It carries a three-man crew consisting of the commander, gunner, and driver protected by NBC capability, inertial navigation, and a GPS battlefield management system networked with identification friend or foe (IFF). The panoramic sights of the gunner and commander are stabilized in two axes and include a thermal imager and laser rangefinder, allowing for day and night observation to improve situational awareness. And to top it off, the cabin is fitted with an air-conditioning system and an interface that allows the tank to be operated by just two or one crewman.
