The suspension is by torsion bars and cranks. The Bradley has a welded aluminum unit or monocoque structure to which the armor is attached, mostly on the outside. In December 2018, the Army revealed it would be installing Iron Fist, an Israeli made active protection system, on M2 Bradleys of one armored brigade as a near-term solution to enhance protection against anti-tank rockets and missiles. Īll versions are also equipped with two four-barreled smoke grenade launchers on the front of the turret for creating defensive smoke screens, which can also be loaded with chaff and flares. In friendly fire incidents in Desert Storm, many crew members survived hits that resulted in total losses for lighter USMC LAV-25 vehicles. However, actual combat operations have not shown the Bradley to be deficient as losses have been few. Spaced laminate belts and high hardness steel skirts have been added to later versions to improve armor protection, although this increased overall weight to 33 tons. The use of aluminum armor and the storage of large quantities of ammunition in the vehicle initially raised questions about its combat survivability. Initial variants carried six, but the side ports were plated over with the new armor used on the A2 and A3 variants, leaving only the two rear-facing mounts in the loading ramp. M2 infantry Bradleys also have firing ports for a number of M231 Firing Port Weapons or FPWs, providing a button-up firing position to replace the top-side gunners on the old ACAV, though the M231 is rarely employed. For engaging heavier targets (such as when acting in an anti-tank fashion), the Bradley has a TOW missile system on board, which was changed from the M2A1 model onwards to fire TOW II missiles. It is also armed with an M240C machine gun mounted coaxially to the M242, with 2,200 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition.
The M919 was used in combat during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Subsequent ammunition developments resulted in the M919 APFSDS-T ( Armor-Piercing Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot with Tracer) round, which contains a finned depleted-uranium penetrator similar in concept to armor-piercing munitions used in modern tanks. However, Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA) officials stated that, on the basis of their assessment of combat vehicles in the Persian Gulf war, for the 25 mm automatic gun to kill a tank, the tank would have to be hit at close range in its more vulnerable areas. While the 25 mm automatic gun is not the weapon of choice for engaging tanks, vehicle commanders, crews, and CALL and Army Infantry Center personnel reported isolated instances in which the 25 mm automatic gun had killed tanks. The 25 mm automatic gun is primarily used for clearing bunkers and firing on lightly armored vehicles. The two ready boxes allow a selectable mix of rounds, such as the M791 APDS-T ( Armor-Piercing Discarding Sabot (with) Tracer), and M792 HEI-T ( High Explosive Incendiary (with) Tracer) rounds. The gun has 300 ready rounds in two ready boxes (one of 70 rounds – usually AP-type rounds, the other of 230 rounds – usually HE-type rounds), with another 600 rounds in storage. The M242 has a single barrel with an integrated dual-feed mechanism and remote feed selection. The Bradley is equipped with the M242 25 mm autocannon as its main weapon. One specific design requirement was that it should be as fast as the new M1 Abrams main battle tank so that they could maintain formations while moving, something which the older M113 armored personnel carrier could not do, as it had been designed to complement the older M60 Patton. Design began in 1963 and entered production in 1981. The Bradley IFV was developed largely in response to the amphibious Soviet BMP family of infantry fighting vehicles, and to serve as both an Armored personnel carrier (APC), and a tank-killer.
