Kollmorgen is advancing motion design for the next generation of Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFVs), ensuring that Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) and Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs) remain precise, reliable, and mission-ready on the modern battlefield.
As threats evolve, from loitering munitions to long-range precision strikes, AFVs must integrate stabilized turret systems, Remote Weapon Systems (RWS), and advanced sensor platforms while maintaining accuracy and mobility.
Electromechanical turret drive systems are replacing traditional hydraulics, offering tighter precision, modular upgrades, and simplified integration with digital controls. These systems support faster, more powerful motion to counter growing armor and payload demands, ensuring MBTs can respond effectively to drones, top-attack threats, and other emerging challenges.
Speed, accuracy, and stabilization are critical; advanced electromechanical architectures allow turrets to maintain precise targeting even over rough terrain. Long-term integration is equally essential, as AFVs remain in service for decades, requiring reliable, serviceable systems with sustainable supply chains.
Beyond tanks, these design principles extend to missile turrets, Satellite Communication System (SATCOM) platforms, and RWS across the ground vehicle fleet, enabling consistent performance and interoperability. Partnering with experienced motion engineers like Kollmorgen ensures mission-critical precision, durability, and rapid deployment, giving forces a decisive advantage on the battlefield.
