High Survivability Test Vehicle (Lightweight)

Development
The High Survivability Test Vehicle – Lightweight (HSTV-L) was developed under the direction of the TACOM project manager for Armored Combat Vehicle Technology at the US Army Tank-Automotive Command, Warren, Michigan.
Following the field testing, the HSTV(L) is being used for experiments in fire-control and stabilisation. Stabilisation processing has been converted from analogue to digital. Various stabilization control algorithms are being tried along with different combinations of transducers to determine effects on gun pointing performance and the possibility of eliminating some of the expensive sensors such as gyros. The TACOM Motion Base Simulator, a huge shaker table, is being used to provide terrain input. These tests began in September 1982 and are to continue for a year or more.

Description
The high survivability of this vehicle is derived from the low silhouette, high horsepower per ton, duplication of sights, improved night vision capabilities, and the lack of specific driver and gunner controls. Any crewman can shoot and both hull crewmen can drive.
Although a test vehicle, the HSTV(L) is not a variable parameter test bed but an exercise in system realism for the three-man crew, hunter/killer fire control concept and low silhouette.
Armament for the HSTV(L) consists of a 7.62 mm M240 machine gun for both commander and coaxial position and a 75 mm smooth bore cannon. The cannon employs a revolving breech and telescoping ammunition which enables the automatic loader to load one round per 11/2 seconds. The in battery-firing recoil mechanism has a fixed piston that allows the greater mass of recoil cylinder and breech mechanism parts to recoil during firing. The 75 mm gun and automatic ammunition feeder are designed and made by ARES Inc, Port Clinton, Ohio.
Texas Instruments supplies the fire-control system which uses the hunter/killer concept. The commander uses a stabilised hunter sight that revolves independently of the turret. Once a target is selected on this sight, the turret and killer sight can be aligned with it. The gunner can then destroy the selected target while the commander returns to search with his hunter sight. Both direct vision and FLIR (Forward Looking Infra-red) optics are available for either sight. The commander can use either a binocular direct view optic eyepiece for improved clarity and reduced power drain, or a video screen. In the hull, a video screen visible to both gunner and driver receives transmissions from hunter and killer sights.
The electronic fire control processor uses inputs from the sights, crosswind sensor, muzzle reference, vertical reference system, and an eye-safe CO2 laser rangefinder to compute proper gun pointing. The laser rangefinder is supplied by Raytheon. Automatic tracking and rate aid tracking can also be accomplished by the fire control processor.
Both elevation and azimuth stabilisation is provided for the 75 mm gun with a slaved killer sight and an indepen?dently stabilised hunter sight. Fire-on-the-move capabilities are improved by decoupling the yaw motion of the hull from the turret. Cadillac Gage supplies the gun control and stabilisation system for HSTV(L).
Propulsion for the HSTV(L) comes from a gas turbine engine mounted beside the transmission with a cross-drive gearbox connecting the two. Avco Lycoming supplies the nonregenerative 650 horsepower modified helicopter gas turbine. The transmission is an X-300 Detroit Diesel Allison automatic four-speed with lock-up torque converter. Auxili?ary power is provided by two 250 amp generators and a 60 gpm hydraulic pump. The hydraulic pump supplies power for the engine compartment mounted oil cooler fan and through a hydraulic slip ring; it also supplies power to the gun control system and automatic ammunition loader in the turret.
Teledyne supply the fixed height hydro-pneumatic sus?pension system. A 355.6 mm jounce and 127 mm rebound travel is possible due to the small 558.8 mm diameter road wheels. The track is an improved version of the type found on the M551 Sheridan.
The man-machine interface for the HSTV(L) is of prime importance. The use of the hunter/killer concept allows both the gunner and the commander to contribute as much information as possible towards the neutralisation of the enemy. The use of pressure sensitive isometric rate controller thumb switches allows for more precise gun control while firing on the move. The driver and gunner seating positions are semi-reclined for maximum comfort in a minimum space. The tv screens considerably improve fire-on-the-move sighting clarity.

高生存能力試驗車（輕型）

（Date：2008.3.31）

?

?

發(fā)展歷程

?

輕型高生存能力試驗車（HSTV-L）是在密歇根州沃倫市美國陸軍坦克汽車司令部裝甲戰(zhàn)車技術(shù)TACOM項目經(jīng)理的指導(dǎo)下開發(fā)的。

?

在現(xiàn)場測試之后，HSTV（L）又被投入（車輛）火災(zāi)控制和（炮塔）穩(wěn)定性能的實驗。穩(wěn)定處理已從模擬測試轉(zhuǎn)換為數(shù)字化測試。（研究人員）正在嘗試各種穩(wěn)定控制算法以及換能器的不同組合，以確定對火炮指向性能的影響以及拆除一些昂貴傳感器（如陀螺儀）的可能。TACOM運動基地模擬器是一個巨大的振動臺，用于提供地形的輸入。【譯者注：即該儀器可用來模擬相關(guān)地形數(shù)據(jù)】這些測試于1982年9月開始，并將持續(xù)一年或更長時間。

?

?

車輛特征

這種車輛的高生存能力源于其低輪廓、高功重比、雙瞄準(zhǔn)鏡、改進的夜視能力以及不需要特定的駕駛員和炮手來控制（相關(guān)設(shè)備）。任何乘員都可以進行射擊，兩名車體中的乘員都可以駕駛。

?

盡管HSTV（L）是一輛試驗車，但它不是隨時可改變參數(shù)的試驗臺，而是三人乘組對系統(tǒng)的真實感，獵人/殺手（搜尋/擊毀）火控理念和低矮輪廓的練習(xí)。

?

HSTV（L）的武器包括一門7.62毫米M240機槍和同軸位置的一門75毫米滑膛加農(nóng)炮都（可以）由指揮官控制。該炮采用旋轉(zhuǎn)后膛和伸縮式彈藥設(shè)計，使自動裝彈機能夠每5.5秒裝彈一發(fā)。炮臺內(nèi)發(fā)射后坐力機構(gòu)有一個固定的活塞，允許更大質(zhì)量的反沖缸和后膛機構(gòu)部件在射擊過程中進行反沖。75毫米火炮和自動裝彈機由俄亥俄州克林頓港ARES公司設(shè)計和制造。

?

德州儀器公司提供使用獵人/殺手理念的消防控制系統(tǒng)。指揮官使用穩(wěn)定的獵人瞄準(zhǔn)器，能獨立于炮塔旋轉(zhuǎn)（來搜索目標(biāo)）。一旦在瞄準(zhǔn)鏡上選擇了目標(biāo)，炮塔和殺手瞄準(zhǔn)鏡就可以與之對準(zhǔn)。炮手可以摧毀選定的目標(biāo)，而指揮官則可以用他的獵人瞄準(zhǔn)鏡返回搜索。直視和前視紅外（FLIR）光學(xué)系統(tǒng)均可用于任何一種瞄準(zhǔn)鏡。指揮官可以使用雙目直視光學(xué)目鏡來提高清晰度并減少功耗，也可以使用視頻屏幕。在車體中，炮手和駕駛員都能看到由視頻屏幕接收來自獵人和殺手瞄準(zhǔn)器的傳輸畫面。

?

電子火控計算機使用來自瞄準(zhǔn)器、側(cè)風(fēng)傳感器、火炮射擊諸元、垂直參考系統(tǒng)和對眼安全的二氧化碳激光測距儀（等儀器數(shù)據(jù)）的輸入來計算正確的炮口指向。激光測距儀由雷神公司提供。自動跟蹤和速率輔助跟蹤也可以由火控計算機完成。

?

75毫米火炮配備了一個被動型殺手瞄準(zhǔn)鏡和一個獨立且具有自穩(wěn)能力的獵人瞄準(zhǔn)鏡，可以實現(xiàn)仰角和方位角的穩(wěn)定。通過將車體的偏航運動與炮塔（的運動）解除連鎖，提高了其移動射擊能力。Cadillac Gage為HSTV（L）提供火炮的控制和穩(wěn)定系統(tǒng)。

?

HSTV（L）的動力來自安裝在變速器旁邊的燃?xì)廨啓C發(fā)動機，一個交叉驅(qū)動齒輪箱將（燃?xì)廨啓C與變速箱）連接起來。Avco Lycoming提供非再生型650馬力的改裝直升機燃?xì)廨啓C。變速器是一個X-300底特律柴油Allison自動四速鎖止變矩器。輔助電源由兩臺250安培的發(fā)電機和一臺60加侖/分鐘的液壓泵提供。液壓泵為安裝在發(fā)動機艙的油冷卻器風(fēng)扇和液壓滑環(huán)提供動力；它還為炮塔內(nèi)的火炮控制系統(tǒng)和自動裝彈機提供動力。

?

Teledyne提供固定高度的液壓氣動懸掛（液氣懸掛）系統(tǒng)。由于直徑為558.8mm的負(fù)重輪，（理論上）可以實現(xiàn)355.6mm的顛簸行程和127mm的回彈行程。這條履帶是M551 謝里登（Sheridan）系列上的改進型。

?

HSTV（L）的人機功效至關(guān)重要。獵人/殺手理念的使用使炮手和指揮官都能為消滅敵人提供盡可能多的信息。使用壓敏等距速率控制器（再加上）拇指開關(guān)，可以（讓乘員）在移動射擊時進行更精確的火炮控制。駕駛員和炮手的座位是半傾斜的，以在最小的空間內(nèi)獲得最大的舒適度。電視屏幕也大大提高了移動射擊時瞄準(zhǔn)的清晰度。

Rapid Deployment Force Light Tank (RDF/LT)

Development
The Rapid Deployment Force Light Tank (RDF/LT) has been designed as a private venture by AAI Corporation which has already built the prototype of the High Survivability Test Vehicle (Lightweight) under contract to the United States Army Tank-Automotive Command.
The prototype was shown for the first time in October 1980 when it was said by the company that it could be in service by 1984, if a decision on production was taken in the immediate future.
The vehicle is airportable: the Lockheed C-5B transport aircraft can carry eight RDF/LTs, the C-130 and C-141 could each carry two and the Navy/Marine Corps CH-53E helicopter can carry one slung under its fuselage.
This vehicle, with some changes and improvements in armour protection, is AAl’s entry in the MPGS competition.

Description
The hull of the RDF/LT is made of all-welded aluminium armour with the driver sitting at the front of the hull on the left and the commander/gunner to his right. Both crew members have a single-piece hatch cover that opens outwards and has three integrated periscopes. Between the driver and commander/gunner, in the upper part of the glacis plate, is the hull-mounted auxiliary sight.
The main armament consists of a 75 mm ARES cannon mounted in the centre of the hull behind the crew. The 75 mm ARES cannon is fed from an automatic magazine holding 60 rounds of APFSDS and multi-purpose ammunition and when used for indirect fire has a maximum range of 12 000 metres. To the right of the main armament there is a coaxial 7.62 mm machine gun.
Mounted above and behind the main armament is the stabilised rotary head which is the primary sight. The main armament is fully stabilised and the fire-control system includes a digital computer. The fire-control system is similar to that of the HSTV(L) and is fully described in that entry.
The engine and transmission are mounted at the rear of the hull and the complete powerpack is on extensible rails to facilitate maintenance in the field.
The torsion bar suspension consists of five dual rubbertyred road wheels with a drive sprocket at the rear, idler at the front and one return roller.
Appliqué steel armour can be fitted to the RDF/LT for increased protection. As an alternative to the 75 mm ARES cannon which is mounted in an unmanned turret and fitted to the prototype vehicle, an AAI Universal One-Man Turret which is also armed with a 75 mm ARES cannon, fed from an automatic loader, can be fitted.

Variants
In 1982 AAI announced a new version of this vehicle fitted with a new one-man turret also armed with the ARES 75 mm automatic cannon. This has a single-piece hatch cover opening to the rear, six periscopes for all round observation and forward and to the right of the hatch is a stabilised sight for target acquisition/firing.

?13.2 Tonne Rapid Deployment Force Light Tank (RDF/LT)

Development
The original AAI Rapid Deployment Force Light Tank (RDF/T), described in the preceding entry, cannot be exported at present as the ARES 75 mm automatic cannon has not yet completed its US Army funded development.
In 1982 AAI announced that they had built the prototype of a 13.2 tonne RDF/LT fitted with a new two-man turret armed with the same 76 mm M32 gun as the M41 light tank’s. This was phased out of US Army service some years ago, although it remains in service with many other countries. The prototype uses the chassis of the original RDF/LT but production vehicles would have a slightly different hull and the description below relates to this. A Lockheed C-130H aircraft can carry two 13.2 tonne RDF/LTs.

Description
The hull of the RDF/LT is of all-welded aluminium construction. The driver is seated at the front of the hull on the left with 30 rounds of 76 mm ammunition stowed horizon?tally to his right. The driver has a single-piece hatch cover that opens to the left, in the forward part of this are three periscopes the centre one of which can be replaced by a passive periscope for night driving.
The all-welded turret is in the centre of the vehicle with the commander seated on the left and the gunner on the right. Both have a single-piece hatch cover, six periscopes for all round observation and an M32 periscope for aiming the armament. The gunner’s M32 periscope incorporates a laser rangefinder.
Main armament consists of a 76 min high velocity M32 gun which is installed in the M41 tank. In addition to the range of ammunition originally developed for this weapon, and fully described in the entry for the M41 light tank, AAI have developed a new round of APFSDS-T ammunition based on their experience in developing ammunition for the ARES 75 mm automatic. This has already been tested in Denmark during trials with an M41 light tank. According to AAI, this projectile has three times the probability of killing a T-62 tank at a normal combat range of 1500 metres than the 105 mm M456 HEAT-T round and only slightly less kill probability at a similar range to the 105 men M735 APFSDS-T round. A 7.62 mm M240 machine gun is mounted coaxially with the main armament.
A Cadillac Gage stabilisation and weapons control system is fitted as standard enabling the vehicle to fire on the move with a high probability of a first round hit. Optional fire-control systems include an M32 sight with an AN/VSG-2 Tank Thermal Sight or a digital tank fire-control system with the AN/VSG-2 Tank Thermal Sight, AN/GVS-5 laser rangefinder and a digital ballistic computer.
The engine and transmission are mounted at the rear of the hull and the complete powerpack is on extensible rails to facilitate maintenance in the field.
The torsion bar suspension consists of five dual rubber tyred road wheels with the drive sprocket at the rear, idler at the front and one return roller which is positioned above the second and third roadwheel stations. Track is the M113.

13.2噸快速部署部隊輕型坦克

?

發(fā)展

前面條目中描述的最初的AAI快速部署部隊輕型坦克（RDF/T）目前無法出口，因為ARES 75mm自動加農(nóng)炮尚未完成美國陸軍資助的開發(fā)。

?

1982年，AAI宣布他們已經(jīng)制造了一輛13.2噸重的RDF/LT的原型車，該車配備了一個新的雙人炮塔，配備了與M41輕型坦克相同的76毫米M32炮。盡管它仍在許多其他國家服役，但幾年前它已被美國陸軍逐步淘汰。原型使用了原始RDF/LT的底盤，但生產(chǎn)的車輛的車體略有不同，下面的描述與此相關(guān)。一架洛克希德C-130H飛機可以攜帶兩架13.2噸重的RDF/LT。

?如下圖：

?

車輛特征

?

RDF/LT的車體采用全焊接鋁結(jié)構(gòu)。駕駛員坐在左側(cè)車體前部，（它的）右側(cè)水平存放著30發(fā)76毫米彈藥。駕駛員有一個向左側(cè)打開的艙蓋，在艙蓋的前部有三個潛望鏡，其中一個可以被被動潛望鏡取代，用于夜間駕駛。

?

全焊接炮塔位于車輛中心，指揮官坐在左側(cè)，炮手坐在右側(cè)。兩者都有一個單獨的艙蓋，六個用于全方位觀察的潛望鏡和一個用于瞄準(zhǔn)武器的M32潛望鏡。炮手的M32潛望鏡包含了一個激光測距儀。

?

主要武器包括一門安裝在M41坦克上的76mm口徑的M32高射速炮。除了最初為該武器開發(fā)的彈藥種類，并在M41輕型坦克的條目中充分描述之外，AAI還根據(jù)其為ARES? 75mm自裝填炮研發(fā)彈藥的經(jīng)驗，開發(fā)了新式的APFSDS-T彈藥。這（種彈藥）已經(jīng)在丹麥的M41輕型坦克的試驗中進行了測試。根據(jù)AAI的說法，這種炮彈在1500米的正常作戰(zhàn)范圍內(nèi)擊毀T-62坦克的概率是105毫米M456（使用） HEAT-T炮彈的三倍，在與105mm的M735 APFSDS-T炮彈相似的范圍內(nèi)擊毀的概率略低。一挺7.62毫米M240機槍與主武器同軸安裝。

?

標(biāo)配凱迪拉克Gage穩(wěn)定和武器控制系統(tǒng)，使車輛能夠在行駛中開火，第一輪命中的可能性很高?？蛇x的火力控制系統(tǒng)包括帶AN/VSG-2坦克熱成像瞄準(zhǔn)鏡的M32瞄準(zhǔn)鏡，或帶AN/VGG-2坦克熱成像瞄準(zhǔn)器的數(shù)字坦克火力控制系統(tǒng)、AN/GVS-5激光測距儀和數(shù)字彈道計算機。

?

發(fā)動機和變速箱安裝在車體后部，整個動力裝置安裝在可擴展的導(dǎo)軌上，以便于（在被擊傷時進行）現(xiàn)場維護。

?

扭桿懸架由五個雙橡膠輪胎車輪組成，驅(qū)動鏈輪位于后部，引導(dǎo)輪位于前部，一個回位滾柱位于第二和第三車輪上方。履帶使用的是M113的。
