The M1068 SICPS on a railcar for mass transport. By Staff Writer
The M1068 SICPS was designed from the M113A2 Gavin armored personnel carrier chassis and was a further modification of the M577A2 design. The M1068 SICPS variant was a mobile battlefield system complete with an expanded communications system, dual-fuel tanks and a portable generator. A 10 meter antenna mast compliments the added communications equipment.
A built-in heater was also installed for crew comfort and there was an optional tent system that could be attached to the rear for expanded headquarter-type service on the battlefield. A modernization program brought up about 2/3 of the existing M577A2 to M1068 standards.
