“十字军战士”火炮系统是美国陆军于20世纪80年代启动的“先进野战火炮系统/未来装甲补给车(AFAS/FARV)”计划的最终产物,是为21世纪信息化战场环境专门设计的第一种地面战斗车辆,预计作为2010年美国陆军数字化部队主要的火炮支援装备,为 M1A2“艾布拉姆斯”主战坦克、M2A2“布雷德利”步兵战车提供间接火力支援。“十字军战士”计划于2003年开始生产,2008年前投入使用,取代已有40年“军龄”的陆军 M109系列155毫米自行榴弹炮及其 M992/M992A2弹药支援车(FAASV)。“十字军战士”曾被美国陆军誉为“陆军现代化皇冠上的珠宝”。
The “Crusader” artillery system is the final product of the Advanced Field Artillery System / Future Armored Replenishment (AFAS / FARV) program launched by the U.S. Army in the 1980s. It was designed specifically for the 21st century informatized battlefield environment A ground-combat vehicle, which is expected to be the main artillery support unit for the US Army’s Digital Forces in 2010, provides indirect fire support for the M1A2 Abrams main battle tank and the M2A2 Bradley infantry combat vehicle. The Crusaders, which began production in 2003 and will go live by 2008, will replace the Army M109 Series 155mm howitzer and its M992 / M992A2 ammunition support vehicle (FAASV), which have been armed for 40 years. The Crusader has been hailed by the U.S. Army as “the jewel in the Army’s modern crown.”
