PURPOSE
The purpose of this technical bulletin (TB) is to provide instructions and guidance on the method of
modifying the M113A3 Armored Personnel Carrier for Crew II.
It further provides instruction on the
installation of the Crew II modification kit P/N 12498026.
The Crew II modification kit provides
mounting for the next generation of improvised explosive device (IED) jammers.
The modular Crew II
“plug and play” design, allows the main line replaceable unit (LRU), FRF105C dual antenna, and the
remote control unit (RCU) to be utilized by any Heavy Brigade Combat Team (HBCT) vehicle.
The
M113A3 location was chosen to provide the least impact on mission requirements, for example the
commander’s cupola with .50 cal must rotate 360°; however, care must be taken when operating any
weapons towards the right rear as the antenna is fixed in that position.
