Technical Manual (TM 9-1005-286-20P) for 20mm XM167 Towed Antiaircraft Artillery Gun November 1969 FSN 1005-999-4391
Add a great piece of Cold War air defense history to your collection with this Technical Manual TM 9-1005-286-20P for the 20mm XM167 Towed Antiaircraft Artillery Gun. This manual is dated November 1969 and listed with FSN 1005-999-4391.
The XM167 belongs to the early Vulcan air defense story. The later M167 VADS was a towed short-range air defense gun made to protect forward units and important rear-area targets from low-flying aircraft and helicopters.
Historical Significance
The M167 Vulcan Air Defense System used a 20mm rapid-fire cannon based on the Vulcan gun family. The system was made during the Cold War, when the Army needed fast air defense guns for field use.
The M167 was developed as a towed 20mm Vulcan air defense weapon. It used the M168 cannon and could fire at selectable rates of 1,000 or 3,000 rounds per minute. It also used a range-only radar to help the gunner aim at air targets.
This manual is tied to that early air defense work. It is a strong item for collectors who like Vulcan guns, air defense artillery, Cold War weapons, and Army technical manuals.
