1 A SUCCESSFUL EUROPEAN COOPERATION POWERFUL & COMPACT 40 CTAS CASED TELESCOPED ARMAMENT SYSTEM

2 A SUCCESSFUL EUROPEAN COOPERATION COMPANY CTA International is a 50/50 Joint Venture Company founded in 1994 between BAE Systems and NEXTER Systems. CTA International is located in Bourges in the heart of the historic military centre of France. The company comprises more than 80 British and French Engineers and Support staff and is dedicated to Research & Development, Manufacturing and Sale of 40 CT Systems. 40 CT CANNON SERIES PRODUCTION FACILITY EXPERTISE AND UNIQUE EXPERIENCE CTA International has developed a revolutionary 40 mm Cased Telescoped Armament System (40 CTAS) providing a paradigm shift in terms of use, logistics and ease of integration into armoured vehicles for either new build or systems upgrades. CTAI continues to develop the 40 CTAS, including the integration of complex firing functions and the design of new and unique ammunition that will meet the emerging threat. EUROPEAN COOPERATION The qualification of the CT Cannon and Ammunition through the CTA International Joint Venture has been jointly funded by both the British and French governments. This qualification programme is aligned with the schedule and performance requirements of the French JAGUAR Armoured Reconnaissance Vehicle programme, the British AJAX and WARRIOR programmes and a range of export opportunities.

3 40 CTAS A SUCCESSFUL EUROPEAN COOPERATION 40 mm CASED TELESCOPED ARMAMENT SYSTEM GUN CONTROL EQUIPMENT (GCE) The 40 CTAS is primarily aimed to equip armoured and reconnaissance vehicles in order to provide them with fire power superior over any other Medium-Calibre system. KEYS COMPONENTS OF THE CTAS AMMUNITION HANDLING SYSTEM (AHS) 40 CT Cannon (40 CTC) 40 mm Cannon equipped with thermal sleeve. Ammunition Handling System (AHS) Automatically managing the ammunition to be fed into the cannon, the AHS is specific to each turret structure or configuration and to customer requirements in terms of the quantities and natures of ammunition for battlefield missions. 40 CT CANNON (40 CTC) GUN MOUNT CTAS CONTROLLER (CTAS-C) 40 CT AMMUNITION CTAS Controller (CTAS-C) The CTAS-C is modular in design and construction. It controls the cannon and the AHS. It also incorporates the control of the weapon azimuth and elevation along with the ballistic calculation, coincidence control and the programming of the Airburst rounds (GPR-AB-T and A3B). Gun Control Equipment (GCE) Provides full azimuth and elevation stabilisation when firing on the move. The GCE includes the elevation and azimuth drive motors, encoders, gyroscopes, accelerometers and electronic control unit. Gun Mount Designed specifically to support the CTC integration into each turret application. Suite of Ammunition APFSDS-T TP-T TPRR-T GPR-PD-T GPR-AB-T A3B-T 4 5

4 40 CT CANNON A SUCCESSFUL EUROPEAN COOPERATION 40 mm CASED TELESCOPED CANNON PRODUCT QUALIFIED - JUNE 2014 Ease of integration Along with increased fire power the 40 CTC and its associated small footprint ensures easy turret integration (both manned and unmanned), increasing crew protection and workspace, whilst reducing the turret size and weight. Multi-role The 40 CTC can incorporate multiple natures of ammunition within the same ammunition handling system giving the End User the capability to quickly engage threats across the modern battlefield spectrum including those within urban environments. High Elevation The cannon design allows the ability to fire at high elevation angles providing target effect against threats within the upper sections of tall buildings and those with a height advantage in mountainous terrain. 6 WEIGHT OVERALL DIMENSIONS RIFLED BARREL LENGTH RATE OF FIRE RECOIL FORCE RECOIL STROKE FIRING MODE AIMING Total : 340 kg Recoiling mass : 230 kg L3428 mm x W311 mm x H264 mm 2,80 (70 Calibres) Nominal up to 200 rds / min Nominal 110 kn Nominal 42 mm Single shot mode Burst mode Coincidence mode From -10 to +45 (can be extended to +75 ) 7

5 APFSDS-T A SUCCESSFUL EUROPEAN COOPERATION ARMOUR PIERCING FIN STABILISED DISCARDING SABOT TRACER - PRODUCT QUALIFIED - JUNE 2014 The Armour Piercing Fin Stabilised Discarding Sabot - Tracer (APFSDS-T) is able to penetrate more than 140 mm of RHA (Rolled Homogeneous Armour) at 1500 m. This sub-calibre dart can defeat all light armoured vehicles, infantry fighting vehicles, including those heavily protected with advanced add-on armour. DIMENSIONS AMMUNITION MASS PROJECTILE MASS INITIAL VELOCITY ACCURACY PERFORATION EFFECTIVE RANGE 8 65 x 255 mm 1900 g 550 g >1500 m/s 0,3 mil 140 mm RHA at 1500 m >2500 m 9

6 TP-T TARGET PRACTICE - TRACER PRODUCT QUALIFIED - JUNE 2014 TPRR-T TARGET PRACTICE REDUCED RANGE - TRACER The Target Practice - Tracer (TP-T) is an inert training munition based on the GPR-PD-T and GPR-AB-T rounds reproducing the ballistic trajectory of the warshot munition. The TP-T allows training under realistic conditions and may also be used to indicate intention with reduced target effect (shot across the bows). The Target Practice Reduced Range - Tracer (TPRR-T) is a training munition using a plastic case tube, lightweight projectile and reduced quantity of propellant to provide a low cost training solution. The TPRR-T has a ballistic trajectory similar to that of the GPR-PD-T and GPR-AB-T rounds up to 1500 m. Additional function: The projectile is designed to limit the range to less than 6500 m allowing training in areas with a reduced safety trace. DIMENSIONS 65 x 255 mm AMMUNITION MASS 2400 g PROJECTILE MASS 980 g INITIAL VELOCITY 1000 m/s ACCURACY 0,5 mil MAXIMUM RANGE 8500 m DIMENSIONS 65 x 255 mm AMMUNITION MASS 1900 g PROJECTILE MASS 730 g INITIAL VELOCITY >1000 m/s ACCURACY 0,5 mil MAXIMUM RANGE < 6500 m 10 11

7 GPR-PD-T GENERAL PURPOSE ROUND - POINT DETONATING - TRACER GPR-AB-T GENERAL PURPOSE ROUND - AIRBURST - TRACER The General Purpose Round Point Detonating - Tracer (GPR-PD-T) is a High explosive munition capable of penetrating more than 210 mm of double reinforced concrete. The unique projectile is optimised for fragmentation effects. The significant behind protection effects of this munition delivers effective suppression of threats in urban structures and lightly armoured vehicles. The GPR-AB-T is a programmable High explosive munition delivering an Airburst detonation of the HE shell above target up to a maximum range of 2500 m. The unique projectile is optimised for fragmentation effects, resulting in a large area coverage on the ground or behind protective barriers and offers the ability to neutralise vehicle optical systems. The GPR-AB-T can also operate in Point Detonating mode.
