Weighing only 24 tons, the NLOS-C Demonstrator features a 560
horsepower hybrid-electric propulsion system that enables top
speeds of 55 mph (90 kph) over the road and 35 mph (56 kph) over
varied terrain to give the Army quick maneuvering, big-gun fire
support without the usual big-gun logistical footprint.
The NLOS-C Demonstrator's lithium-ion batteries also allow
the system to travel up to 2.5 miles at 20 mph in silent mode -
giving soldiers stealth mobility/silent watch capabilities that are
critical in urban environments.
As part of the FCS family of manned ground vehicles, the objective
NLOS-C system will be required to weigh less than 20 tons, be C-130
aircraft deployable and combat ready upon theater entry to ensure
combat units can get to the fight and defeat threats more quickly.
The NLOS-C Demonstrator has proven that a 20-ton class vehicle can
support a 155 mm cannon and is a viable option for meeting the U.S.
Army's artillery needs.
