K2 MBT is a top-notching, home-grown main battle tank suited for both battle environments in mountains and cities. Equipped with 120 mm 55 caliber length smoothbore main gun, auto-loading system and integrated fire control system, firepower of K2 has no competitor. Hydro-pneumatic Suspension system(ISU) and Dynamic Track Tension System(DTTS) allows stable and sustainable operational capability and excellent mobility in rough ground conditions. Moreover, K2's survivability is maximized through various protective systems, such as Battle Management System(BMS) that detects and distributes threat data, Active Protection System(APS) that diverts threats, and composite armor and ERA that protects crew members.
