AAD2014: Denel unveils new turret
Denel Land Systems (DLS) launched its new LCT MC (Light Combat Turret - Medium Calibre) turret at the AAD exhibition in Pretoria on 17 September.
Stefan Burger, CEO of DLS, told reporters that the company saw a gap in their portfolio for an affordable one-man operated turret system that has good protection and sighting systems.
He said that the LCT MC is not stabilised or automated in order to reduce the cost of the turret system but the company has retained the day and night camera with narrow, intermediate and wide field of view and a thermal sighting system.
