Kusimbisa mauto akareruka - Mobile Protected Firepower
General Dynamics Land Systems chikumbiro muchirongwa cheMPF-Griffin. Chombo chayo chikuru "chiedza" 120-mm XM360 cannon, inoshandiswa pasi pechirongwa cheFuture Combat Systems.
Kwenguva yakareba, pfungwa yakapararira muUnited States kuti Mauto eUnited States aizorwa zvakanyanya nemuvengi asina simba mune zvose, pasi apo mauto epasi "akarodzwa". Kwete chete shanduko yepasirese geopolitical, asiwo asymmetric kunetsana kunomanikidzwa kuyedza fungidziro dzisiridzo.
Kupera kweCold War kwakakonzera "kuwedzera" kwemauto munyika dzeNATO, kusanganisira United States. Mushure mekuputsika kweUSSR uye "kunze kwekufema" umo hupfumi hweJapan hwakawira, zvaiita sekuti mauto uye ehupfumi hegemony yeUnited States yakanga isingazununguki. Chokwadika, hapana aiva nefungidziro dzipi nedzipi dzokuti hondo dzose dzakanga dzapera. Zvisinei, kurwisana kukuru kwaisanganisira mapato akaenzana, akanga asina zvombo zvenyukireya chete, asiwo nhamba huru yezvombo zvamazuva ano, yaizova nhoroondo. Rimwe divi raifanira kuva simba guru, kureva kuti, US se "mupurisa wepasi rose", dzimwe nguva achitsigirwa nevabatsiri, uye imwe nyika kana boka rehurumende rinotyisidzira kune zvido zvehegemon neboka re-co- nyika dzine simba. Mushure mekukurumidza kukundwa kwe "bandit state" (ona mashandiro e "Iraqi rusununguko"), mauto akashongedzerwa emasimba makuru aifanira kufamba zvakanaka kuenda kune yainzi Stabilization Mission. Mukuita, izvi zvaireva "kugadzwa" kwemasimba matsva anotsamira zvachose uye kutorwa kwenyika yakakundwa kuitira kuchengetedza vatongi vatsva. Zviitiko zveparutivi zvaifanirwa kusanganisira mutengo wakaderera uye kurasikirwa.
Mauto akareruka zvakareruka
Chishandiso chikuru chekushandisa mutemo wakadai chaive chekuve zvikwata zvemauto eUS Army - IBCT neSBCT (zvimwe muzvinyorwa zveArmored Brigade Combat Team - pfungwa yemauto ane zvombo uye mechanized eUS Army muWiT 2. / 2017 uye Mugwagwa unoenda kuStryker Dragoon transporter paWiT 3/2017), nekuda kwehunyanzvi hwavo hwepamusoro, hwekushanda uye hwehunyanzvi hwekufamba. Nekuda kweizvi, vaifanira kunge vari vekutanga kuenda kumberi uye kukwanisa kutarisana nemuvengi mune chero mamiriro ezvinhu. Zvishandiso zvekutanga zveIBCT zvaive zvekuve mota dzakareruka dzemhuri yeHMMWV nemarori eFMTV, pfuti dzakadhonzwa nemadhaka, nezvimwewo, izvo zvaifanira kunge zvakafambisa kufambiswa kwemhepo munguva pfupi. Kugona kweSBCT kwainyanya kupihwa neStryker wheeled armored mota, iyo M1128 MGS mota yekutsigira moto ine 105-mm cannon yaive nemoto mukuru. Zvakare, pavakasikwa, chimwe chezvainyanya kudiwa chaive chakakwira hurongwa hwekufamba, izvo zvaifanira kunge zvakaderedza mwero wezvombo.
Chokwadi chekunetsana muIraq neAfghanistan zvakakurumidza kusimbisa fungidziro idzi. Motokari dzisina zvombo zvishoma uye dzisina pfuti hadzina kupa dziviriro yakakwana kuvarwi veAmerica (nekuda kwekuti vakazotsiviwa nemotokari dzechikwata cheMRAP), saka havana kukwanisa kuita mabasa avakapihwa. Kazhinji, magandanga echiIslam kuMiddle East akakonzera dambudziko rakawanda kuUS Army. Dzaive nengozi kwete chete mukuhwandirana kwakanangana nekushandisa mwenje yekudzivirira matangi zvombo, asiwo mukushandiswa kukuru kwemigodhi nemidziyo inoputika (IEDs).
Sekuda kwekutanga, veAmerica vakanyanya kusimbisa kupfuura kare pakubatana pakati pe IBCT neSBCT neABCT kuitira kuti, kana zvichidiwa, masoja emhando dzakareruka awane rubatsiro rwematangi eAbrams nemotokari dzehondo dzeBradley. Mukuwedzera, kukosha kwekuongororwa kwemhepo kwakawedzera nekuda kwekuwedzera kwekushandiswa kwemotokari dzemhepo dzisina kugadzirwa uye kupararira kwemifananidzo yesatellite. Panguva imwecheteyo, fungidziro dzekutanga nezveramangwana "modular brigade" yakaedzwa, iyo yaifanirwa kuve hwaro hwechimiro cheUS Army mushure mekushandiswa kwechirongwa cheFCS. Pakupedzisira, muna 2009, FCS yakavharwa, uye panzvimbo pacho vakasarudza kuvandudza midziyo iripo, kunyanya munzira yekuwedzera kushorwa (ona, kunyanya, WiT 5/2016). Panguva imwecheteyo, zvirongwa zvakatanga kushandura zvizvarwa zveUS Army zvombo kwenguva yakareba. Mutsivi weHMMWV ichava JLTV (Joint Light Tactical Vehicle) kana Oshkosh L-ATV inotsigirwa neinoreruka asi yakawanda mobile GMV (Ground Mobility Vehicle). Iyo yekupedzisira ichawedzerwa neLRV (yakajeka reconnaissance mota). GMV neLVV zvinofanirwa kuunzwa kuti zvishandiswe mune inonzi inonzi medium term, i.e. muna 2022-2031. Panguva imwecheteyo, hafu-yechimurenga mota, hafu yekudzokera kumazano ekare, inofanirwa kuratidzwa - iyo Mobile Protected Firepower (MPF, yakasununguka yakashandurwa Armored Fire Support Vehicle), tangi rakareruka remauto emhepo.
