Program, FNSS
at Eurosatory 2018 managed to complete the design and prototype production phases of the
ARCT within a very short period. Verification tests involving the long range
firing of the first anti-tank guided missile were performed in the 18th month
of the project calendar, and this critical stage was concluded successfully
with a direct hit on the intended target. The tests also saw the firing tests
of the coaxial machine gun with the platform both
stationary and on the move.
In the near future, the ARCT will participate in the
qualification tests of the KAPLAN-10 and PARS
4x4 vehicles developed under the ATV project.
Serial production will commence once all of the
tests have been completed, and deliveries will
continue until 2021, when the turret will be serving
on a total of 260 vehicles.
