M270 Aegis High Mobility Ground-Based Electronic Warfare System

A mobile electronic warfare system designed to protect high-value ground assets against electronic attacks.

Lore

The idea for the M270 Aegis was first conceived in the 70s, but proper funding only started in the 80s only to be stopped for other development in 1989. Then, in 1992, the program was restarted and development began, basing the system on the TR-02 multipurpose truck. Prototype first finished in 1994 and deliveries began in 1996. On the field, the M270 Aegis is deployed alongside high-value assets such as the M180 Landbowman, T-ASSIST battalions, or M155 Equalizer, to defend them from enemy electronic attack. The soldiers nicknamed it the "Swan" due to the shape of the dish.

Controls (besides the ones already on the truck):
AG7 : activate stands
Roll : dish traverse
VTOL : dish elevation
