1.18 SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
The M93 MVS is a muzzle velocity measurement system, which operates on the Doppler
principle and is designed to be operated under field conditions. The system is based on an X
band transceiver and a muzzle velocity processor (MVP). When not in use, the Paladin MVS
can remain installed on the Paladin gun or housed and transported in a transit case. Table 1-1
provides M93 MVS system components and part numbers.
1.18.1 Transceiver Assembly
. The transceiver assembly is an X band transmitter and receiver,
which provides the Paladin AFCS with the velocity of the projectile via the MIL-STD-15538 data
bus. The transceiver assembly is mounted on the non-recoiling part of the gun using the
mounting bracket.
1.18.2 Mounting Bracket
. The bracket is used to mount the transceiver assembly on the gun. It
contains shock absorbers and is firmly mounted on the gun.
1.18.3 Power and Data Cables
. The M93 MVS has two cables. The 0.75-meter power and data
cable connects the transceiver to the 5-meter power and data cable, which is installed inside the
gun cab. The 5-meter cable provides the transceiver with the power through connection to the
Paladin PCU and communication bus through connection to the Paladin CP
