The first of its kind, the FCS Manned Ground Vehicle (MGV) Non-Line-of-Sight Cannon (NLOS-C) is the prototype in a line of 8 next generation MGVs. It is hoped that these new models will increased support time and response while decreasing risk to life and property by allowing the vehicle to be far away from its target. This is the first two man howitzer that has automatic loading and improved accuracy. In addition, this unit is very special as it generates its own electricity and recharges its own batteries while also using far less fuel than the average of this kind of vehicle. This alone translates into a significant increase in efficiency even before the improved accuracy is considered. The Army has been pressed of late having to use out of date vehicles with inadequate armor plating. However, with the addition of this next generation MGV, those days are number. Eight are planned to be built this year, with nine more on the way for next. With significant improvements and the latest in technology, the MGV is expected to reduce maintenance costs and save the lives of service men and women as they patrol and respond to tactical situations.
