The results of Legal Mix V showed that the survivability |
|
of the M110 system could be significantly enhanced |
|
through the addition of ballistic protection to the M110 |
|
and its associated Ammunition Resupply Vehicle. The Crew |
|
Ballistic Shelter consists of a removable armored cab |
|
fastened to the vehicle turret. It is similar in shape |
|
and appearance to the present winterization kit. Sight |
|
openings and doors in the front and sides of the shelter |
|
provide for fire control sighting operations. An M8 NBC |
|
Collective Protection System is also included. The |
|
Ballistic Shelter will enhance the Field Artillery's |
|
support of maneuver forces by significantly improving |
|
survivability of the on-board crew against hostile |
|
artillery fire. The shelter will remain installed on the |
|
weapon for all normal operations, e.g., road march, |
|
firing, etc. The shelter can be removed by the organic |
|
howitzer crew with the aid of the organizational |
|
maintenance wrecker, when necessary, to facilitate |
|
maintenance or transportability. Both the howitzer and |
|
shelter can be transported on one flat car. |
