BAE Systems M113 Vehicle-M1068A3

M1068a3. The M1068A3 Standard Integrated Command Post System is the latest derivation of the M577 Tracked Command Post Carrier and is a member of the M113 Vehicle Family developed and produced by BAE Systems. The M1068A3 SICPS vehicle is designed to carry the Army Tactical Command and Control System (ATCCS). Improvements to the original M577 Command Post include provisions for a two workstation ATCCS system, improved work areas, AC/DC power and communications distribution systems, NBC protection and a 10 meter telescoping antenna mast. The M1068A3 chassis incorporates all of the mobility, reliability, and maintainability improvements of the M113A3, including powertrain, engine diagnostics, driver's station and electrical system. The 4.2 kW gasoline Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) has been replaced by a Tactically Quiet 5.0 kW diesel APU that can be operated from inside the vehicle and utilizes the vehicle fuel supply. Kits to convert M577 vehicles to the M1068A3 configuration are available.
