Topic: Ontos


  
  ms3
The Ontos was a relatively light weight tracked armored fighting vehicle that was designed in the early 1950's to destroy the main battle tanks of this era using the firepower from its six 106mm recoilless rifles.
The Ontos was not a good place to be if you hit a mine I took a lot of small arms fire from all sides and the sloped plates combined with all the extra junk we carried helped deflect a lot of rounds or softened the blow.
When the Ontos were working in groups in a confined area, the crews had to watch that a backblast from one Ontos didn't kill a loader from another Ontos reloading outside his machine.

 Ontos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ontos, officially the Rifle, Multiple 106 mm, Self-propelled, M50, was a light anti-tank vehicle developed in the US in the 1950s.
The US Marines were the only force to use the Ontos operationally, and although their crews consistently reported excellent results against infantry during the Vietnam War, the Ontos was always considered an "ugly duckling" and was removed from service in 1969.
The Ontos (Greek for "the thing") project was created to be an air transportable tank-destroyer capable of being lifted by the cargo aircraft of the 1950s.

The Ontos was a relatively light weight tracked armoured fighting vehicle that was designed in the early 1950's to destroy the main battle tanks of this era using the firepower from its six 106mm recoilless rifles.

It was left to the men who manned the Ontos to reinvent it; and they reinvented it into a weapon that served the Marine infantryman.

 Defense Acquisition History Project | Working Papers | ONTOS:  Civilian Control, Economy, and the Defense of Europe
The Army had begun developing ONTOS (in Greek, “the thing”) in March 1951.  It was to be a relatively lightweight, full-track, highly mobile vehicle carrying a crew of two and armed with six 105 mm recoilless rifles mounted externally.
Secretary Pace found the ONTOS particularly attractive because it promised to be much less expensive than the tank.  Initial estimates were that the unit cost of the ONTOS would be $25,000-30,000; the M47 medium tank ran approximately $240,000 per copy.
In response, General Collins defended the Army’s approach to ONTOS and strongly reaffirmed the tank’s paramount role in fighting the infantry division.  The Army, he asserted, was “not opposed to change.

He believed ONTOS would be an asset in the defense of Europe and emphasized its importance as a low-cost program.
The Ontos was deployed in large numbers with the 1st and 3rd Anti-tank battalions of the 1st Marine division.

The Ontos was developed to provide fire support in a light and easily transportable vehicle.
The USMC used it in Vietnam, and its 6 106-mm recoilless rifles were useful in a fire support role, but limitations in relaoding and to overall protection of the vehicle rendered it useless in a more direct role.

However it was a good weapon system in Viet Nam, but that had more to do withe fine weapons mounted on it than the vehicle itself.

One, the M50 "Ontos", was developed in the U.S. for its marines.
The M50 "Ontos" (ontos meaning "Thing" in Greek) began its life in the early 1950s to meet a requirement for a light anti-tank armored vehicle to better equip anti-tank teams, then armed with only Jeeps to mount their anti-tank weapons.
They were looking to replace their veteran and outdated Shermans but wanted a replacement which was light of weight to ease transportation issues and thus, by extension, enhance their mobility and deployment speed.
