The PsJgv I is a multi-purpose system capable of serving as both an Infantry Fighting Vehicle (Gjf. A0) or as an Armored Scout/Cavalry Vehicle (Gjf. A1). With the Gjf. A0, the room inside of the hull is utilized for passengers, capable of carrying up to a maximum of 7 in full gear. The Gjf. A1 uses the hull space as stowage space for additional ordinance and equipment for utilization as an armored scout or armored cavalry vehicle. In the Gjf. A1, the additional 2 passengers serve most often serve as crew members, filling the role of dedicated a dedicated radio operator and ordinance specialist.

Countermeasure Systems -
The PsJgv I can be equipped with numerous anti-tank countermeasures. The PsJgv I can also be equipped with the Seier Electro-Optical Projectile Disruption system (EOPD) and the Seier Early Warning Laser System (EWLS). A Seier Chaff Jamming Countermeasure System (CJCS) can also be installed to counter electronic threats. On the undercarriage of the tank an Anti-Mine Degaussing System (AMDS) can be installed to handle anti-tank mines on the ground.

EOPD -
The Electro-Optical Projectile Disruption system is an anti-tank missile countermeasure. The EOPD is a radiation dazzler which causes IR, UV and heat seeking missiles to detonate early or lose their guidance path by overloading their sensors.

EWLS -
The Early Warning Laser System is an optical laser receiver which alerts crew members when the tank is targeted or “painted” by a laser guidance system or rangefinder. The EWLS is directly tied into the EOPD to activate the EOPD so that the threat can be neutralized.

CJCS -
The Chaff Jamming Countermeasure System uses a long rang broad frequency jamming system to disable electronic guidance and communication systems. The classified Mobile Unit Communication frequency is left unjammed.

AMDS -
The Anti-Mine Degaussing System uses a large degaussing array to disable magnetic anti-tank land mines which might be planted on the ground. The sudden degaussing of the mines causes them to stop functioning either permanently or until the degaussing field as passed on (along with the tank itself).


Ammunition -
The 25mm TMg-1 is a triple-fed open-bolt heavy machine gun capable of firing a variety of ammunition types. The computerized ammunition selection, selectable by the commander, is capable of selecting and firing Armor Piercing, Incendiary and Proximity Air-burst.
