<h2 id="development">Development</h2> <p>The development of the Type 08 vehicle family starts in the 1990s as the successor to other aging Chinese wheeled vehicles. Type 08 was first seen in 2006, undergoing road tests.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="design">Design</h2> <h3>Overview</h3> <p>The Type 08 has modular design that allows customization of the vehicle based on mission. The vehicle consists of six modules: engine module, transmission module, control module, suspension module, hull module, and weapon station module. The vehicle is fitted with a digital battlefield management system, satellite navigation system, <a href="/facts/NBC_protection/fKyUBaY0">NBC protection</a>, and automatic fire suppression system. It is able to datalink and communicate with other vehicles as well as the command posts.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> </p> <h3>Protection</h3> <p>The vehicle chassis and turret is made of all-welded steel with mounted alumina ceramic composite plates, providing protection against shell splinters, 12.7 mm armor-piercing incendiary rounds at 100 metres (330 ft) and 25 mm projectiles over the frontal arc at 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). The vehicle is fitted with smoke dischargers and laser warning receivers to improve survivability.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> The vehicle is capable of all weather operation.

The radar is designed for <a href="/facts/Identification_friend_or_foe/ANQjz9NM">target identification</a> (IFF), acquisition, and tracking. </p> <h3>Mobility</h3> <p>Type 08 family is powered by the <a href="/facts/Deutz_AG/Nl1XuIsX">Deutz</a> BF6M1015C water-cooled V-type 6-cylinder diesel engine, developing 330 kW (440 hp). The vehicle is equipped with <a href="/facts/Automated_manual_transmission/SKNeCHQj">automated manual transmission</a>. The front four wheels are capable of power steering. The maximum speed is 100 km/h (62 mph) with a 800 km (500 mi) range on paved roads. The vehicle is fully amphibious, with hydraulically controlled water jets mounted to the rear. The vehicle is fitted with computer-controlled <a href="/facts/Central_tire_inflation_system/upYWTNq9">central tire inflation system</a> and steel-reinforced <a href="/facts/Radial_tires/ALTC7oB8">radial tires</a> to improve mobility under off-road and emergency situation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18"><sup>18</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="variants">Variants</h2> ZBL-08 (Type 08) infantry fighting vehicle Original IFV variant with a ZPT-99 30 mm turret based on <a href="/facts/Shipunov_2A42/J7UU6aIC">Shipunov 2A72</a>. It features a crew cabin in the back for infantry transportation. <a href="/facts/HJ-73/BmKsGV3h">HJ-73</a>C missiles can be optionally mounted on each side of the turret. ZSL-10 (Type 10) armoured personnel carrier Based on IFV variant but the modified crew cabin has a higher ceiling.

The Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle will advance before IFVs and assault guns for intelligence gathering. On-board high definition electro-optical cameras, thermal imaging systems, and <a href="/facts/Laser_designator/fPNtJ3CK">laser designator</a> can transmit battlefield and target information for other data-linked vehicles for target identification and designation. The Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle can provide better situational awareness for the infantry. The main radar and electro-optical sight is mounted on a retractable mast and is capable of data-link and image-sharing with other vehicles.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:21" href="#fn:21"><sup>21</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:22" href="#fn:22"><sup>22</sup></a> Aerial reconnaissance capabilities are provided with various unmanned aerial vehicles. All reconnaissance vehicles are equipped with a launch rail behind the turret, capable of launching ASN-15 with 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) range and one hour endurance. <a href="/facts/Harbin_BZK-005/tapYC1l7">BZK UAV</a> can also be stored and assembled on the spot if longer-range aerial reconnaissance is needed.

The artillery reconnaissance vehicles does not perform combat reconnaissance missions, instead focusing on target acquisition for artillery battalions, and collection of terrain and meteorological data through various observation instruments.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24"><sup>24</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25"><sup>25</sup></a> Type 08 electro-optical reconnaissance vehicle The vehicle chassis is based on the APC variant but with no turret and self-defense weapons. The prominent addition, compared to other reconnaissance variants, is a rapid-spinning electro-optical surveillance camera that creates a 360-degree panoramic video stream. The onboard sensor may include a daylight camera, an infrared-thermal camera, and a night vision camera.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26"><sup>26</sup></a> PLL-09 (Type 09) modular <a href="/facts/Self-propelled_howitzer/hohbl8cF">self-propelled howitzer</a> system Based on IFV variant.

A modular mounting provision for anti-air missiles is located at the forward-right side of the turret, with four <a href="/facts/TY-90/MWBEKxQ5">TY-90</a> missiles seen on the export SWS2 version.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34"><sup>34</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35"><sup>35</sup></a> Above the turret, there are electronic fire controls including a thermal-tracking sight, a targeting radar, and a surveillance radar. The data collected by the radars can be data-linked back to the command and armored reconnaissance vehicles. Although the system shares the armaments with PGZ-09, the loading mechanism is completely different. Since PGL-12 only has one barrel (whereas PGZ-09 has two), the new gun system requires a higher fire rate for sufficient firepower density. The redesigned unmanned turret with proprietary revolving loading system can provide a 1000 rounds/minute rate of fire, increased from the 550 rounds/minute per barrel on the PGZ-09.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36"><sup>36</sup></a> PLB-625 air defense gun-missile system PLB-625 is a 8x8 air defense vehicle<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37"><sup>37</sup></a> featuring a 6-barrel 25 mm <a href="/facts/Gatling_gun/JD7Shf7S">gatling gun</a> and four <a href="/facts/FN-6/IPMw2TV1">FN-6B</a> (FN-16)<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38"><sup>38</sup></a> for short-range air defense.
