U.S. Made Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) M270 and M270A1 Highly Acuracy

M270 MLRS and M270A1 GMLRS

To provide coalition ground forces with highly lethal, responsive and precise long-range rocket and missile fires which defeat point and area targets in both urban/complex and open terrain, with minimal collateral damage, via a highly mobile responsive multiple launch system.

DESCRIPT ION
The combat-proven Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) M270A1 is a mechanized artillery weapon system that provides the ground commander with round-the-clock, all-weather, lethal, close, and long-range precision rocket and missile fire support for joint forces, early-entry expeditionary forces, contingency forces, and modular fire brigades supporting Brigade Combat Teams.

The Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) M270A1 is an upgraded version of the M270 launcher. The program entailed the concurrent incorporation of the Improved Fire Control System (IFCS) and the Improved Launcher Mechanical System (ILMS) on a rebuilt M993 Carrier (derivative of the Bradley Fighting
Vehicle). With the IFCS, the M270A1 can fire future munitions and the ILMS reduces system load and reload times. The M270A1 provides responsive, highly accurate and extremely lethal, surface-to-surface, close- to long-range rocket and missile fires from 15 kilometers to a depth of 300 kilometers.

It carries and fires either two launch pods containing six MLRS rockets each or two Army Tactical Missiles and is capable of firing all current and future MLRS family of rockets and missiles. It operates with the same MLRS command, control, and communications structure and has the same size crew as the M142 HIMARS. MLRS units are organic or assigned to modular fire brigades in support of Brigade Combat Teams.

Armament
The rocket packs were painted with Testor’s “Medium Field Green”. The reason they were not painted with the Gulf Armor Sand is that in the field soldiers did not waste time painting the rocket packs. They may have on the ones that came with the vehicle at the port; but the re-loads weren’t. The rubber parts of the road wheels were painted using a Testor’s “Flat Black” paint pen.

I’ve found this to be a lot easier than using a smaller brush. The hubs were painted the same Gulf Armor Sand that the rest of the body received. The tracks were painted using Testor’s “Steel” with a few drops of flat black mixed in to darken the color a bit. The Steel dries too brightly otherwise. If you have a color that you like better then go ahead and use what you like. Once the tracks were dry I went back and painted the track pads Flat Black.

After I let everything dry for a couple of days I the whole model two coats of Future floor polish to seal the paint. Then I put on the decals. You have the choice of using the decals for either the 1st Cavalry Division or the 42nd Field Artillery Brigade. I gave all the decals a coat of decal set solution too. Then the whole model was given another coat of Future and allowed to dry. Now comes the wash. I’m sort of new to the idea of doing washes so feel free to use whatever technique you like. I mixed approximately two pea sized amounts of artists’ Burnt Umber to ¾ of a baby food jar of turpentine. I’d rather have to put a couple of lighter coats on then have too much on the first one. I held the model up vertically with the front of the vehicle up.

This way when I put the wash on it would run “down” the vehicle going into the panel lines like dust and dirt being pushed by the wind as the vehicle was driven. Also pay attention to the tracks and road wheels too. Do a couple of coats of this wash then put the model down and let everything dry for at least 24 hours. I let mine dry 48 hours just to be sure. To finish up, I gave the whole model a coat of Testor’s Clear Flat Lacquer to get rid of the shine from the future. In conclusion, (finally) the Dragon 1/35 scale MLRS kit is an excellent kit. It does have a few problems; but they seem to be fairly easy to work around. With a little effort this kit can be a real showstopper.

- M270 has two Launch Pod Assemblies (LPA)
- Each LPA contains 6 rockets or 1 missile
- Rocket has 644 bomblets

U.S ARMY M109A6 AND M992A2 PIM MAIN BATTLE TANK IN PROJECT 2017

In parallel to NLOS-C, the US is investing in the M109A6/M992A Paladin Integrated Management (PIM) update, designed to provide greater manoeuvrability, protection and lethality, to enable the M109 to remain in
service until 2060. Both the NLOS-C and PIM vehicles will be manufactured at the same BAE Systems plant. PIM will enable greater commonality with the M2/3 Bradley fleet’s engine, transmission and suspension in the field as well as sharing the NLOS-C’s flick rammer, boosting long term sustainability across Heavy
Brigade Combat Teams.

The M109A6 Paladin Integrated Management (PIM) 155-mm self-propelled howitzer system will be assembled at the same plant in Elgin, Oklahoma, as the Army’s Future Combat Systems’ (FCS’) Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon (NLOS-C), BAE Systems announced on 14 March. The 150,000 square-foot facility is scheduled to be completed in 2009, and the PIM will go into production a few years before the NLOS-C. PIM’s addition to the product line will triple the facility’s projected production volume during its first 10 years. 

M109A6 PALADIN

The M109A6 and M992A, which together comprise the PIM—also known as the M109 Family of Vehicles is part of a sustainability program engineered to improve readiness, avoid components’ obsolescence, reduce the logistical burden and increase sustainability of the platforms out to the year 2060.

M109 upgrades

The PIM lethality upgrade centres on equipping the Paladin to fire Excalibur and precision guidance fuze kits.
The first prototype is due to be submitted for testing in 2009 with the first unit equipped in 2011. A total of 600 vehicles will receive the upgrade with the M109 and M992 PIMs having a projectile stowage capability of 43 and 95 respectively. By 2020, under the National Level Recap programme, all M109s in service will be to this standard.

M109A6 PALADIN

With the platform in such wide service, upgrades are regularly sought. Denel has upgraded UAE M109s to the M109L47 standard, which includes improved gun laying technology in conjunction with RUAG Land
Systems. RUAG have also upgraded a number of Swiss M109s to the L47 standard, chosen because the light weight of the barrel, compared to a L52 solution allows a more cost effective upgrade while obtaining ranges of over 36km. Rheinmetall Waffe Munition has developed a prototype of the M109L52 SPH,
which incorporates elements of the PzH2000 and much improved fire control system.

M992A2 FASSV

BAE Systems also has its own M109 L52 upgrade known as the International Howitzer but this has yet to gain a customer.  The upgrades will allow the PIM to fire Excalibur (XM982) rounds and the precision guidance kit fuzes. The sustainment program will allow maintainability and sustainability of the PIM through commonality with the FCS NLOS-C and the heavy brigade combat team’s (HBCT’s) Bradley fighting vehicle (See “PIM: The Next Generation Paladin” by Major Corey B. Chassé in the January-February edition of Fires).

M992A2 PALADIN

NLOS-C. Projected for fielding in 2017, NLOS-C will give the BCT commander unprecedented responsiveness and lethality. The C-130 and C-17 transportable, 155-mm, 38-caliber cannon has the features common to all FCS, including the battle command system; planning, training and communications
software; maintenance parts and procedures; water generation; resupply implementation; and others. It will be able to move rapidly, stop quickly, deliver lethal first-round effects on target in record time and will handle ammunition loading and firing automatically.

U.S ARMY FCS XM1203 NLOS MAIN BATTLE TANK

The next step for the two-man, FCS XM1203 Non-Line-Of-Sight Cannon (NLOS-C) proto-type is the unmanned test firing of 500 155mm rounds in early 2009. This is designed to obtain safety release for manned firing before transferring several vehicles to the Army’s Evaluation Task Force, part of the 1st Armoured Division for operational evaluation in 2010. Low-rate initial production is planned for 2011.

The vehicle’s hybrid – electric powered design, is based around an MTU diesel together with Honeywell drive motors, QinetiQ drives and Saft batteries. To meet exacting weight requirements, the barrel had to be cut from L39 to L38 resulting in a reduction in range and a drop in the number of rounds carried to just 24, which it can fire in just four minutes of sustained fire and will be supplied by a truck mounted palletized load.

The NLOS-C is said to be able to fire the first four rounds in as many seconds and using the latest Excalibur precision round, can reach up to 35Km. NLOS-C has a goal of service entry of 2017 and has common features across the FCS Manned Ground Vehicle fleet.
