Abstract: A modular turret for an armored vehicle includes: an invariable and unique basic structural unit configured to be interchangeable, called a standard shell, equipped with interface means; and a plurality of interchangeable and removable functional modules and/or systems securable to the standard shell by specific fastening means distinctive from a connection of each functional module to the standard shell. The interface means allow an assembly of a set of different modules and/or systems of a same functional type on the standard shell at an interfacing zone on the latter. The standard shell includes an assembly of a plurality of plates with different shapes and sizes giving the standard shell a geometric shape with fixed dimensions. The plates have orifices and/or connectors for fastening the interchangeable and removable functional modules and/or systems. The plurality of plates includes a base metal sheet including a base of the standard shell.
