The South Korean Ministry of National Defense (MND) is planning to improve the overall performance of the Republic of Korea Army's (RoKA's) K1A2 main battle tanks (MBTs) as part of an upgrade programme.
作为升级计划的一部分,韩国国防部(MND)计划改善韩国陆军(RoKA)的K1A2主战坦克(MBT)的整体性能。
 
The Defense Agency for Technology and Quality (DATQ) announced in March that it will conduct "advanced research" between June and October 2020 to determine how best to enhance the platform's performance in a number of areas.
国防技术与质量局(DATQ)在3月宣布,它将在2020年6月至2020年10月之间进行“高级研究”,以确定如何在多个领域以最佳方式增强该平台的性能。
 
Among the upgrades the agency is looking into is the installment of a situational awareness system to allow the crew to better monitor the battlefield situation from inside the vehicle. In addition, a thermal periscope for the driver is expected to be installed.
该机构正在考虑进行的升级之一是安装态势感知系统,以使机组人员能够从车辆内部更好地监视战场情况。另外,预计将安装用于驾驶员的热视潜望镜。
 
The agency is also looking to increase the platform's protection against anti-tank missiles by removing the existing armour and installing a new high-performance special armour. Moreover, the DATQ is considering equipping the tank with an active defence system capable of intercepting such missiles.
该机构还希望通过移除现有的装甲并安装新的高性能特种装甲来提高平台的反坦克导弹防护能力。此外,国防技术与质量局正在考虑为该坦克配备能够拦截此类导弹的主动防御系统。
 
To improve manoeuverability, the tank's existing hydro-pneumatic suspension will likely be replaced with an in-arm suspension unit (ISU) similar to that used by the RoKA's K2 MBT. Moreover, an auxiliary generator will be installed, and the engine's output is expected to be increased, although it is undecided as to whether this will happen by upgrading the existing engine or installing a more powerful one.
为了提高机动性,该坦克的现有液压气动悬架可能会替换为与韩国陆军的K2型主战坦克相似的臂内悬架单元(ISU)。此外,将安装一台辅助发电机,并期望增加发动机的输出,尽管尚不确定是通过升级现有发动机还是安装更强大的发动机来实现。
 
The crew's protection against chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) threats is set to be enhanced through a combined environmental control system that will moderate the temperature within the vehicle.
机组人员对化学、生物和辐射(CBR)威胁的防护将通过一个综合环境控制系统来加强,该系统将调节车内温度。
 
The DATQ is also examining the feasibility of a remote weapon station. If integrated into the commander's sight, this would not only further enhance situational awareness but also provide the commander with the ability to engage some targets independently of the gunner.
国防技术与质量局也正在研究远程武器站的可行性。如果将其整合到指挥官的视线中,这不仅会进一步增强态势感知能力,而且还将使指挥官能够独立于炮手而与某些目标交战。
