Kakva modernizacija
Citat:A new compartment was added to the rear of the refurbished and overhauled platform in order to quickly add a new powerpack, the 320 hp Rolls-Royce Power Systems MTU 6R926 engine, and ZF Friedrichshafen 6HP504C automatic transmission. A new differential, alternator, braking system, transfer case, and partially new suspension were installed as well.
The turret was fitted with a multispectral observation sensor from Opto Eletrônica with day and night cameras, laser range finder, and missile laser illuminator; situation awareness system incorporating four compact cameras from Orlaco Products; Harris Falcon III tactical radio and associated antenna; Thales SOTAS digital intercom; and servo-hydraulic turret drive and elevation control systems.
A storage area was added in the vehicle's rear to accommodate new batteries and other components. Provisions were made to add side-mounted launchers for Mectron MSS1.2 AC anti-tank guided missiles. The Cascavel's 90 mm rifled gun, 7.62 mm coaxial anti-aircraft machine guns, and two triple banks of 76 mm smoke grenade launchers were retained. Ruggedised displays were installed for the driver, gunner, and commander.
