The Brazilian Army has received four proposals for a local procurement of a 105 mm gun system intended for its 8x8 armoured reconnaissance vehicle within the VBR-MR (Viatura Blindada de Reconhecimento-Média de Rodas) programme.
CMI Defence, OTO Melara, Denel Land Systems, and China North Industries Corporation (NORINCO) responded on 9 March to the request for proposals (RfP) issued in November 2014 with the aim of buying one prototype and an option for a pilot batch of about 13 systems.
The acquisition by the army's Manufacturing Directorate will most likely open the door for at least 100 turrets.
Requirements include the 105 mm high-pressure gun as main armament, 7.62x51 mm machine guns, 76 mm grenade launchers, electro-optical and fire-control systems, as well as provisions for communication and command-and-control systems.
