The Argentines have 54 of these vehicles on hand at present, though they do not currently have plans to manufacture more. In this role, the turret is removed, and in its place is a hump-backed rear with a set of large hatches, which are opened when the mortar is to be fired. What is normally the rear cargo area is taken up by the mortar, a turntable built into the floor of the vehicle, a special bipod and sight assembly designed for the vehicle, and ammunition racks. However, the VCTM carries only a limited amount of ammunition and charges internally (like almost all mortar carriers) and during most extended firing missions, the VCTM is fed by crewmembers manning ammunition stacks and charge containers outside the rear doors of the vehicle, who attach the charges to the rounds according to the range required and then pass them by hand to the assistant gunner (the crewmember who actually drops the round down the tube).

In the U.S., Excalibur and the XM1156 Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) are key components of the modernisation programme. The HMMWV-mounted AN/TPQ-50 Lightweight Counter Mortar Radar (LCMR) and the truck-mounted AN/TPQ- 53 Quick Reaction Capability Radar are also planned to become the prime target acquisition radars as part of the Field Artillery Modernization Strategy. In addition, the Joint Effects Targeting System (JETS) is scheduled for fielding in 2016. In the U.K., under Army ‘2020,’ 3 Reaction Regiments will have 3 Batteries of AS90 SP Howitzers and 1 Battery of GMLRS. One reserve regiment will have GMLRS.

    The Baltic States' Territorial Defence Forces in the Face of Hybrid Threats

    Centre for Eastern Studies NUMBER 165 | 19.03.2015 www.osw.waw.pl The Baltic states’ Territorial Defence Forces in the face of hybrid threats Piotr Szymański, in co-operation with Justyna Gotkowska Russia’s annexation of Crimea and its aggression in eastern Ukraine have triggered a debate about the main directions of defence policy in the Nordic and Baltic region. In the Baltic states, but also in the Nordic countries and Poland, much attention is being paid to questions of Ter- ritorial Defence Forces (TDF). TDF are viewed as one of the elements in the national defence systems’ response during the early stages of a hybrid conflict. The Baltic states have decid- ed to adapt their Territorial Defence Forces to new threats by making a number of chang- es to their functioning, depending on the local conditions in each case. Given the growing uncertainty in the region, they have opted not to undertake any in-depth reforms of TDF at this stage, as that could entail a temporary disorganisation in the armed forces. In the com- ing years Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania will invest in increasing the size and combat readi- ness of their Territorial Defence Forces, providing them with better training and equipment, and creating a system of incentives to encourage more people to serve in volunteer formations. The Baltic states’ Territorial Defence states as a pretext to interfere with their inter- Forces and hybrid conflict nal affairs, which increases the possibility of hybrid conflict in Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania.
