The Japanese Maneuver Combat Vehicle was designed by Japan's state-owned Technical Research and Development Institute. Development commenced in 2008. This fire support vehicle was first publicly revealed in 2013. It is planned that some 200-300 of these vehicles will be built for the Japan's army. These will replace ageing main battle tanks. By acquiring wheeled fire support vehicle Japan plans to reduce the number of main battle tanks from 740 to only 300 units within the few years.
The Japanese MCV is armed with a 105 mm rifled gun. It is compatible with all standard NATO 105 mm ammunition. For some reason this gun lacks automatic loader and is loaded manually. Around 40 rounds are carried for the main gun. Around 15 rounds are stored in the turret bustle and are ready to use.
The MCV is fitted with a modern fire control system with the latest generation optics. This vehicle has a hunter-killer engagement capability.
Secondary armament consists of a coaxial 7.62 mm machine gun and a roof-mounted 12.7 mm machine gun.
This fire support vehicle is relatively light. It is likely to have a steel armor hull. Also there is modular add-on composite armor. It seems that the front arc withstands hits form 35 mm or even 40 mm guns. Maximum level of all-round protection is likely to be against 14.5 mm armor-piercing rounds and artillery shell splinters. Damaged add-on armor modules can be easily replaced in field conditions.
The Maneuver Combat Vehicle has a crew of four, including commander, gunner, loader and driver.
This fire support vehicle uses an entirely new 8x8 chassis. It is not based on any existing armored personnel carrier. It seems that it was specially designed to withstand the violent recoil of the main gun.
The MCV is powered by unspecified turbocharged diesel engine, developing 570 hp. Powerpack is located at the front of the hull. It is claimed that operational range on roads without refueling is only 400 km.
This fire support vehicle can be airlifted. Unlike main battle tanks the MCVs can be easily transported by Kawasaki C-2 tactical cargo aircraft. In case of emergency Japan plans to quickly airlift numerous Maneuver Combat Vehicles to remote islands where these are needed.
