The Carmel AVF will have advanced and lethal artificial intelligence and stealth autonomous capabilities.

Elbit Systems Ltd. (Nasdaq: Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. and Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. (IAI) (TASE:
Elbit Systems' technology includes autonomous driving capabilities using an algorithm that examines the terrain, with early detection and neutralization of threats, such as roadside bombs. Elbit Systems' future AFV also contains a drone that takes off from it according to the operational needs of the team operating the AFV, photographs the area of activity, and streams the information in real time into the AFV where it is screened on advanced touch screens. The system also contains a robot rescuer that carries out missions classified as high risk.

Rafael displayed a concept of a "transparent cockpit" that provides the AFV team with 360-degree peripheral vision of external events. Data relevant to the outline of the AFV team's activity is screened on giant touch screens installed inside the AFV, with no helmet or special vision equipment. A range of unique sensors with electro-optic capabilities relay to the AFV team a picture of the situation outside the vehicle. The system also contains launchers for Spike anti-tank missiles, a smart trigger, a Trophy-type active defense system that protects the vehicle against anti-tank missiles, etc.

IAI unveiled a technological demonstrator based on its family of unmanned robot vehicles. It contains a joystick similar to a compute game that can be used to operate the vehicle on the future battlefield. Th autonomous systems displayed by IAI are controlled by a centralized automated fighting system that filters out information irrelevant to the battlefield mission and makes it possible to focus on critical threats and making urgent decisions.

"All of the solutions displayed by the defense companies were tested in recent weeks under a series of difficult operational scenarios by a special Ministry of Defense test team," Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure head of research Brig. Gen. Yaniv Rotem said. He added that the technological demonstrators of Rafael, IAI, and Elbit Systems revealed today did not include additional capabilities whose developed was led by the Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure, including hybrid propulsion for the AFVs, revolutionary active camouflage capability, cyber defense, multi-tasking radar, a system for identifying friendly forces, advanced armor solutions, etc.

Some of the technological solutions that are ready for operations are already being integrated in the IDF's fleet of armored vehicles, including Merkava tanks and the Namer and Eitan AFVs. According to Rotem, the helmet offered by Elbit systems for the Carmel AFV program will be installed on the new versions of the Merkava Mark 4 tank.

The defense industries are looking at markets around the world, and have marked the ground forces sector as a growing field that will feature many deals for upgrading tanks and AFVs after they become outmoded over the years and must be adapted to the latest battlefield needs. For the defense industries, being included in Carmel program led by the Ministry of Defense is an entry ticket to the global market for upgrading AFVs and tanks, a market expected to expand in the coming years, with an accompanying rise in demand.

Few points that can be seen in the first video

• Autonomous driving
• Launch of a drone from inside the system
• AI ease the tasks
• Automation descovery of IED and neutralization if needed
• Shows enemy and friendly forces on the screen

Will it take a 120mm round to the face?

Will it take a 120mm round to the face?

it's only a technology demonstrator... The IDF gave them old M113 to field their technologies on it
It will probably be placed on a platform similar to Eitan or Namer.
Anyway, all the technology above are being integrated unto existing platform.
For example, Merkava 4 Barak will have Iron Vision googles u saw on elbit demonstrator among other technologies.
Also, "Trophy 2" is being developed, that will share interception opportunities among all the Trophy equipped vehicles in close proximity to it and also rumored to be effective against KE rounds

Can communications get jammed between vehicle and operaters?

Can communications get jammed between vehicle and operaters?

Probably, would be very hard to achieve tho

And even a T 90 could withstand a KORNET.

Nope lol
