Brazilian Navy looks to modernise light tanks, buy wheeled vehicles



By: Wording OD.

The Brazilian Navy is considering upgrades for its SK-105A2S Kürassier light tanks, and to purchase 4x4 and 6x6 armoured vehicles for its Marine Corps (CFN), a navy spokesperson told IHS Jane's .Projects to modernise the tanks and to obtain wheeled armoured vehicles are currently undergoing a study phase and a concept and budget feasibility analysis, the spokesperson said.



Those projects integrate the service's multi-phase Strategic Project for Consolidation of the Marines Amphibious Brigade Program (PROBANF), which is to add to marines' firepower, expeditionary, mobility, and protection capabilities. Seventeen tanks and one 4KH7FA Greif recovery vehicle were received from Steyr-Daimler-Puch Spezialfahrzeug (now part of General Dynamics European Land Systems) in 2001 after they were acquired in 1998.
