Paladin/FAASV
Abstract
Project Paladin/FAASV to modernize the M109 Family of Vehicles (FoV) to improve performance and address expected changes in the operational profile. The M109 FoV is an indirect fire weapon system with the ability of delivering accurate, long range, lethal and non-lethal cannon fires in support of both Combined Arms Maneuver (CAM) and Wide Area Security (WAS) operations. The M109 FoV can be employed within any Brigade Combat Team formation to neutralize, suppress, or destroy enemy forces, while providing protected transport of a field artillery howitzer section on the modern battlefield. Funding also supports work being completed at the Watervliet Arsenal (WVA) in Watervliet, NY. This effort will include system usage and optimization studies, simulations, development engineering, prototype development and validation for incremental upgrades on the M109 FoVs.
