Worldwide Summary of Self-propelled Howitzers

چکیده
Paladin is an upgrade of the 1960s-era M109-series howitzer. While the vehicle includes a new turret, many components—such as the chassis, its automotive capability, and the level of protection it affords—are fundamentally the same as in the earlier versions of the M109. Today the technologies that Paladin helped pioneer are becoming increasingly common on more modern and capable selfpropelled weapons being fielded around the world.

متن کاملDesign, Manufacturing and Surface quality Analysis of Machining by Self-Rotary Milling Tool
One of the disadvantages of conventional milling tools is to produce a large amount of heat in cutting zone and so making the tool warmer. As a result, the tool would be worn and its life time would be reduced. Therefore, in long time machining, it is essential to change inserts and tools, continiously. A milling tool with self rotary cutting inserts was designed and manufactured that enables i...
