Mandus Group is extremely pleased to announce that the HMMWV/Hawkeye self-propelled howitzer will be participating in the Maneuver Fires Integrated Experiment (MFIX) at Ft. Sill, OK, December 4-13.
This is an opportunity for the Army to test and evaluate the Hawkeye in live fire demonstrations as part of the MFIX artillery focused mission scenarios. The Hawkeye will be operated by active duty Army soldiers which will allow both the Army and Mandus Group the ability to gain valuable feedback from experienced artillery crewmen on the performance of the self-propelled howitzer in actual field exercises.
