A single prototype was built on a modified T-72M tank chassis, which saw the driver's compartment relocated to the left side of the hull, the torsion bar suspension system reinforced and the vehicle received an auxiliary power unit with larger capacity batteries necessary to operate the on-board electronics.

The turret is a welded plate design capable of protecting the crew against small arms fire and shell splinters.

The turret contains two banks (2x6) of smoke dischargers and two Oerlikon KDA 35 mm automatic cannons linked to a fire control radar (like on Flakpanzer Gepard).

It is a gas-operated weapon with a dual belt feed mechanism, driven by a laterally-mounted gas piston operating rod.

The Loara is an autonomous fire unit capable of performing its tasks independently or acting as a component in a wider air defence net.

The Loara has a reaction time of under 10 seconds[citation needed]; initial target scanning and acquisition while on the move is carried out by the vehicle commander by means of his stabilized panoramic 8x PSPD-1 periscope sight developed PCO S.A.
