摘要

The Portuguese Army is to further upgrade its Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) Leopard 2A6 main battle tanks (MBTs) with the aim of improving their communication and battle management capabilities, the army's Logistics Command (CmdLog) has told IHS Jane's. The 37 vehicles fielded by the service's Mechanised Brigade will receive the EID ICC-251 software-defined compact digital intercommunication system to replace Thales SOTAS system, with a contract potentially signed this year.
