The video I seen at least had the whole turret synced, which didn’t make sense. Commander sight and RWS wouldn’t have any technical challenges. The only question would be if the costs of implementing it is justified.
Sorry, which whole turret? The entire YT short only shows the CITV+RWS combo being synced to the helmet.
I agree with this part, but some members have suggested that the video is AI generated. I just want a confirmation on whether it's AI generated or not, and if anyone think it's AI generated the reason why.
I think it is fake.
For one, given that the parade organizers have been trying to not spoil the show, why was this tank commander allowed to show off such feature, if indeed exists, to random bystanders during a rehearsal? I'd imagine all the guns are required to be locked at the certain angles of elevation for uniformity in the parade, rehearsals included.
Secondly, how would such feature work in battle fields when the tank commander will have to sit down with his hatch closed most of time? That clip showed some rather dramatic head movements which are unlikely to be practical in confined space. If it was to shoot at multiple adversary drones coming from different directions, it would be quite time consuming for each target, and tiring for the commander's neck, too. A better approach IMO would be to track eyeballs to reduce head movements.
This is definitely a good reason. While the ability has existed in other platforms for a long time before, I suppose they're unlikely to test in in such a crowded (camera dense) environment to random bystanders.
Hmmm, considering they already have the APS radar, I think depending on the detection ranges they can modify & integrate the good old SPAAG software into the platform.
That way when the radars detects unidentified flying objects, the SPAAG software highlights the targets in the BMS. Then the commander can use his (presumably) touchscreen terminal to select the target, slewing CITV+RWS combo for visual & FLIR target ID. If hostile then just pull the trigger.

Using it for the machine gun turret is probably secondary to having situational awareness. If I were trying to deceive people, it would be in precise sync with the direction of the visor so why bother if it’s not?
Don't quite see what the problem is.
Current MBT CITV implementation allows commander-gunner override. Which means that HMS to CITV and/or Gun Sync is simply a toggle setting. Likewise, it is not too hard to consider a HMS synced to CITV or RWS or Main Gun or any combo really(?) via toggle settings.
wrt Main gun turret rotation lag. A aim point separate from actual gun laying reticle is a common interface issue we see even in video games - it's not that hard to get used to. Likewise, in current MBT with CITV and hunter-killer arrangements, it would be common for the commander CITV to be sighted off-bore and then override the gun controls and wait for the gun to slew around.
Personally, I'm curious on how else the HMS is actually tied into enabling the crew to handle more task beyond just simple sight to gun syncing (which already happens with current non-HMS gun sights). Specifically, does the hands-free aspect of a HMS actually free up the crew to handle other task simultaneously and competently or is this just tech for the sake of tech?
sounds like a turbine, due to the sound it makes while approaching, you can hear it when the tank infront of it passes more clearly.
It's hard to imagine so much discussion about AI-generated videos.It is apparently generated from these images.
Self-explanatory.
