TB 9-2350-277-40&P-1 INTRODUCTION 0001 00 0001 00-1 PURPOSE The purpose of this technical bulletin (TB) is to provide instructions and guidance on the method of modifying the M1064A3, 120-MM M121, Self-Propelled Mortar Carrier for CREW II. It further provides instruction on the installation of the CREW II modification kit P/N 12498030. The CREW II modification kit provides mounting for the next generation of improvised explosive device (IED) jammers. The modular CREW II “plug and play” design, allows the main line replaceable unit (LRU), FRF-105C dual antenna, and the remote control unit (RCU) to be utilized by any Heavy Brigade Combat Team (HBCT) vehicle. The M1064A3 location was chosen to provide the least impact on mission requirements, for example the 120-MM mortar must retain full operation for fire missions and the commander’s cupola with .50 caliber machine gun must rotate 360°; however, care must be taken when operating any weapon toward the left rear when the antenna is fixed in that position.
