The Lance 2

Lance 2 – Rheinmetall's premium medium-calibre turret for all modern combat requirements
Modern armed forces are confronted with an ever-increasing number of missions, ranging in complexity from high-intensity combat to asymmetric threats in the field. To meet today's challenges, combat vehicles must be equipped with a wide range of electronics, sensors, optronics and effectors. As a system supplier, Rheinmetall develops, manufactures and modernises the Lance 2 turret system to respond appropriately to current and future threats.

Key features
The Lance 2 is characterised by its modular design, latest-generation sensors and visual aids, and its precise and accurate weapon systems. It is considered the benchmark in the medium-calibre turret segment. The turret system can be integrated on both wheeled and tracked platforms.
Lethality
- The fully stabilised sighting systems and weapon system, combined with the digital fire control system, enable firing from movement with maximum accuracy. In addition, the use of state-of-the-art functions such as hunter-killer and killer-killer capabilities are standard.
- With an effective range of up to 3,000 m for the powerful 30 mm main weapon and anti-armour capability of up to 5,500 m, the Lance 2 is ideally equipped for the modern battlefield.
Modularity and uniformity
- Due to its modular structure, the Lance 2 can be configured to meet individual customer requirements. The majority of the tower structure remains identical, generating synergy effects between the different customer variants.
Situational awareness
- The commander and gunner can independently observe the surroundings via the SEOSS Sector and SEOSS Panorama and reliably identify objects up to 5,000 m away. For comprehensive audiovisual orientation, the commander can access the hatch. The 360° all-round reconnaissance system, laser warning system and acoustic platform actively inform the crew of potential dangers and indicate their source.
Future-proof
- With its future-proof, digital NGV architecture, the tower offers extensive upgrade potential and ensures that it will keep pace with technical developments in the coming decades.
Protection
- The protection of the turret crew and their operational readiness is a top priority. In addition to the multi-layered protective structure that separates the crew from the weapons and ammunition, the main and secondary armament can be reloaded under protection. In the field, the ROSY smoke screen system generates 360° smoke screens that provide effective screening in the visual and infrared spectrum.
