I have some questions about the M901 Series. I know the M901/M901A1 differ by the type of TOW they fire. I was reading Hunnicutt's book and it said that the M901/M901A1 could be based on the M113A1 OR the M113A2. Is this true? Was there a M901A2? I checked Wikipedia and it was not listed and I do not recall seeing anything in Hunnicutt's book.

Yes and an A3 - quite how many were actually converted to this standard is not known.

M901A2 ~ Version with M220A2 TOW 2 launcher.
M901A3 ~ Incorporates the RISE improvements of the M113A3.

- silviop15 Did the M901A2 just not exist? Hard to tell the difference between it and earlier versions but there must be a record somewhere of the vrn of any vehicles that were upgraded. _________________ TTFN Jim If your not a member of JED then your not serious about anything military.. ********************* www.jedsite.info JED Military Equipment *********************

Can anyone confirm the other question? Is it true that both M113A1 and M113A2s were used as the chassis for both the M901 and M901A1??
