M577A3 Command Post Carrier


M577指揮車
The M577A3 Tracked Command Post Carriers are full-tracked lightweight vehicles used as an operational staff office and command post. The M577A3 incorporates the RISE powerpack and improved driver controls.

The vehicle is C130 air transportable, however it is not air droppable.

Additional materiel changes, outside of the A3 RISE Block Modifications, could also be applied to the M577. PM-M113's intention is to block the materiel changes as funding becomes available.

5 KW APU Fuel Lines This M577 change allows replacement of the 4.2 KW gasoline powered auxiliary power unit (APU) on the M577A2 with the 5 KW diesel powered APU.

Other M577 changes could include:

Armor Enhancements
BCIS
Contact Spall Liner
Driver's Night Viewer
EPLRS
Improved Cold Start
M17 Laser Protection
PLGR Brackets
Quick Erect Antenna Mast
Swim Mod
VIS
Water/Ration Heater
The XM577A4 Stretch has an interior volume of 502 cubic feet (an increase of 108 cubic feet) and a payload capacity of over 5000 pounds, making it equivalent in capacity to the S-280 tactical shelter. The XM577A4 Stretch Armored Tactical Command and Control System is a prototype Stretch version of the M577A3 Armored Command Post. By using the RISE power package, the vehicle incorporates a sixth road wheel and longer hull to provide more interior space and increased payload capacity.The XM577A4 Stretch is capable of carrying bolt-on armor as well as crew compartment spall liners for additional side and top attack protection. The XM577A4 stretch was developed by United Defense, L.P. as an Independent Research and Development program. This vehicle is currently being considered as a platform for Hazardous Material Operational Roles.

營級的 M577A3 指揮車，機動中的 C² 表現較佳，作戰參謀可以在乘
員艙內監控戰況，也有若干防護力，但速度上跟不上 M1A1 戰車及 M2 裝
步戰鬥車，裝甲老舊退化，人體工學的設計也是30年前的過時水準。

　M577裝甲指揮車 M577堪稱是「美軍的流動戰術指揮所」，外觀和M113的最大區別是車體後部加高，指揮員可站立操作。M577A3使用升級的動力系統和新的駕駛系統，具備水陸兩棲行駛能力，可由C-130運輸機空運，但不能空投；M577A3用5千瓦的柴油發電機替代了A2型的4.2千瓦的汽油發電機，作為通信設備的電源。其他改進包括：增強了裝甲防護；採用了防崩落襯層、駕駛員夜視系統、M17潛望鏡和可快速收放的天線等。美軍中裝備的主要是M577A1／A2型。
