据简式防务4月8日报道

近日，法国Soframe公司向外界公布了交付陆军的“马赛克”新型装甲车辆的部分细节。“马赛克”(MOSAIC)是一种新型轮式装甲车辆，是“任务、观察、监视、探查、作战”英文首字母的缩写，为轻型侦察与支援多用途装甲车。“马赛克”项目是法国陆军“蝎子”计划的重要内容，基于网络中心战和马赛克战的作战概念，强调快速响应、多用途、网络化，打造网络使能能力。“马赛克”装甲车具备情报与侦察、与目标交战、运兵等多功能，车载中程反坦克导弹，全车单体架构，采用高硬度钢材料，带被动反应装甲，用于弹道防护。新型座舱采用高性能复合材料，带附加装甲。为了应对地雷和路边简易炸弹，装甲车轮罩上设置了烟道，用以向上传导释放爆炸冲击波，使之远离装甲车。全电混合动力设计，可使装甲车隐蔽行进，同时遂行侦察任务。

Soframe reveals MOSAIC vehicle aimed at France’s VBAE competition

French company Soframe has released details of its offering for the French Army’s new Véhicule Blindé d’Aide à l’Engagement (VBAE) light reconnaissance and support vehicle requirement.

Although France has begun to receive the first examples of upgraded models of its Arquus (originally Panhard) Véhicule Blindé Léger (VBL) 4×4 light scout vehicle, called Ultima, its longer-term plans are to field VBAE as part of the SCORPION Phase 3 Networked Enabled Capability (NEC).

VBAE roles are to include intelligence and reconnaissance, engaging targets, and transporting teams carrying the MBDA Medium-Range Missile (MMP) anti-tank guided missile, which is in service in the dismounted role.

Soframe, which is part of the Lohr Group, told Janes that it is developing a wheeled vehicle called the Mission Observation Surveillance Investigation Combat (MOSAIC) to meet the French Army’s requirement.

In a statement, the company said it is “currently setting up an industrial organisation to move ahead. The production of a prototype is being assessed as part of this move”.

MOSAIC will feature a monocoque all-welded body of very-high hardness (VHH) steel with an additional layer of passive armour for a higher level of ballistic protection.

The latter includes “an add-on armour solution notably based on the new in-house developed Tenexium technology based on advanced composite material”, the company said.

To provide a higher level of protection against mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), MOSAIC’s hull incorporates flue pipes above the wheel arches to channel the blast of the explosion upwards and away from the vehicle.

According to the company, the drive train was designed to accommodate, without modification, the components of a full electric/hybrid that would enable a silent mode.
