PL-01 is a Polish armoured fighting vehicle created by OBRUM with support from BAE Systems, based on the Swedish CV90120-T light tank.[1][2] The concept vehicle was first unveiled at the International Defence Industry Exhibition in Kielce on 2 September 2013.[3] With the program being approved, mass production is now confirmed and is scheduled to begin in 2018

The layout of the PL-01 is similar to those of modern standard main battle tanks. The driver is located at the front of the vehicle's hull, with the commander and gunner also located in the hull and the unmanned turret mounted in the rear. In addition, there is a rear compartment in the hull which can accommodate four soldiers.[5] The vehicle chassis is based on that of the Combat Vehicle 90.[6]

The vehicle armour has a modular ceramic-aramid shell, which is designed to provide protection compatible with NATO standard STANAG 4569 Annex A at level 5+ across the front portions of the hull and turret. Additional armour panels are mounted on the turret and hull, and are designed to provide full protection against a range of projectiles. The hull of the vehicle provides protection against improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and landmines in accordance with appendix B parts 4a and 4b of the STANAG 4569 standard. The entire vehicle will be covered with radiation-absorbent material.[5][7][8]

The PL-01 will be equipped with a 940 horsepower (700 kW)+ diesel engine coupled to a torque converter, automatic gearbox and driving assistance mechanism.[5] The suspension is based on seven wheels, with the drive shafts having active damping of torsion bars mounted on the first and last two pairs.[9] The vehicle can reach speeds of up to 70 kilometres per hour (43 mph) on paved roads and 50 kilometres per hour (31 mph) in rough terrain with a maximum range of 500 kilometres (310 mi). It can successfully climb an inclination of 30 degrees, cross ditches and trenches to a width of 2.6 metres (8 ft 6 in), and cross water obstacles with a depth of up to 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in) without preparation, and up to 5 metres (16 ft) deep with preparation.[5][9]

Weapons[edit]
The primary weapon of the PL-01 is a 105 or 120 mm caliber gun fitted within the unmanned turret, in accordance with NATO standards. The cannon will be able to shoot both conventional projectiles and guided anti-tank missiles. The autoloader ensures a shot fire rate of 6 per minute. The vehicle carries 45 rounds, of which 16 are located in slots within the turret and ready to fire, and the remainder stored within the chassis compartment. The tank is also armed with a 7.62 mm caliber UKM-2000C machine gun with an ammunition supply of 1,000 rounds.[2][5][7]

Additional equipment will be installed in a remote-controlled module. Presently the planned designs include a 7.62 mm or 12.7 mm caliber machine gun or a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher with a supply of 750 rounds of 7.62 mm, 400 rounds of 12.7 mm or 96 rounds of 40 mm grenades. Also built into the turret is an active defense system which intercepts incoming missiles and smoke grenade launchers.[5][7]

All equipment will be electronically stabilized, and observation and sighting systems will come with laser rangefinders, day-night cameras and third generation thermal imaging, with visual data displayed on a screen.[7]

Equipment[edit]
The PL-01 will be fitted with a fire extinguishing system in the turret and hull, internal radio communication system, active anti-projectile protection system, battlefield management system, cooling exhaust system, thermal masking system, and air conditioning filters. The crew are provided with special seats to minimize the physical effects of nearby explosions. In addition, the vehicle may be equipped with a satellite navigation system and friend-foe identification system.[4][5][8]

Variants[edit]
In addition to its direct fire support role, the vehicle can also be configured as a command vehicle, mine clearance vehicle, or for armored vehicle repai

Future technology: Invisible tank, real Iron Man combat suit and floating cities compilation



TomoNews presents to you stories of amazing technology that will change -- or already is changing -- the way humans wage war, practice medicine, build, live and just about everything else.

1. Obrum, part of Poland Defence Holdings, has revealed its latest product, the Tank PL-01 CONCEPT at the MSPO 2013 defence exhibition. In cooperation with Polish companies and British conglomerate BAE Systems, the PL-01 which weighs 35 tonnes, measures 7 meters long, 3.8 meters wide and 2.8 meters high. Three people can fit in the hull of the vehicle.

2. The U.S. Special Operations Command (Ussocom) called on scientists to develop a lightweight smart suit using kevlar and nanotechnology that functions as a 'practical exoskeleton' to protect soldiers from shrapnel and bullets.

3. NASA envisions a mission to Venus that could eventually result in the construction of a floating city of solar-powered airships above Venus’ clouds where humans could be able to live permanently.

4. The XSTAT Rapid Hemostasis System made by RexMedX uses tablet-sized sponges that absorb blood and expand to stop bleeding.

5. Is it possible to survive a plane crash? If you’re in a detachable cabin it is, according to Russian engineer Vladimir Tatarenko.

6. No longer just science fiction, cryogenic sleep could send astronauts far into space for less money and with less of a negative psychological impact.

7. A freestanding space tower sounds like the stuff of Star Wars, but a Canadian company is now one step closer to making it a reality after its ‘space elevator’ structure got patented in the UK and US.

8. Boeing has obtained a patent for a shockwave attenuation system, that generates a shield using lasers, electricity and microwaves after detecting a nearby explosion.

9. A design for a 3D-printed cast has been dubbed one of the finalists for the 2013 James Dyson Award. The cast, called the Cortex Exoskeleton and designed by Jake Evill, is meant to be more flexible and convenient than traditional orthopedic plaster casts.

10. At least 50 U.S. law enforcement agencies are now in possession of a radar device that allows them to detect human movements through walls.

11. Samsung’s Safety Truck was developed and tested in Argentina, where traffic accident rates are among the highest in the world.

12. An Australian company is working on a new technology that promises to generate zero-carbon electricity and turn seawater into drinkable fresh water by utilising sea waves.

13. An array of 64 speakers emitting three finely-tuned sound waves was used to manipulate an object. The first wave is a tweezer-like beam that can grip, move and rotate a small object. The second one behaves like an acoustic vortex which can hold the object in space. The third field works like a cage, trapping the object.

14. "In the future, we will not only have 14 billion light bulbs, we may have 14 billion Li-Fis deployed worldwide for a cleaner, greener and even brighter future,” German physicist Harald Haas said.

15. A Polish company has been developing mini drones, dubbed “Bee”, that can be deployed on reconnaissance missions as well as attached to military vehicles to assist the infantry units during attacks.

16. People dying for a more eco-friendly alternative to cremation now have the option of liquefying their bodies in a steel container called the Resomator.

17. The new invention by researchers at the University of West England contains fuel cells which use bacteria to create power from waste fluid and was inspired by the cardiovascular system of fish.

18. A British company has invented a new type of concrete designed to rapidly absorb water that could be used to help mitigate the damage caused by flash flooding.

19. Boeing obtained a patent for a drone and related charging system that would allow the aircraft to remain aloft indefinitely. Titled “Autonomous aircraft with disconnectable tether,” Boeing’s patent describes a lighter-than-air craft that connects to charging towers.

Poland Listeni/ˈpoʊlənd/ (Polish: Polska), officially the Republic of Poland (Polish: Rzeczpospolita Polska; Kashubian: Pòlskô Repùblika), is a country in Central Europe, bordered by Germany to the west; the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the south; Ukraine, Belarus to the east; and the Baltic Sea and Kaliningrad Oblast (a Russian exclave) and Lithuania to the north. The total area of Poland is 312,679 square kilometres (120,726 sq mi),[7] making it the 69th largest country in the world and the 9th largest in Europe. With a population of over 38.5 million people,[7] Poland is the 34th most populous country in the world,[9] the sixth most populous member of the European Union, and its most populous post-communist member. Poland is a unitary state made up of 16 voivodeships.
A tank is a tracked, armoured fighting vehicle designed for front-line combat which combines operational mobility and tactical offensive and defensive capabilities. Firepower is normally provided by a large-calibre main gun in a rotating turret and secondary machine guns, while heavy armour and all-terrain mobility provide protection for the tank and its crew, allowing it to perform all primary tasks of the armoured troops on the battlefield.[1]
The M1 Abrams is an American third-generation main battle tank produced by the United States. It is named after General Creighton Abrams, former Army Chief of Staff and Commander of U.S. military forces in the Vietnam War from 1968 to 1972. Highly mobile, designed for modern armored ground warfare,[10] the M1 is well armed and heavily armored. Notable features include the use of a powerful gas turbine engine (multifuel capable, usually fueled with JP8 jet fuel), the adoption of sophisticated composite armor, and separate ammunition storage in a blow-out compartment for crew safety. Weighing nearly 68 short tons (almost 62 metric tons), it is one of the heaviest main battle tanks in service.

The M1 Abrams entered U.S. service in 1980, replacing the M60 tank.[11] It served for over a decade alongside the improved M60A3, which had entered service in 1978. The M1 remains the principal main battle tank of the United States Army and Marine Corps, and the armies of Egypt, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Australia, and Iraq.

Stealth technology also termed LO technology (low observable technology) is a sub-discipline of military tactics and passive electronic countermeasures,[1] which cover a range of techniques used with personnel, aircraft, ships, submarines, and missiles, to make them less visible (ideally invisible) to radar, infrared,[2] sonar and other detection methods. It corresponds to camouflage for these parts of the electromagnetic spectrum.
