TM   9-2350-267-10 Section  Il.  EQUIPMENT  DESCRIPTION EQUIPMENT  CHARACTERISTICS,  CAPABILITIES,  AND  FEATURES Purpose The M992 is afield artillery ammunition support vehicle comparable to current field artillery weapons (M109A2 and M110A2 self-propelled howitzer class) in terms of speed, mobility, and  survivability. Capabilities This  full-tracked,  self-propelled,  diesel-powered  vehicle  is  highly  mobile  and maneuverable. It is capable of long-range, high-speed operation on improved roads. It is also well-suited to rough terrain, muddy or marshy ground, sand, snow, and ice. The M992 can  also  ford  waterways  where  maximum  depth  is  42  inches. Features Ammunition handling equipment (AHE), including a hydraulically-operated conveyor and X-Y stacker, the projectile rack assemblies, and related components. A diesel-powered auxiliary power unit (APU) used to drive the hydraulic system and recharge vehicle batteries. Simplified test equipment for internal combustion engine (STE/lCE). Automatic Fire Extinguishing System (AFES). AFES is an automatic and manual electric system that when actuated provides fire  extinguishing  capability  for  the  engine  and  crew  compartment.  It  consists  of test/alarm  panels,  sensors  and  associated  equipment  explained  later  on  in  this section  and  the  Chapter  4  operating  instructions. Automatic  electric  operation  will  automatically  sense  and  discharge  an  agent  to extinguish  hydrocarbon  fires.  The  crew  system  provides  an  automatic  electric second  shot  capability  should  the  fire  continue  burning  or  a  second  fire  occurs. Manual electric operation must be manually activated by the crew to discharge the agent to extinguish fires. The crew system second shot manual electric activation is available if the fire continues to burn. It must be manually activated by a crew member. These  systems  will  not  activate  unless  the  crew/engine  test  and  alarm  panel maintenance switches are in the horizontal power on-normal operational position. (See  Chapter  4). Nuclear,  biological,  and  chemical  (NBC)  agent  detection  and  protection  system.   Ammunition storage racks and compartments. 1-3
