#DETROIT DIESEL FIRE COMMANDER SETTINGS UPGRADE#
The first major upgrade came in 1964 with the introduction Included both command post (M577) and mortar carrier (M106) configurations. Quickly identified as the foundation for a family of vehicles. The M113s were so successful that they were More importantly, the new vehicles wereĪir transportable, air-droppable, and swimmable, allowing planners to incorporateĪPCs in a much wider range of combat situations, including many "rapidĭeployment" scenarios.

The vehicles were able to carryġ1 soldiers plus a driver and track commander under armor protection across To revolutionize mobile military operations. The original M113 Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) helped The first thing the driver should do in such an emergency is shut off the engine and turn off the master switch to minimize the fire hazard. Once the vehicle stops moving, the crew should get out as fast as possible because spilled fuel and oil may catch on fire. Crew members may receive slight injuries from being thrown against metal parts, but if they try to leave the vehicle, it may roll over and crush them. When roll-over is imminent it is safer to stay in the vehicle than to try to get out while the vehicle is still moving. If it is absolutely necessary, the driver may apply braking action only, and only if the vehicle is approaching a ravine, a cliff, or if other catastrophic outcome, probably resulting in fatalities. brake pedal, laterals, pivot or any type of steering controls causes the vehicle to pull to the active or good track and could result in a roll-over. The driver must immediately release the accelerator and let the vehicle coast to a stop. If the M113 loses a track, breaks a track shoe or the vehicle throws a track, extreme caution must be exercised in maintaining control.
The vehicle is not mission capable if any one track shoe is damaged.
The vehicle is capable of "swimming" bodies of water. This distinct weight advantage allows the M113 to utilize a relatively small engine to power the vehicle, as well as carry a large payload cross-country. The M113 is built of aircraft quality aluminum which allows it to possess some of the same strengths as steel at a much lighter weight. 50 Cal heavy barrel machine gun, and the secondary armament is a single. It is fitted with a 2 stroke six cylinder Detroit diesel providing power through a 3 speed automatic gearbox and steering differential. Infantry forces on the mechanized battlefield. The M113 APC was the first modern "battle taxi" developed to transport More than 80,000 M113 Family of Vehicle (FOV) systems haveĪre being built while existing chassis are being upgraded to modern configurations. Inventories, other FOV members are being upgraded, reconfigured, and introduced Some older M113 derivatives are being retired and removed from selected Many of these modifications have been developedīy foreign governments to meet their specific national requirements. Into more than 40 identified specific variants, with many times that number Have entered service in more than 50 countries. Since their initial introduction in 1960, M113-based systems M1068 Standard Integrated Command Post System (SICPS) Carrier.
M730 Guided Missile Equipment Carrier (Chaparral).M113 Armored Medical Evacuation Vehicle AMEV.Over the next 10-15 years, the majority of these systems will be converted to the A3 configuration. Today's M113 Family of Vehicles is composed of a mix of derivative systems consisting of the A1, A2, and A3 configurations. The M113 Family includes approximately 12 variants of light armored tracked vehicles used in a variety of combat and combat support roles. The vehicle is capable of: amphibious operations in streams and lakes extended cross country travel over rough terrain and high speed operation on improved roads and highways. The M113-family was developed from M59 and M75 by Ford and Kaiser Aluminium and Chemical Co.
