| Designer Notes |
| The JAxon is a light support tank based on the chassis and suspension of the well-known Klemm light battle tank. The entire hull of the Klemm has been carried over to the Jaxon, so spare parts are plentiful in the field. The main differences between the two vehicles is the crew compartment. The Klemm's commander rides in the turret, but the Jaxon carries both crewmen in the hull. The missile-bearing turret of the Klemm is replaced by a pair of heavy 90mm rocket launchers with 48 rockets each. The latter are loaded in groups of four behind articulated armored doors. Field engineers are presently testing an experimental configuration wherein each group of four internal 90mm launch rails is replaced by a special berth that contains a single 200mm light artillery missile. This modular feature would allow the Jaxon to serve as either a close support vehicle or a dedicated artillery carrier. Jaxons are used mostly by the Northern Guard, since the armed forces of the member leagues generally prefer to use home grown designs. The Guard is presently considering converting about one third of its Jaxons to the artillery carrier configuration if the field tests prove successful. |
