The M2 Bradley is Infantry Fighting Vehicle designed for reconnaissance and to transport a squad of infantry, providing them protection from small arms fire, while also providing firepower to both suppress and eliminate most threats to friendly infantry. It is designed to be highly maneuverable and to be fast enough to keep up with heavy armor during an advance.
Introduced in 1988, the A2 received an improved 600 horsepower engine with an HMPT-500-3 Hydromechanical transmission. Armor was improved, both passive and the ability to mount explosive reactive armor.
The Operation Desert Storm (ODS) and Operation Desert Storm-Engineer (ODS-E) improvements were based on lessons learned during the first Gulf War in 1991. The major improvements included an eye-safe laser rangefinder (ELRF), a tactical navigation system (TACNAV) incorporating the Precision Lightweight GPS Receiver (PLGR) and the Digital Compass Systems (DCS), a missile countermeasure device designed to defeat first-generation wire-guided missiles, and the Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below (FBCB2) Battlefield Command Information System.
The M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle is designed to be fast; it can reach a top speed of 40 miles per hour, can cross any terrain, and transitions to amphibious mode in five minutes. It is used to scout enemy positions and transport troops into hostile territory, while simultaneously providing fire cover to troops and suppressing enemy tanks. The M2 holds a crew of three: a commander, a gunner and a driver and seven fully-equipped soldiers. The 25 mm cannon fires up to 200 rounds per minute and is accurate up to 2500 meters. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
