how i love you right now, someone actualy remembered what i am preaching the whole time and is able to correct others as well
Eurosatory pretty much only was a showcase of “plans”, in the sense that they were to lazy to put a 2a7V with odean right next to it. It just looks better on the newest toy.
Thats why no broschure actualy mentions the odaeon for 2a8s.
Right now the system is only approved for integration in 2a7V for testing in the future leo 3 project.
Might they decide later on to put it on the 2a8? maybe, but thats plans for the future
just to make sure, ODEAON is a bigger system with the LDRCIM dome sound/visuell detection.
LWS alone doesnt have a name i think
what do you make of the “Da die Optikdetektion auf dem physikalischen Prinzip des
Katzenaugeneffekts beruht, kann somit die Funktionsweise des MUSS übernommen werden.” part, it sounds to me a bit like they want to conduct automated target detection using computer vision.
thats a bit how i understand it as well, depending how the light gets into the optics they can gather several data out of it. Its a very complex system.
To point out, the base with the indents, should be the odaeon optic detection part.
The top is the LDRICM dazzler
This means the Leopard 2A8 will eventually have (in theory) MUSS 2.0. I guess we’ll find out.
For the time being, however, this absolutely obscene, unfair difference between the 2A8 and 2A8NO needs to be removed. Either both or neither have LWS, but one cannot have it while the other does not.
Even if your claim is true, you do understand how prototypes work, right? It was constructed and owned by Germany, so I’m not really sure why you think this thing just doesn’t exist. It has the technology and has been installed.
