M987 Fighting Vehicle System (FVS)

In order to support the new generation of M1 tanks and M2/M3 Bradleys. the Army issued a requirement for a new series of combat support vehicles which could keep up with these new AFVs. Using Bradley components. FMC developed the M987 Fighting Vehicle System, The Bradley components included the power train and suspension system In a chassis which is somewhat longer than the Bradley. The 500 horsepower engine is center mounted under the engine cab which can be tilled forward for easy access to the engine. Behind the cab/engine area is the payload area which can be used in a number of different configurations.

The cab provides seating for the driver and two additional personnel. Aluminum armor provides protection against various small caliber weapons and the cab is lilted with an overpressure ventilation system for operation in an NBC enviroment. Visibility through the front three windows is fairly good, and if under fire, folding shields can be lowered to protect the crew, Doors on each side have windows which can be covered with a hinged armor flap. The driving controls are logically placed and designed for easy use. while the instrument panel is labeled in international symbols and uses both English and metric units of measurement. An additional hatch in the roof allows for ventilation and observation when in a reasonably safe situation.

The M987 has been used as the basis for a number of vehicles with a wide range of functions. Some have been in service for some lime, while others are still under development
