The CT-CV turret main feature are unique high angles of depression and elevation (from -10° to +42°) which allows to engage high ground targets, what is significantly useful during the urban or mountain warfare. It also allowed to use WOLF FSV as an artillery system providing fire support up to 10 km when using indirect fire also from concealed firing position as the fire control system has two working modes – for direct and indirect fire. CT-CV has also advanced self-defense systems including Laser warning system, smoke grenade launchers and complete protection against NBC contamination. PlACe fOR WOlf fSv Because of its armament and ammunition the WOLF FSV has several possible applications as support of other units. WOLF FSV is capable to engage enemy tanks using GLATGM, engage other types of vehicles or even helicopters, disable or destroy entrenchments and destroy personnel using both basic cannon when using canister ammunition and coax machine gun. High angles of cannon elevation enable use in mountain environment (most of currently used vehicles have restricted capabilities to conduct fire to high ground targets) as well as an artillery system in complex fire support system – its capabilities significantly reinforce artillery fire. High mobility level, and the most important all terrain capabilities, maneuverability and speed – this features cannot be overestimate on European (but not only) theater. The ROSOMAK APC, which WOLF FSV is match with mobility, already became a valuable element in light infantry brigades, which basic features are high mobility and conducting maneuver operations. Systems that enhance WOLF FSV vulnerability significantly increase its survivabilityon the battlefield. Ballistic protection system might be tailored to user requirements and the changes may be done in the field. Additional armor kits allow to provide protection against the 14,5mm rounds on the sides and even against the RPG warheads in the front. From the logistical point of view, deploying the same carrier system like ROSOMAK APC will simplify maintenance and spare parts supply system. Additionally, drivers and technical crews will not require specialized training. Possible introducing of WOLF FSV into service, will probably increase capabilities of motorized and mechanized infantry units in engaging armored enemy forces bas well as will increase fire support capabilities in the combat zone. Nowadays this capabilities may not be adequate – anti-armor platoons with ATGM Spike have limited capabilities and BMP-1 IFV fire support or armored target engagement possibilities are only theoretical. vehicles
