Next to the unmatched IED and mine protection the modular protection concept allows the integration of an urban operations kit that also offers a 360° protection against RPG while a duel-kit retains the crew from KE- and SC-projectiles especially on the frontal arc in classical duel-situations.
The capability to fire the new programmable 120mm HE-round enables the crew to engage targets behind cover and within buildings.
Fitted with KMWs remote controlled weapon station FLW 200, which is operable under protection, the LEOAPRD 2 A7+ is assertive in both built-up and non-built-up terrain.
The LEOPARD 2 A7+ benefits from an increased mobility by a newly developed final drive, a new track, enhanced torsion bars, an improved brake-system and an adaptable dozer blade to clear obstacles for following vehicles.
Furthermore it is equipped with a high-performance cooling unit and an APU (auxiliary power unit) to accomplish a 24-hour battle day. The redesigned operational concept allows the crew to utilize the new capabilities efficiently.
The commander and gunner benefit from the 3rd generation ATTICA thermal sight, near field surveillance at day and night as well as day and night cameras for the driver.
