TriAD Air Defence Turret

TriAD is a prime protector of mechanized units at the front edge of the battle area. It is adaptable and can be configured with most types of combat vehicles.

The turret system has advanced sensors, such as the search radar with helicopter detection mode, an optronic sight system with night combat capability and a fire control system with threat evaluation.

The helicopter mode and threat evaluation give the turret its very short reaction time.

The 40 mm L/70B gun is based on the Bofors 40 mm L/70 air defence gun but is adapted to the requirements of the combat vehicle.

The ammunition used by TriAD is the Bofors Defence 40 mm 3P 6-mode programmable round with the ability to defeat many types of targets.

For combating armoured targets, such as combat vehicles, the kinetic energy 40 mm APFSDS-T round is used.
