POLYNEGE
POLYNEGE is a 120 mm guided modular ammunition which comes as a complement to the kinectic ammunition to meet the new requirements of the armoured unit needs. Its modularity and precision enable the projectile to defeat various kinds of targets (main battle tanks, light armoured vehicles, dismounted troops, infrastructures) beyond the Line of Sight up to a distance of 8 km.
POLYNEGE meets all the STANAG 4385 and MOPI AEP 26 requirements and can be fired by the LECLERC, Abrams M1 (A1 et A2), Leopard 2, C1 Ariete main battle tanks and other tanks armed with 120 mm smoothbore guns. POLYNEGE is suitable for use as part of the French concept "BOA" (air/land operational bubble) and other Network Centric Warfare (NCW).
