The Army is fielding a family of vehicles called manned ground vehicles MGV. The MGV will perform many of the functions that the Army now uses different types of vehicles to perform but they will all have the same chassis so the majority of their parts etc. will be interchangeable.
These vehicles will be lighter and more mobile than the current vehicles that the Army uses to perform the same functions. At the same time they will employ better technology and better firepower. Advanced technology will also give them very good protection from enemy weapons even though they will be smaller.
Another advantage is that they will be easier to transport because of their smaller size and lighter weight. This will enable the Army to move soldiers and equipment to the place where they are needed quickly and easily. They will also be able to snuff out small fires wherever they may occur.
There are several of these vechiles which we will mention here today they are;
1) The Reconnaissance and Survey Vehicle (RSV) which will be outfitted with sensors which will give it the capability to conduct day and night all weather intelligence gathering missions. I imagine that this vehicle will be used as a scout vehicle for our custom army ring customers who are scouts.
2) The Mounted Combat System (MCS) which is a small version of the tank. This vehicle will have the capability to fire at targets out to 5 miles which will be beyond its line of sight (BLOS). All of our tanker ring customers will be proud of this one.
3) The Non Line of Sight Cannon which is a 155mm cannon. This cannon will have the capability to fire 155mm artillery rounds faster than the current 155mm artillery pieces that the Army currently uses. This artillery piece is so good that it has the capability to fire multiple rounds and have them to impact simultaneously. It does this by shooting each round at a different trajectory. The field artillery ring customers who use this piece of equipment will be able to accomplish more with less personnel.
4) The Non Line of Sight Mortar which is a high angle firing system. The mortar has the ability to fire rounds over the top of mountains or high hills and hit a target on the backside. Our infantry ring customers who are mortarmen will be even more flexible in their ability to perform their mission.
5) The Field Recovery and Maintenance Vehicle (FRMV) will be used to remove broken down or damaged vehicles from the battlefield. It will have a 2-3 man crew of mechanics who can perform quick fixes or evacuate the vehicle and its crew to the rear for higher level repairs. Our military mechanics ring customers will be able to respond faster and provide maintenance support far forward then in the past.
6) The Infantry carrier vehicle (ICV) will carry a crew of 2 along with a 9 man infantry squad. It will be armed with a 30mm MK-14 cannon and a 7.62mm machine gun. It will able to perform day or night and during all types of weather. The infantry ring customers that it carries will have a weapons platform to support them when they dismount.
7) The Medical Vehicle will be able to provide advanced trauma care and life support right on the battlefield. This will be a wonderful addition and will certainly save lives. It will also be used to evacuate the wounded or injured to the rear for even more advanced medical care.
The Command and Control vehicle will be used to maintain command and control on the battlefield. It will be equipped with advanced sensors and communications to help the commander to manage the battlefield. We will have to integrate the design of this vehicle into our military ring designs once it is fielded.
