Moreover, unconfirmed reports state that, in the event of an emergency, the vehicle can be operated by only two crew members, or even a single one. The commander of the tank has the ability to override the command to take control of the turret and gun from the gunner. The Korean Gunner’s Primary Sight (KGPS) and the Korean Commander’s Panoramic Sight (KCPS) are present in the Black Panther as in the original series of K1A1 tanks, though modified to utilise the more advanced sensors and armaments deployed on the K2. If the trigger on the main gun is pulled at the same time the tank encounters an irregularity in the terrain, oscillation of the gun barrel will cause temporary misalignment between a laser emitter at the top of the barrel and a sensor at the base. The fire-control system is also linked to an advanced gun stabilizer and trigger-delay mechanism to optimise accuracy while moving in uneven terrain. This allows the crew to fire accurately while moving as well as engage low-flying aircraft. The system is capable of a “lock-on” mode, which can acquire and track specific targets up to a range of 9.8 km (6.1 mi) using a thermographic camera. The K2 is equipped with an advanced fire-control system linked to an Extremely High Frequency radar system deployed on the frontal arc of the turret, along with a traditional laser rangefinder and crosswind sensor.

This is complemented by an autoloader, similar to that designed for the Leclerc tank it can fire up to 10 rounds a minute. The Black Panther is armed with a 120mm L/55 smoothbore gun indigenously developed by Hyundai Wia. Developed as a modern main battle tank that will replace most of the remaining M48 Patton tanks and complement the K1 series of main battle tanks currently fielded by the South Korean military.
