M247 Sergeant York AA Platoon

M247 Sergeant York came out of the DIVAD (DIVision Air Defense) programme to find a replacement for the M163 VADS and went into production in 1981.

The M247 is fitted with fully-stabilized twin 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns and with a search and track radar designed to track aircraft out to a range of 40km. The Sergeant York is also fitted with a laser-rangefinder and digital fire control system. This was all housed in a new turret mounted on the hull of a M48A5 Patton medium tank.

The Sergeant York was intended to fight alongside the M1 Abrams and M2 Bradley in the U.S. Army. The vehicle was named after Sergeant Alvin York, a famous World War I hero.
