TB 9-2350-277-40&P-2 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 M113A3 Armored Personnel Carrier for Crew II. It further provides instruction on the installation of the Crew II modification kit P/N 12498026. 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), FRF105C dual antenna, and the remote control unit (RCU) to be utilized by any Heavy Brigade Combat Team (HBCT) vehicle. The M113A3 location was chosen to provide the least impact on mission requirements, for example the commander’s cupola with .50 cal must rotate 360°; however, care must be taken when operating any weapons towards the right rear as the antenna is fixed in that position.
