Due to the small scale of the Italian Army, the output of the Ram main battle tank and the Centaur tank destroyer is not large, so the fire control system parts of the two types of equipment are interchangeable, and it is not necessary to independently develop a fire control system for each vehicle. Defense spending can be minimized.
