Given the advanced age of the current Marder IFVs, and because the world market does not offer any vehicle comparable with the specifications to which the Puma is built, the acquisition of the new vehicles was unanimously voted for by the budget committee of the Bundestag. The turret is sealed away from the interior of the hull and won't detonate most of APHE shells, significantly reducing potential of collateral damage What is Netfit Technology? This is PUMA’s newly developed custom shoelace adjustment technology, which makes the shoelace an important part of the performance of the shoe and an original with more personality. PUMA covers the middle of the upper with a mesh fabric, and the different positions of the lace perforation can more independently adjust the wearing comfort and the strength of the upper support. One measure to achieve the one-piece cabin is the use of an unmanned, double-asymmetrical turret (see photo): while slightly off-center turrets are common in IFVs, the Puma's turret is on the left-hand side of the vehicle, while the main cannon is mounted on the right side of the turret and thus on the middle axis of the hull when the turret is in the forward position.

the protection of this vehicle is unknow, but since the weight and size is similar and the Shark was related to this develoment, it is to assume the protection was at least against HMG on the front side. that shoulg give a frontal armour of about 20mm and 15mm on the side, but this is only a guess. the vehicle is having a fairly large empty spot on the rear which was for the passenger. that make it can take a dirrect hit on the rear without suffering any real damage. the crew is limited to 3 men which include a driver and commander in the front and a gunner in the turret. the turret also feature 6x smoke launcher to profive some cover.

Traditionally, IFVs are expected to interact with main battle tanks (MBTs) on the battlefield. In reality, many IFVs are not mobile enough to keep up with the pace of an MBT. The Puma aims to close this gap with several key technologies. Firstly, its compact, lightweight MTU Diesel engine is unusually strong at 800kW nominal output. Even at the 43t maximum weight in protection class C, it has a higher kW/t ratio than the Leopard 2 MBT it is supposed to supplement.

German army takes officially delivery of Puma infantry fighting vehicle from Rheinmetall & KMW - Armyrecognition.com, 24 June 2015 Unlike with the similar IFVs, it is incredibly difficult to destroy it without actually taking out the crew The frontal armor offers protection against medium caliber projectiles and shaped charge projectiles. [31] In protection class C, the flanks of the Puma are up-armored to about the same level of protection as is the front, while the roof armor is able to withstand artillery or mortar bomblets.

Israel is forming a fourth Combat Engineer Battalion that will specialize in dealing with roadside bombs, mines and booby traps. As part of this effort, Israel will also upgrade its Pumas. The army is adding new equipment for dealing with roadside bombs and is training the crews to cope with the growing numbers of explosive devices encountered in regions such as Gaza.

The Puma has access to an infra-red jammer, the MUSS APS. It is a constant active APS which provides protection against a wide variety of threats. The jamming device (commander's optics like system on the highest mount of the turret's roof) is mounted on the roof of the tank to cover the vulnerable frontal arc. It is called "Infrared Countermeasure" for the following reason: SACLOS guidance utilizes a beam-riding guidance which is connected to the GPS (gunner main sight in some cases, on others it is a different sight like on T-55AM-1 and T-62M-1) which uses a flare as reference point for the guidance system in the ATGM. The missile moves with the gunner's sight and the flare tries to stay on the crosshairs. IRCM confuses the GPS with a brighter IR light decoy acting as the flare (the flare is also IR) which signals the ATGM to move to a different position nowhere near from the gunner's target. The system works in a similar fashion to the Shtora system found on the Soviet T-90A and the EIREL system found on the French AMX-30B2 BRENUS. Because the foam is stiff, and designed to maximize energy return, the shoes feel fast despite the extra weight. As your foot strikes the ground, it feels like the midsole is working with you, popping off the pavement as you push off. One wear-tester was surprised to nab a 5K PR in the shoes, even though they felt heavy when first put on. A Sleek, Radical, and Durable StructureIn 1996, one year after the German Federal Office for Defense Technology and Procurement(BWB) had requested design specfications, Krauss-Maffei, Wegmann & Co.,MaK Systemgesellschaft mbH, KUKA Wehrtechnik, and Henschel-Wehrtechnik all presented their concepts. Different designs toyed with placing the engine in the front or the rear, and the weight varied between 55 to 71.9 tons. A group of four A400M aircraft could fly three class A Pumas into a theatre, with the fourth airplane transporting the class C armor kits and simple lifting equipment. The Pumas could be built-up to armor class C within a short time. The Puma is a German infantry fighting vehicle (IFV) ( Schützenpanzer or short SPz) designed to replace the aging Marder IFVs currently in service with the German Army. Production of the first batch of 350 vehicles began in 2010 and was completed in August 2021. A second batch of 229 Pumas received funding. [8] Mass production began on 6July 2009. [9] The companies responsible for this project are Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Rheinmetall Landsysteme, which created a joint venture, Projekt System Management GmbH (PSM). The Puma is one of the world's best-protected IFVs, while still having a high power-to-weight ratio.
