PALADIN/FAASV

Abstract

The Paladin/Field Artillery Ammunition Support Vehicle (FAASV) Integrated Management (PIM) process will provide for the procurement of the approved obsolescence and sustainment modifications to the 155MM Self-Propelled Howitzer and FAASV, increase reliability and maneuverability as well as reduce life cycle costs. These will include leveraging Bradley common components, integrating the engine, transmission, final drives, and suspension. It will also replace obsolete components such as the Dynamic Reference Unit-Hybrid (DRU-H), hydraulics, fatigued hull structures as well as focus on powertrain, power management and electronic sub-systems.
