BMP-M2 CZ modernization of BMP - 1.
BMP-M2 CZ: Czech version of modernization of BMP-1
Yesterday, 08:38 Print
Since the early seventies and eighties until the end of Czechoslovakia under license built infantry fighting vehicles BMP-1 Soviet development. In the early eighties Czechoslovak enterprise mastered the production of BMP-2 machines. By this time in the armed forces the Czech Republic and Slovakia remained several hundred BMP two models. This technique has become obsolete both morally and physically, and therefore needs a major upgrade. To improve the performance of the armored vehicles in recent years has created several new projects. At a recent exhibition of arms and military equipment Eurosatory 2014 Czech company Excalibur Army spol. s ro, engaged in the manufacture, remntom and modernization of armaments and military equipment, demonstrated the first prototype of the infantry fighting vehicle, modernized in accordance with the project BMP-M2 CZ.


According to official information, as shown in the exhibition machine was made on the basis of BMP BVP-1 (a licensed version of the BMP-1). Nevertheless, the similarity of structures is likely to be upgraded to allow the state of BMP-M2 CZ various modifications as BMP-1 and BMP-2. Through this proposed project can be a lot of fun States Army which used Soviet infantry fighting vehicles or licensed production. The aim of the project was to improve the performance of the machine by increasing the level of protection and increase firepower. In addition, the setting of new electronic systems.

Project BMP-M2 CZ provides modernization of armored base, so when you create the constructors of Excalibur Army tried to improve the design of it without serious changes. However, to improve the performance and capabilities, they were forced to make adjustments to the design of the armored corps. The main changes are related to the hull structure relinking troop compartment in the rear part. For greater ease of placement paratroopers troop compartment roof was raised to 500 mm. Because this has been extended frontal upper body part, which is now almost reaches the turret. Improving bulletproof protection provided by using additional modules booking installed over the body. To protect against undermining minutes on the bottom proposed to install an additional module reservations.



Applied changes and additional housing units booking protect level 3 standard NATO STANAG 4569. This means that the machine frame BMP-M2 CZ protected from fire using armor-piercing rounds of 7.62 x 51 mm NATO. Level of mine protection below the machine must be capable of undermining the 6 kg of TNT under the track (level 2a) or 300 g under the bottom (level 1).

The layout of the internal volume of the shell as a whole remains unchanged. In the front right part of the body is the engine-transmission compartment, the left of which are the jobs of the driver and the vehicle commander. Behind them a large troop compartment is provided with six seats for paratroopers and the operator workstation-gunner. All seats crew and troops are invited to attach the sides to reduce the impact of a blast wave at undermining the mines under the track or the bottom.

For planting in the car a driver can use its own sunroof car. Watch it should decor with a few observation devices. Command also has its own hatch with inspection instruments. The troop compartment and office management are not, so, if necessary, the driver and commander can leave the car through hatches feed troops. Entrance to the troop compartment is proposed to carry out through the hatch with two stern ramps. Instead of swinging doors with fuel tanks, both on the base machine, the project BMP-M2 CZ implies use are lowered ramp installed in the openings increased height.

Machine BMP-M2 CZ is a deep modernization of the BMP-1. Perhaps for this reason, engineers Excalibur Army decided to equip it with weapons similar to that used on the BMP-2 armored car. BMP-M2 CZ carries a tower with a 30-mm automatic cannon and coaxial machine gun 7.62 mm. There's also a launcher for anti-tank guided missiles. All weapons upgraded BMP mounted on an uninhabited tower with remote control. Circular tower systems provide guidance in the horizontal plane. Vertical guidance is carried out in the range from -10 ° to +60 °.

For the purposes of search and weapon tower equipped with a camera and a thermal imager. It is argued that such optoelectronic systems allow the use of both barreled and Missiles. In addition, they provide battlefield surveillance.

The first reports about the project BMP-M2 CZ appeared in 2012, but the basic characteristics of a modernized infantry fighting vehicle has not been announced. Probably after upgrading machine noticeably potyazhelela that affected her mobility. At the same time managed to slightly increase the level of protection, firepower is almost unchanged (compared with BMP-2 and its modifications), but need to improve the working conditions of the crew.

Company Excalibur Army claims that the project BMP-M2 CZ is made in a modular scheme. The modernization of the infantry fighting vehicle of the old model is updated to the state of BMP-M2 CZ, but at the request of the customer can get a range of accessories. So, you can use additional modules reservation relevant STANAG 4569 level 4 (armor-piercing bullet cartridge h114 14.5 mm) and mine protection level 3a + (450 g of TNT underneath). Also accommodate protivokumulyativnyh lattices.

The extra equipment available for order also included surveillance video system surroundings, modern communication equipment, including interaction with the infantry, updated sights, etc.

Project BMP-M2 CZ, although of some interest, yet the risk of becoming yet another embodiment, the modernization of obsolete armored vehicles, not interested potential customers. It should be noted, in theory modernization projects armored vehicles BMP-1 and BMP-2 are sufficiently profitable venture as a total was built a few tens of thousands of such equipment. In connection with this, many organizations are attempting to create their options for updating and improving the old technology, but not all of these projects are their customer. How successful the project BMP-M2 CZ - time will tell. The first prototype of this machine was shown a few weeks ago and now potential customers are likely to decide if they need BMP, upgraded so.
