US Army Tests New ‘670’ Missile From Bradley Infantry Vehicle

The U.S. Army has tested a new missile, dubbed the “670,” from the M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicle.

The War Zone reported that the missile was launched from the BGM-71 TOW anti-tank gun mounted on the BMP.

The “670” missile was launched during the Project Convergence-Capstone 5 experiment in Fort Irwin, California.

No additional information about the mysterious 670 has been previously disclosed.

The vehicle is propelled by a small rocket engine located in the rear of a wide cylindrical body.

The body is equipped with three retractable lattice stabilizers located in the tail section.

The missile has a rounded nose, but it is unclear whether this is merely an aerodynamic fairing or if it conceals targeting equipment.

At least three separate sections are visible on the body, which could be modular and potentially replaceable, for example, by being equipped with cluster munitions or electronic countermeasures.

The U.S. military has a similar GBU-69/B Small Glide Munition (SGM), which is launched from a launcher, is equipped with three lattice stabilizers in the tail section, and matches the dimensions of the Product 670.

However, the SGM does not have an engine, and its stabilizers are significantly different in design.

To improve these armored vehicles, in 2024, the U.S. Department of Defense placed an order for the purchase of Iron Fist active protection systems for Bradley IFVs.

The system is designed to intercept guided anti-tank missiles and rocket-propelled grenades. In addition, it is currently being tested to intercept armor-piercing feathered sub-caliber projectiles.
