Our mtu Series 199 has written an unrivalled success story with around 4000 units produced since 2000. Now a more powerful member will become part of the engine family: The future 10-cylinder variant will cover a power range of up to 1100 kW and will also be able to power vehicles weighing 50 to 70 tonnes.   The 6- and 8-cylinder variants are used, for example, in the Boxer 8x8 wheeled vehicle, the tracked vehicles based on the ASCOD platform; the Ajax family vehicles; the next generation of US combat vehicles such as the M10 Booker; and the Borsuk infantry fighting vehicle. With outputs from 260 to 800 kW it is well known in many military land defence programmes and has proven itself in all extreme climatic conditions in more than 15 countries. The logistical uniformity, with identical components within this engine family from the 6-cylinder to the 10-cylinder variants, will help the armed forces to significantly reduce their logistics costs. Thanks to the modular design principle of the mtu Series 199 and its compact dimensions, the 10-cylinder engine can be used not only for new vehicles but also for the repowering of existing vehicles. #governmental #landdefence #mtusolutions

Military vehicles have become an order of magnitude heavier despite Army efforts to reduce weight. Capability wins over weight or efficiency. Increases in performance, materials, and efficiency almost always feed SWAPc trades rather than actually reducing weight. Note the two vehicles out of alignment on both rows. Those were deliberate efforts focused on decreasing weight for intertheater mobility (MRZR and Stryker). Note also the Stryker program gave up on its original target weight for C-130 mobility.

This is one powerful asset.

GM Defense History Series: For more than a century, General Motors has answered America’s call and supported the U.S. Armed Forces in every major military conflict, and origins of GM Defense date back more than 100 years in our company’s history. As we continue to share our important story, we're launching a new weekly history series shining a light on GM Defense's legacy of contributions across land, air, sea and space. As various GM automotive divisions first rallied their incredible manufacturing might to produce thousands of vehicles, engines, aircraft, munitions and other defense and government products, GM Defense continues the legacy today and into the future.   Journeying back to the era of World War I, here’s a look at the 1917 GMC Model 16AA WW1 Military Ambulance. 🚑 This legendary vehicle served on the front lines, ferrying wounded Soldiers and vital medical supplies, embodying innovation and valor. GMC’s Model 16, selected as the standard ¾-ton truck by the US Army, saw over 13,000 units deployed for military use, with many repurposed as ambulances in support of the war effort. Telling of the times, the truck's maximum speed was 25 miles per hour and was facilitated by its 30 horsepower engine. Out of the 13,316 Model 16 trucks manufactured, the majority were designated for military purposes. While GMC primarily handled ambulance assembly, the demand quickly outpaced the production capabilities of GM's Pontiac division facility. To address the increased demand, kits were developed, containing all the necessary components for ambulance construction and assembly. The 16AA was an exception vehicle, supporting WWI war efforts and American warfighters on a global scale. #wearegm #GMDefense #WW1 #MilitaryHistory #gmdhistoryseries

This... M109 Paladin full loading procedure. The M109 is an American 155 mm turreted self-propelled howitzer, first introduced in the early 1960s to replace the M44. It has been upgraded a number of times, most recently to the M109A7. The widely used M109 carries a 155-mm howitzer and is the principal self-propelled artillery support for U.S. Army divisions. It is a large tracked vehicle with a fully traversable turret and prominent bustle. Early variants had a short, 23-caliber barrel. Later versions, including the M109A6 Paladin, have a 39-caliber barrel. The M109 has a crew of six: commander, gunner, driver and three ammunition members. The hull is made of all-welded aluminum armor, which protects against small-arms fire and shell splinters. Be safe y'all, and if you want to contribute to my grandsons cause it would be greatly appreciated.
