Hi guys,

Some years ago there was a post about an scratch-built radar on a M270 chasiis. ( see link )

https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/103658&page=1

Gino ( HeavyArty ) answered that the US army even tested a radar mounted on a M270 chassis.
Anyone would have any information about such a test vehicle ?

I was looking for pics of it last night actually and couldn't find any. It was a large array like an AN/TPQ-37. We (US Army) now have a truck mounted version that is being fielded, the AN/TPQ-47.

Hi Gino,

Thanks for your fast reply !
I searched the Net and came up with these same pictures.
It seems I have to test my scratch abilities agian !!!!
I even thought of buying the old ARII Patriot Array radar and mounting it in the back.
But that's a 1/48 scale radar !

Gino,

IIRC there is a pic of one in Squadron's Bradley In Action book.
