MODERNISATION KITS FOR COMBAT VEHICLES
Fire control systems
Fire control systems are among the most essential components of combat vehicles. The application of optoelectronic devices – including night vision and thermal imaging – significantly improves the effectiveness of fire control systems. A key requirement of the modern battlefield is the ability to conduct precise long-range observation and engage targets in low visibility conditions. In particular, the use of thermal imaging cameras increases the effectiveness of fire control systems, enabling platforms to operate effectively in conditions such as smoke or fog.
PCO S.A. offers equipment that enables straightforward and efficient upgrades to Drawa-T fire control systems, used in PT-91 tanks operated by the Polish Armed Forces. The Thermal Camera Upgrade Kit has been developed specifically for this purpose and can be installed in the vehicle without requiring structural modifications. Once upgraded, the fire control system remains easy to operate, requiring no lengthy or additional training for the crew. The upgrade may be carried out by military workshops, for example during regular vehicle servicing.
Extensive fire control system portfolio
The upgrade kit is PCO’s response to customer demand and the growing trend towards providing complete systems rather than individual devices – especially relevant for the modernisation of fire control systems. This solution enables integration of various devices with existing tank equipment. Its core component is the KLW-1 thermal imaging camera, delivering high-quality imagery.
PCO S.A. also offers the PCT-72 Periscopic Thermal Imaging Sight, suitable for all T-72 family tanks, replacing the existing TPN-1-23-11 night sight. An optional armoured housing for the periscope head is available. These solutions enable the T-72’s fire control system to meet the demands of today’s battlefield.
PCO S.A.’s products used in fire control systems are already deployed by the Polish Armed Forces and are valued for their proven durability, resistance to harsh weather conditions, and reliability in field operations. The company continues to strengthen its manufacturing capabilities in producing equipment for the modernisation and upgrading of a wide range of combat platforms, including fire control systems.
