On the vehicle there is a starter tower that can be rotated through 360 ° and on which four guided missile launchers are mounted on the side. In the marching position, the containers lie flat on the vehicle roof. The gunner with the optical sight, with which the target is acquired, is located in the tower behind a Plexiglas window.
