Cockerill hat aus ihrer 90mm Hochdruckkanone Mk8 eine 105mm Kanone für den Einsatz in leichten Fahrzeugen entwickelt. Zusammen mit ihrem neuen Turm CT-CV wurde das System auf der Eurosatory 2004 vorgestellt. Seitdem wurde das System auf einem Truppenübungsplatz in GB getestet. Dafür ist es auf einem Piranha III H montiert. Der Turm beherbergt Kommandant (links der Kanone) und Richtschütze (rechts der Kanone). Beide verfügen über ein Zielperiskop mit Nachtkanal (WBG) und LEM, der vom Kommandanten ist ein Panoramapersikop (also drehbar). Beide verfügen über ein LCD-Display.
Die Kanone verfügt über einen Autolader. Das Magazin am Heck des Turmes kann schnell ausgetauscht werden und fasst 16 Schuß. Dieser kann auch händisch von innen oder außen nachgeladen werden. Die APFSDS-Granate wurde speziell für diese Kanone entwickelt, kann aber auch auf anderen L7 Kanonen verwendet werden. Sie hat eine Vo von 1.620 m/s und einen Durchschlag von 560mm bei 0°. Der Penetrator hat ein l:d Verhältnis von 29:1. Die Leistung entspricht der ersten Generation von 120mm-Geschoßen. Der Turm wiegt 4t ohne und 5t mit Zusatzpanzerung. Das System entspricht dem Technology Readiness Level 7, ist somit also Serienfertig. (IDR 1/05) Infos vom Hersteller -------------------- Schon seit 20 Jahren: Waffen der Welt

M1128 Stryker MGS geht in Produktion
QUOTE New Stryker Variants Gear Up for Testing Posted 02-Feb-2006 09:49 Related stories: Americas - Other, Americas - USA, Contracts - Awards, Design Innovations, Force Structure, General Dynamics, Guns - 60+ mm direct, New Systems Tech, Support & Maintenance, Tanks & Mechanized, Testing & Evaluation Also on this day: 02-Feb-2006 » General Dynamics Land Systems in Sterling Heights, MI received a $24.5 million contract for spare parts that are unique to the two newest Stryker variants: the M1128 Stryker Mobile Gun System (MGS) and the M1135 Nuclear, Biological and Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV). This contract funds procurement of initial unique spares for the first-time fielding of these two variants, and has a total potential value of $50 million if all options are exercised. So, how does this fit into the evolution of the USA's Stryker vehicle family, and future production plans? The Stryker MGS and NBCRV variants entered low-rate initial production (LRIP) in December 2005. General Dynamics will deliver 17 of the Stryker NBC Reconnaissance Version and 72 of the Mobile Gun Sysytem variants during low-rate initial production. The vehicles will be used for various tests and user evaluations through Q4 2007, and the Milestone C decision to begin full-rate production of both variants is also slated for the fourth quarter of 2007. The M1128 Stryker MGS variant is meant as a direct-fire infantry assault vehicle with a 105mm cannon mounted in a low-profile, fully stabilized, \"shoot-on-the-move\" turret. It's intended to provide firepower support for Stryker Brigade Combat Teams, primarily for engaging hardened positions but also for dealing with enemy vehicles as required. It will also be used by the Canadian Armed forces. Stryker MGS has had a rocky development history, with widespread reports of problems with the recoil of its gun and center of gravity. DID's photo up top would even appear to indicate a support bracket for firing tests, though a specific inquiry to General Dynamics Land Systems, we received this response: As you can see from the photo the recoil is not a problem firing the gun for the vehicle.... in the past critics have made the claim that you could not fire over the side but the photo proves you can. What you identified in the red box is the instrumentation cables used to manual fire the gun and collect data. Other photos show the same cables as well. Recoil was not an issue it was the pepper-pot muzzle break on the earlier vehicles that was used to let gas escape and lesson the recoil. When we lowered the gun turret to allow loading in C-130 Hercules the gas from firing was too close to the vehicles front end. We returned to a standard 105mm cannon without the pepper pot muzzle break and adjusted for the recoil in the mechanism. The M1135 Stryker NBCRV, meanwhile, provides the U.S. Army's Stryker Brigade Combat Teams with the Department of Defense's newest nuclear, biological and chemical detection equipment in a Stryker chassis. The core of the NBC RV is its on-board integrated NBC sensor suite and integrated meteorological system. An NBC positive overpressure system that minimizes cross-contamination of samples and detection instruments, provides crew protection, and allows extended operations at MOPP 0 (i.e. without protective clothing for its occupants). The MGS and NBCRV have a high level commonality with the rest of the 310 Strykers that comprise a Stryker Brigade Combat Team, easing the unit's training and logistics burden. The Army is slated to have six Stryker Brigade Combat Teams by 2008, and some of them have already served in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Work will be performed in Sterling Heights, MI (73%), London Ontario, Canada (15%), Tallahassee, FL (10%), and Scranton, PA (2%), and is expected to be complete by July 31, 2007. This was a sole source contract initiated on Dec. 9, 2003 by the Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command in Warren, MI (DAAE07-02-C-B001). http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/2006....dex.php Man beachte insebsondere das Bild mit der Bildunterschrift "MGS - C'est What?!?" -------------------- |
