Internationale pantservoertuigen APC IFV ontwikkelingen

De eerste impressie van het concept voertuig dat de Wiesel 1 moet gaan vervangen bij de Duitse strijdkrachten. Dit project is een samenwerking tussen IABG, ACS, FFG & Valhalla Turrets.
Zoals het voertuig nu bekend staat ''Luchtmobiele Wapendrager'' of afgekort LuWa.

Ik blijf het een interessant idee vinden ook om onze 11 LMB wat meer vuurkracht te geven en misschien kan het ook nog wel gebruikt worden door het KMARNS als het geschikt is voor amfibische operaties.

Je geeft een brigade niet 'wat vuurkracht'. Een brigade vraagt daar zelf om of niet. In het geval van LMB wordt de behoefte niet gesteld. Dus niet.

Logistieke voetafdruk van LMB zou per direct verviervoudigen met zo'n apparaat in de sterkte. Dat doen ze nooit.

Voor het bedrag wat de Britten nu in de Ajax hebben gestoken, waar er alleen nog maar prototypes van zijn.. hadden ze 150 leopard2A7's en 40 MLRS systemen van kunnen kopen.. of 300 CV90's

CV90 with the RT60 remote turret looks instinctively right. A lack of turret intrusion into the crew compartment maximises interior space. With cannon ammunition isolated from the crew, it maximises the platform's survivability.

Al langer bekend dat ze richting modules willen. Grofweg hetzelfde als de T serie in Rusland.

De Lynx zal de laatste 'lichte' AIFV zijn van Duitse bodem. Die Koreaan die in de AUS aifv race zit toont het verschil in denkwijze van oud en nieuw blijkbaar hierin. Redback is praktisch een tank.

Krauss-Maffei Wegmann: increasing the group industrial base and designing a new IFV

....../......

A new tracked infantry fighting vehicle

Although not much is said on that subject at the KMW HQ, a new product is in full development; considering the number of Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs) that have to be replaced in the coming years in Europe and worldwide, the company has launched a programme aimed at a new IFV based on innovative concepts. EDR On-Line understood that the secrecy around the project is mostly due to the fact that a key element in the programme is its openness towards collaborations with foreign parties in order to ease customers nations industries participation. At least two nations in Europe are seeking a new IFV. One of them is Italy, which in December 2020 organised an industry day on "A new generation armoured combat infantry system for infantry". Beside typical considerations, the service stressed the importance of modularity, the mission module concept being a key issue, as well as unmanned systems integration, multinational cooperation and growth potential. Currently equipped with the Dardo in the combat and antitank versions, no further specialised versions were acquired although prototypes were developed, the Italian Army wants to provide its mechanised infantry battalions with a family of vehicles based on the same chassis, combat, antitank, mortar-carrier, command post, engineer, SHORAD, medical evacuation, recovery and ammunition carrier versions being part of the requirement. Some of the versions, i.e. the engineer, SHORAD and ammunition carrier, will be provided to combat support (artillery, engineers) and combat service support units part of the two heavy brigades, the "Ariete" armoured and the "Garibaldi" mechanised.

What EDR On-Line understood in the talks in Munich is that KMW aims at a fully open architecture, modularity being not only aimed at mission modules rapid replacement, something the company has learned well with the Boxer programme. The experience acquired with the Boxer programme, as well as that obtained with the German Puma IFV programme, the two systems being developed respectively as part of the ARTEC and the Puma joint ventures, is of course a key factor in the new IFV development.

Coming to the nearer future, artillery, the Leopard 2 evolution and future Boxer developments are the main topics on the play-table. These will be analysed in the coming articles.

Best gaaf dat die in huis worden gemaakt.

Ziet er nogal fors uit voor een redelijk licht RCWS... Dat voertuig ziet er ook al redelijk hoog uit trouwens.

Hornet RCWS Presented At SOFINS 2021

Hornet, an Arquus business unit, presents its RCWS (Remote-Controlled Weapon Stations) for the first time in France at SOFINS 2021.

Press Release, Satory, 30 June 2021: The 2021 edition of SOFINS is the opportunity for Hornet to present its range of Hornet remote-controlled weapon stations, already chosen by the French Army to equip its new generation of combat vehicles, the Griffon, Jaguar and Serval.

Within the framework of the exhibition, Hornet wishes to contribute in its own way to the reflection on the evolution of the equipment of Special Forces vehicles. This reflection is done today by inviting discussion on the relevance of modern tools such as remotely operated turrets for Special Forces units, both in France and abroad.

Nee het is meer dat ze al 3.5 miljard  hebben uitgegeven. Dit is de klassieker.. als je stelker eruit trekt verdampt dat bedrag. Per direct . Nu is het nog een investering.

[Harald]

Jemig wat een faal project...
Eerste leveringen zouden zijn in 2017, nu nog steeds niet en de nodige problemen.
Je zou er bijna een streep door het contract zetten en opnieuw beginnen... maar project is al te ver gevorderd, teveel deelcontracten getekend met leveranciers.

Trials of Army's new armoured vehicles halted again

Trials of the Army's new fleet of armoured vehicles have been halted for a second time over complaints about noise affecting the crew.

The Ministry of Defence said trials of the £5.5bn Ajax Armoured Vehicle programme would be "paused" after "renewed concerns" about the issue.
Announcing the decision, defence minister Jeremy Quin described the programme as "troubled".

Labour urged the government to "get a grip on this stop-start shambles".
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) signed a contract for 589 of the Ajax armoured vehicles in 2014 and has already spent nearly £3.5bn on the flagship programme.

The vehicles, which are being assembled by General Dynamics in Merthyr Tydfil in Wales, aim to be "fully digital" and provide the Army with a "family" of modern tracked armoured fighting vehicles. A spokesman for General Dynamics UK said it was "confident in its vehicle design" and that the MoD had told the firm the pause was "temporary and precautionary".

The MoD has launched a safety investigation, working with the company, which is set to finish at the end of next month.
Officials first halted trials in the four months to March after complaints that crews were suffering from temporary hearing loss and aching joints.
Testing resumed with "mitigations" in place in March, but it has now been paused again.
Mr Quin said: "This long-running troubled programme requires ongoing intense work by our industrial partners and ourselves to ensure its delivery. In achieving this, the safety of our personnel will always come first."

Labour's shadow defence secretary John Healey called on the government to ask the National Audit Office to do a special audit of the programme "to prevent billions more of taxpayer money being wasted". He added: "Only three weeks ago, ministers assured MPs that Ajax would begin operations from next week. The MoD must get a grip on this stop-start shambles. Ajax is over budget, behind schedule and still not working safely."
