The Hawkeye has found a New Home...Mounted on a ¾ Ton Pickup Truck
 This past April, Mandus Group completed modifications to a stock Ford F-250 allowing the truck to support the Hawkeye 105mm Weapon System. The modifications included removing the truck bed and installing a platform on the frame as well as adding four collapsible outriggers. No modifications were needed for the suspension system. The Hawkeye was then mounted to the platform using only four heavy-duty bolts. This new combination demonstrates the unprecedented flexibility of the weapon system.
The Hawkeye is a lightweight howitzer designed for modularity. Due to the reduced forces of the "soft recoil" system, it can be mounted on vehicles and platforms thought to be insufficient for artillery. The pickup was selected to demonstrate just how versatile and capable the weapon system is.
 Upon completion, the Hawkeye was driven to a farm in rural Iowa to begin sand round testing. The countryside awoke to thunderous booms as the Hawkeye/Pickup combination completed its first round of testing with success. The following week, the Hawkeye was transported to North Carolina for a demonstration at a top-notch gun range operated by the Gryphon Group near Ft. Bragg. Three design engineers from Mandus Group drove the truck onto the range, emplaced the gun in two minutes, and proceeded with the firing demonstration. The Hawkeye/Pickup combo made an impression on the audience as it fired sand rounds at multiple elevations and directions of fire with ease.

Mandus Group to Provide KJ4000CVs to Rock Island Arsenal
 Mandus Group has won a sole-sourced contract issued by the Army's Contracting Command. They will be building 31 KJ4000CVs to be delivered to the Rock Island Arsenal by August, 2013. It has been expressed that these units are urgently needed and Mandus Group is working with its vendors and is confident they will be able to deliver the KJ4000CVs much sooner than what the contract requires. The KJ4000CV was designed to be a superior alternative to the M3 oil pump. Its .59 gallons per minute oil flow easily and quickly fills oil reservoirs, recoil mechanisms, buffers, and replenishers. Please contact Mandus Group at 1-888-922-8502 for more information. |
