Description
The JLTV M12788A is a specialized variant of the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) designed for military operations that require heavy firepower and enhanced situational awareness. This modified version combines the robustness and mobility of the JLTV with an integrated M153 Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS II) system.
The M1278A1 HGC features a durable and heavily armoured structure that provides increased protection for the crew against various threats on the battlefield. It is equipped with a powerful engine and advanced suspension system, allowing it to operate in challenging terrains and provide superior off-road performance.
The M153 CROWS II is a remotely operated weapon station mounted on the M1278A1 HGC. It offers two primary weapon options, typically a .50 calibre heavy machine gun and a 40mm automatic grenade launcher, providing the vehicle with versatile firepower to engage both infantry and light armoured targets.
The CROWS II system allows the gunner to operate the weapons from within the safety of the vehicle, providing improved accuracy and situational awareness.
Additionally, the M1278A1 HGC can transport a crew of up to four personnel, including the driver, gunner, and additional occupants. It offers a spacious interior and ergonomic seating arrangements to ensure comfort during extended missions.
The integration of the M153 CROWS II onto the JLTV M1278A1 HGC enhances the vehicle’s operational effectiveness, enabling it to provide fire support, conduct reconnaissance, and perform convoy protection missions.
The combination of heavy firepower, advanced protection, and mobility makes it a valuable asset on the modern battlefield.
Please note that the kit also includes a set of replacement resin wheels.
