As threats evolve across the world, the U.S. Army must keep pace with its adversaries' modernization efforts. Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster, Director, Army Capabilities Integration Center and Deputy Commanding General, Futures, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, has led the charge to enhance the lethality of the Army's Brigade Combat Teams (BCT).
Moog has carried out a live fire demonstration of a 30mm direct fire cannon on the Reconfigurable Integrated-Weapons Platform (RIWP), the company announced on 14 December.
The M-ATV Assault variant on display is outfitted with a Moog Reconfigurable Integrated-weapons Platform (RIwP). Along with the same Orbital ATK M230 LF 30mm lightweight automatic chain gun as on the JLTV variant, the RIwP mounts a Javelin missile, an M249 5.56mm machine gun, and a DRS Long Range AIM target acquisition sensor suite.
