The M109A7 is the latest howitzer in the BAE Systems M109 family of vehicles, the primary indirect fire support system for the ABCTs. It uses the existing main armament and cab structure of a Paladin M109A6, and replaces the vehicle’s chassis components with modem components common to the Bradley vehicle. The improved chassis structure provides greater survivability and commonality with the existing systems in the ABCT, reducing operational sustainability costs by replacing obsolete components. The M109A7 is supported by the Army as a vital technology enhancement program to maintain the combat capability of its ABCTs. The M109A7 will solve long-term readiness and modernization needs of the M109 family of vehicles through a critical redesign and production plan that leverages the most advanced technology available today. This state-of-the-art “digital backbone” and power generation capability provides a more robust, survivable and responsive indirect fire support capability for ABCT Soldiers. The M109A7 is considered to be the most cost-effective method to significantly improve sustainability and survivability, while reducing the logistics burden on the ABCT and supporting fires brigades. The program will be executed as a public/private partnership between the Army’s Project Manager-HBCT, Anniston Army Depot and BAE Systems that leverages the strengths of both public and private sectors to ensure the best value for U.S. Soldiers.

HII ensures the flight readiness of aircraft worldwide, providing mission-critical test, weapon loading and hydraulic power generation equipment, parts and services for both military and commercial end markets.

Each SCU can interface with up to eight (8) fuel probes with temperature detection and/or fuel probes with compensators. It will process capacitive and resistive readings to determine the fuel heights for each probe and transmit the calculated fuel volume to the cockpit.

Operate the automated artillery system according to the operating procedure. It is the highest level controller of the automated artillery system that collects status information from each unit device controller that composes the automated artillery system, diagnoses faults and builds a database. - VxWorks operating system - Operating system recovery function - Building a failure history database in the built-in SSD - Check unit control device status information through communication

Our electronics business sector has been producing copper cladded laminates of printed circuit boards for over 20 years. To meet high heat dissipation for the newest electronic technology, we have developed metal based laminates and carbon laminates.

Side shells, wing shells and fuselage structures are made of CFK, GFK, aluminium or organic sheets and get connected during production. Sealants are used to seal the connection surfaces. These are usually two-component polysulphides, which have to be applied in different geometries. Typical applications are: Fillet sealings, oversealings, interface sealings and seal caps. Due to their properties, polysulfides require very low pressure and shear handling. The compressibility of the fillers contained in the medium requires a high level of expertise and a coherent overall system from material removal to application. With manual application, long production times and high material ejection have a negative influence on the complete process. Complex quality standards are required due to the risk of human error. With the in-house developments of the vipro-DUOMIX from ViscoTec, this process can be depicted fully automatically. The individual nozzle design is also adapted to each application. The result is a controlled dosage in compliance with the specifications and at the same time the highest repeat accuracy.

Next-generation wheeled military vehicles are essential to secure maneuverability and survivability for efficient power operation even in the worst weather and terrain conditions, so we have developed a run-flat product with pure domestic technology that can drive to a safe zone where tires can be repaired and replaced with quality that meets the standards of the United States and NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) while ensuring stable steering and driving performance by applying our unique design in the event of tire pressure loss due to tire damage. Based on this, we produce and supply run-flat-related products to wheeled military vehicle manufacturers.
