ASELSAN's "Next Generation" МВТ upgrade solution is also equipped with Laser Warning Receivers (LWR) for enhanced survivability. LWR is a state-of-the-art threat warning system to detect, classify, identify and give warning of laser threats aiming on the platform and immediately enable the smoke launcher system to mask the МВТ by smoke from the hostile force.

LWR is closely integrated to the FCS and RWS, so that the commander and/or gunner periscopes together with the main/secondary weapon shall automatically slew to the threat direction detected by the LWS and enable the gunner, commander and/or loader to immediately engage on the hostile force.

LWS is designed to detect Laser Range Finders (LRF), Laser Designators (LD) and Laser Beam Riders (LBR) operating on various optical bands.
