A NEW CONCEPT IN MOBILE WEAPON SYSTEMS
-
World-wide need for light and inexpensive large caliber fire support weapon
Modularized system that is adaptable in multi-mission environments
Simplified design and operation to reduce crew size Simplified design to reduce maintenance time/life
cycle costs Reduced logistics support requirements Can be integrated to numerous vehicles Adaptable to international 105mm cannons of
different caliber length
WHY THE HAWKEYE?

-
The Hawkeye Weapon Systems was designed as a universal, world-wide howitzer which would provide highly mobile and lightweight
firepower to any army large or small.
Modular Multi-Platform Weapon System
Reduced Recoil Forces Reduced Crew Size Manufacturing Costs
Low Smaller Logistic
Footprint Electrically Operated
w/Manual Backup Emplace/Displace Time
DESIGN PARAMETERS

FT = MA
FT = (M1A1 M2A2)
CONVENTIONAL
SOFT RECOIL
Force of Run-up minus the Force of Recoil = Total Force (FT)
40-60% reduction in Recoil Force transferred to Carriage!
The importance of low recoil forces on carriages cant be over-stated
HYBRID SOFT RECOIL

Low recoil forces allow development
and testing on a variety
of platforms

STRATEGIC DEPLOYABILITY
AIRCRAFT: C-130, C-17, C5A, Helicopters
CARGO SHIPS: Hawkeye small cube and lightweight
RAIL TRANSPORT: Fits narrow tunnels/bridges easily mounted to railcars
GROUND TRANSPORT: Small commercial trailers, military flatbed trucks

-
HMMWV/Hawkeye provides superior mobility due to light weight and fewer soldiers
Self-contained weapon system (one vehicle) for helicopter raids
Reduced logistics footprint: established vehicle (HMMWV) and simple weapon design
Quick emplacement during hasty maneuvers (Shoot and Scoot)
TACTICAL MOBILITY

-
Line Replacement Units easy to remove/install
Recoil Mechanism can be disassembled and rebuilt in a clean motor pool
Common Mechanics Tools no special tools required
Lightweight Components no need for heavy duty lifting devices
