Japanese Type 16 Mobile Combat Vehicle

Written by Koji Miyake with Gordon Arthur

​

  The Type 16 Mobile Combat Vehicle (16MCV) is a wheeled armoured vehicle of the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF). It is transportable by air and has high on-road mobility to enable rapid deployments to strategic locations and air transportability.
The main armament is the same 105 mm gun used on the Type 74 tank allowing it to destroy enemy armoured vehicles by direct fire. The Fire-Control System is based on that of the Type 10 Tank, therefore achieving highly accurate fire whilst on the move.
The 16MCV shares data between vehicles and units via a Field Communication System command-and-control software and battlefield information software.
Type 16MCVs are deployed in reconnaissance combat battalions and rapid deployment regiments in divisions/brigades of the JGSDF.
