The ability to perceive and understand all surroundings, 360 degrees, in real-time, providing a comprehensive view of the operational environment.

Active Protection System. A defensive system that detects and intercepts anti-tank threats.

Anti-Tank Guided Missile: a missile designed to destroy tanks.

A Battle Management System (BMS) is a command‑and‑control software suite that gathers, processes, and shares battlefield data to provide situational awareness and coordinate the actions of military units.

A vehicle-mounted night vision system enabling drivers of infantry fighting vehicles to navigate and operate in low-light conditions.

Explosive Reactive Armor (ERA): Modular armor system that detonates upon impact to disrupt incoming warheads, reducing penetration of shaped charges and kinetic energy projectiles.

A vehicle subsystem that detects, contains, and extinguishes internal fires to protect crew and critical components.

A navigation system combining Global Positioning System (GPS) for absolute positioning and Inertial Navigation System (INS) for dead reckoning, providing continuous and accurate location and orientation data.

A hunter-killer capability in an infantry fighting vehicle allows the gunner to engage targets while the commander independently searches for new targets, typically using separate optics and control systems.

A Remote Weapon Station is a weapon mount controlled from within an armored vehicle, allowing operation without exposing the operator to direct fire.

Smoke grenades are pyrotechnic devices deployed by infantry fighting vehicles to create a visual screen, obscuring movement or positions from enemy observation or targeting.

A spall liner is an interior armor layer in armored vehicles, such as IFVs, designed to catch or reduce high‑velocity fragments (spall) generated when the vehicle's outer armor is penetrated.

A firearm or automatic weapon mounted on a vehicle and equipped with a gyroscopic or hydraulic system to reduce recoil and maintain aim during movement.

Thermal sights are infrared imaging devices that detect heat signatures to provide a visual display for target detection and navigation in low‑visibility conditions.
