Systems:
AEISCN-01:
Shares target information with other friendly tanks in the field along with other information, also allows friendly tanks in large numbers to make coordinated attacks through out the battlefield. Also allows friendly tanks to instantly reorganize into new squadrons and divisions for new assaults and also relays all information back to command. This system also checks in every 2 minutes (or shorter/longer; can be adjusted) with GPS and military satellites to update terrain and enemy movements.


ALMRS/TTAC-03 Mk. II:
Tracks up to 40 enemies and ranks them according to range, heading, threat level, and tank-type to provide best possible firing solution. Also computes MOA and other variables and automatically sets turret and barrel to correct heading (when this feature is engaged) and can fire on up to two targets simultaneously (assuming ATGM's are on their respectable slides).

Shtora-3 - Interferes with enemy laser rangefinder, interferes with enemy radar and tracking systems, and interferes with enemy logistical computer support systems

ARENA- Anti-missile defense system, scrambles enemy missile radars and flight computers.

Armor- Layer of standard stainless steel (dulled or painted) with a layer of titanium/depleted uranium after it, this works along side with slanted armor. Outer armor acts to slow projectile while slanted titanium/depleted uranium armor serves to deflect it or lodge it. T-06D has Kaktus ERA.
