CV9030 Norwegian - Modernized
In the BAE Systems Hagglunds booth, the Norwegian upgraded CV9030 is exhibited. It is called CV90 C2 variant.
AMV35 Australian LAND400 contender
In the open area, BAE Systems exhibit the AMV35 8x8 of the Australian Land400 program.
Rheinmetall Lynx is an IFV, not a light tank..
It seems the brand new Rheinmetall vehicle is an IFV based on Marder Hull and Lance turret.
I was expecting a light tank, but it seems the configuration displayed is Infantry Fighting Vehicle...

Rheinmetall's New Light Tank
Rheinmetall introduces a New
Light Tank
in Upcoming Eurosatory
It seems Rheinmetall is revealing a new light tank design in Eurosatory 2016 (Starting June 13th).
The light tank is probably to be called Lynx.
Now I am going to come up with some wild guesses...
Look at the images below that show a Marder IFV. The same colored arrows shows the similarities between a Marder and this Lynx vehicle.
So I think the Lynx might be based on a Marder hull... But it might also be my imagination..

Kongsberg's MCT30 remote turret is being exhibited in General Dynamics Booth on a LAV 8x8 vehicle.
The turret is remotely operated under armor. It has got an ATK Mk44 30mm automatic cannon and a co-axial 7.62mm machine gun located to the top and left side of the main gun.
The main gun is fed from a Linkless Feed System from Meggitt. The system comprises of two lammo cans on either side of the main gun with 75 rounds each with a total ready to fire ammo capacity of 150 rounds.
The reloading is performed under armor.
The turret has a pan-tilt style independent sight from CarlZeiss with thermal imager, day camera and LRF.
Turret moves from -10 deg to +45deg in elevation.
The brochure states that the main gun has First-Round-Select capability which indicates they have the stretched version of the Mk44 with closed bolt firing.
