The Light Observation-Protective Container (LOOK) is intended for securing and protecting soldiers who perform surveillance and defense duties. It is designed for logistics and operational bases or other relevant strategic facilities such as controlling checkpoints, airfields, airports during peacetime as well as at war support operations.

The LOOK is resistant against small arms fire. It is equipped with bulletproof windows, a remote-controlled weapon station and multi-sensor surveillance platform. It can be a part of a military base protection system or it can operate autonomously as a single unit.

The LOOK container increases the protection level of military staff serving combat missions at military units, checkpoints and strategic warfare installations (due to its' armor and practicality of surveillance devices soldiers can detect targets through visible and infrared light). As the result - the soldier loss is decreased, and its' combat capabilities are effective in controlled areas by an integrated armament.
