ment. The 1V520 computer provides fire control and adjustment. The vehicle is fitted with navigation equipment, which displays both digital data, and the vehicle's position on an electronic topographical map. The BRM-3K CRV mounts an NBC protection system. Electric devices are powered by the main generator or the integrated autonomous electric power system with an output power of 4 kW.
The BRM-3K combat reconnaissance vehicle is based on the BMP-3 IFV and features similar mobility and protection. It is capable of operating within tank and infantry formations, negotiating ditches, trenches and water obstacles in stride, autonomously constructing fortifications both for itself and similar vehicles, as well as operating independently as deep as 100 km in the enemy rear.
