Standoff Volcano Obstacle (SAVO) Adv Tech
Abstract
Project BU5 XM343 Standoff Activated Volcano Obstacle (SAVO) supports the United States Army Europe (USAREUR) Operational Needs Statement (ONS) # 18-22702 as well as revisions to the Multiple Delivery Mine System (Volcano) Joint Service Operational Requirement (JSOR) # 0683. This capability will allow for a formation of pre-emplaced directed obstacles that can be initiated remotely via fielded wired or wireless initiation systems. XM343 SAVO can be initiated via one of three fielded systems; the M7 Spider Networked Munition System, the MK152/M156 Remote Activation Munition Systems (RAMS), or the CD450-4J Blasting Machine. SAVO can operate independently but can be used in conjunction with the Top Attack systems such as the XM204 Interim Top Attack system to create a complex obstacle. The primary item is the newly developed SAVO base plate which is placed on the ground and has four ports to connect fielded Volcano mine canisters. The base plate is packaged with ancillary components to aid in emplacement such as initiation wire, stabilizing ground stakes, sand bags, and canister carrying straps. If the emplaced obstacle is not initiated, SAVO can be recovered for future re-deployment. This item is compliant with the DoD Landmine Policy and supports the U.S. Army modernization priorities in support of Multi Domain Operations (MDO). SAVO Trainer base plates will reflect the form, fit, function, and weight of the tactical XM343 SAVO base plate. Trainer base plates interface with the fielded Volcano training canisters and are reusable. Upon receipt of a launch signal from a fielded initiation system, the training base plates produce sight and sound effects to effectively represent the SAVO obstacle's mine launch and armed status functionality.
