Cockerill® 3105 The Right Edge. Right There. Right Now and Forward.
The Cockerill® 3105 combines the firepower of its 105 mm high-pressure gun with the mobility of medium-weight armored platforms – for decisive effect where and when it matters, in direct response to the demands of contemporary and future conflicts.
In a rapidly evolving security environment, firepower, deployability and mobility, and sustainability are simultaneous requirements. Three defining DNA markers of the Cockerill® 3105. The right operational edge – immediate and enduring.
Firepower Core – First-round hit. Decisive effect.
Firing is not enough. Mastering the weapon and controlling its effect is what makes the difference in engagement – at the precise moment, on the designated target, with the right munition.
Because in combat, the first hit delivers the advantage.
The Cockerill® 3105 is designed for this requirement. A 105 mm high-pressure rifled gun, advanced digital fire control, and a John Cockerill Defense-designed autoloader: every component contributes to real engagement superiority – first-round accuracy, sustained rate of fire, guaranteed decisive effect.
Compatible with the full spectrum of NATO 105 mm ammunition, the Cockerill® 3105 delivers a relevant response to every threat or need for support: armor, fortifications, infantry, emerging targets or smoke screen support.
Force Multiplier – Extended reach. Amplified effect.
Firepower only has value if it can be deployed where and when needed. As the lightest system in its class and featuring a low-recoil gun, the Cockerill® 3105 can be integrated onto a wide range of tracked and wheeled platforms, including 6×6 and 8×8 configurations up to 26 metric tons minimum, without compromising stability, accuracy, or endurance.
Its exceptional elevation and depression capabilities open the door to engagements in urban areas, mountainous terrain, or any complex environment, as well as native indirect fire capabilities without exposure. Direct fire support, armed reconnaissance, infantry support, convoy protection, neutralization of fortified positions… Far from diluting its performance, this mission versatility constitutes a genuine tactical asset. Not a compromise, but an effects multiplier – giving deployed forces more options, responsiveness, and freedom of action across the full spectrum of operations.
Lifecycle Advantage – Cost optimization. Maximum deployment. Rapid evolution.
The Cockerill® 3105 is a component of the Cockerill® 3000 Series ecosystem – the most standardized on the market. The benefits extend across every stage of the lifecycle: production, training, field operations, maintenance, and logistics. The Cockerill® 3105 optimizes both operational performance and economic efficiency across the entire lifecycle.
From immediate cost advantage to sustained operational mass, through to the capacity of its architecture to accommodate upgrades toward a 5th-generation force.
