The M93 MVS is designed to communicate measured projectile velocities, via a MIL-STD-1553B Data Bus to the M109A6 Paladin Automatic Fire Control System. This information can be used to provide a reasonable estimate of the average muzzle velocity for rounds to be fired for a new mission, thereby improving the possibility of a first-round hit on the target. 1.4 MAINTENANCE FORMS AND PROCEDURES.
