Использование титана в амеровской бронетехнике
One of the best illustrations of titanium on a current legacy system is shown in Figure 30 on the M1A2 Abrams tank where a concerted effort was made to reduce weight of components on the chassis. While this weight reduction program envisioned a larger replacement of components, these four areas reduced combat weight by over 1500 lbs without loss of function or protection. Figure 31 shows the M2A2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle and two uses of titanium have been incorporated into design. The commanders hatch is a titanium forging and a titanium roof appliquй was added for increased protection. The Reactive Armor boxes on the sides were also designed to utilize titanium sheet as a replacement for sheet metal in the box construction.

Current application of titanium is also found on two versions of the Stryker family of Vehicles. Figure 33 shows the Stryker Mobile Protected Gun System and the Gun Pod is fabricated from titanium. Also shown in Figure 34 is the titanium Gunners Protection Kit on the RV and FSV versions of the Stryker. Titanium was used to reduce weight for the application.
