Kerametal is active in the modernization of various defence systems. An example is development, production and successful test completion of the latest light armored vehicle Aligator 4×4 Master, the development of completely new chassis and transmission components for this vehicle, overall modernization of the 152 mm howitzer´s Dana fire control system, modernisation of the T-72 chassis or simulation systems.
Kerametal in collaboration with partners in Slovakia is active in foreign markets for acquisition and sales of live combat simulation systems, land vehicles and flight simulators, optoelectronic devices, mobile hospitals and heliports, technologies for mortar and high calibre ammunition production etc.
• ALIGATOR 4×4 MASTER – Light weight armored vehicle.
ALIGATOR 4×4 – MASTER has been developed and produced to provide the best and diverse solution for the need of the armed forces for light wheeled armored vehicles. ALIGATOR 4×4 MASTER is exceptional mainly because of its light weight, remarkable pay load, low silhouette, high mobility, superior manoeuvrability, high speed, excellent level of survivability, simple transportability for rapid deployment, amphibious regime, above the average ground clearance, and its optimized monocoque hull structure providing all round high level ballistic protection and through
its unique modular detachable v-shape floor configuration even rugged anti-mine blast protection . It is ideally suited as adjustable platform for diverse functions and various tactical mission roles such as command, surveillance, reconnaissance, weapon station or police tasks. Vehicle was introduced into the armed forces service in 7 various modifications.
• LIVE COMBAT TRAINING SIMULATION SYSTEM (CTSS)
CTSS shooting and tactical live training simulator is a special optoelectronic equipment compatible with all armour equipment and fits to all infantry weapons. Main advatages of the system: Training actions performed on real weapon system, no ammunition consumption, no wear and tear to the weapon, easy to use mobile and modular system, force on force combat tactical training, mode of ballistic firing simulation.
• PORTABLE FIRE CONTROL SYSTEM
Operational for any kind of mortars and for towed guns. Applicable for 60mm 81mm 98mm and 120mm mortars
and artillery. Simple operation with keyboard, all “Change and View” mode (fire and all other elements are recalculating automatically after any keyboard input from user).
