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 1-13
