The Army is Testing a New 50mm Cannon

Will it be used for the Next-Generation Combat Vehicle?

https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/army-testing-new-50mm-cannon-52182

De Amerikanen zijn serieus aan het kijken naar de 50mm voor hun toekomstige NG Combat voertuigen. Als dit de standaard wordt binnen de US Army, misschien voor NL ook nog eens beraden over een eventuele toekomstige upgrade bij de CV90 en de 35mm inwisselen/wijzigen naar 50mm.

Indonesia ordered first batch of Harimau medium tanks



On April 12, 2019, Indonesian Defense Minister Ramisard Ryakuda signed a large package of contracts with enterprises of the Indonesian defense industry in Bandung, the most significant of which was the order for the Indonesian shipbuilding association PT PAL to build three more diesel-electric submarines in cooperation with South Korean corporation Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME). Another significant contract was the order for the Indonesian state defense industry association PT Pindad to build the first batch of the Harimau ("Tiger") serial Turkish-Indonesian production for the Indonesian army.

The cost of the contract for the Harimau tanks was $ 135 million. The number of vehicles ordered was not officially disclosed, but, according to the head of the defense division PT Pindad Vijayanto, is 18-20 tanks (the final number must also be determined depending on the cost of equipment). PT Pindad of the Indonesian Army should be supplied within three years.

FNSS of Turkey and PT Pindad of Indonesia launched the development of the Modern Medium Weight Tank (MMWT) project called Kaplan MT (Medium Tank) to respond to a request from the Indonesian army for a new 3-man medium tank. The vehicle is fully operable in a wide range of altitudes, humidity levels and temperatures (-18°C/+55°C). The joint development of this medium weight tank design includes advanced ballistic and mine protection systems with a wide range of firepower, from close support of infantry to anti-armor. Turkey and Indonesia initiated the project in 2014. FNSS and PT Pindad are the prime contractors of the project, whose intellectual property rights will be owned by the two countries. FNSS-PT Pindad Joint Development Medium Weight Tank comprises a state-of-the-art modern technology platform with superior firepower supported with battlefield management and laser warning systems, providing tactical awareness to the commander.

The concept design of the MMWT was completed and unveiled during IndoDefense 2016, International Tri-Service Defence Expo & Forum in November 2016 in Jakarta, Indonesia. The first prototype of the Kaplan MMWT (Modern Medium Weight Tank) was unveiled in May 2017 during IDEF, the International Defense Industry Fair in Turkey. In August 2018, the Indonesian Company PT Pindad announced final firing tests with the Kaplan to control all the functions of the 105mm CT-CV turret system, designed and developed by the Belgian Company CMI Defence. The gun is equipped with an automatic drum-type loader for 12 rounds, another 30 rounds are placed in the tank hull. The turret and gun are electrically driven. The gun is capable of firing standard NATO 105mm tank ammunition.

In September 2018, according to the Indonesian Company PT Pindad, Philippines and Bangladesh showed a serious interest to acquire the Kaplan. The two countries could purchase 40 to 50 units from Kaplan MT. At IndoDefence 2018, FNSS representative announced that Brunei had also expressed interest to purchase the Kaplan. For Indonesia, the Kaplan was nicknamed Harimau (Tiger). The vehicle was dynamically demonstrated for the first time to the public in Indonesia at IndoDefence 2018.

Both armored hulls with prototype tracked undercarriages were made in Turkey, and the Indonesian PT Pindad only assembled the second prototype. By agreement with CMI Defense in 2014, PT Pindad organizes licensed production of the Cockerill 3000 series tower in CSE 90LP variants with a 90-mm cannon (to equip Badak armored vehicles with 6x6 wheel arrangement) and CMI-3105HP with a 105-mm cannon (to equip a tank Harimau and Pandur II armored vehicles with a wheeled 8x8 chassis). On the prototypes of the tank, the 711hp Caterpillar C13 diesel engine, coupled to an Allison/Caterpillar X300 automatic transmission.

So far, the tank is only assembled in Indonesia. The Indonesian armed forces plan to initially acquire 44 Harimau tanks in a first stage, then a total of 400 units.

Army's request for proposals to build next-gen combat vehicle prototypes drops

WASHINGTON — The Army issued a request for proposals to competitively build next-generation combat vehicle prototypes March 29.

The RFP opens up competition for industry to provide Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle prototype designs. From that pool, the Army will choose — in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 — up to two teams to build 14 prototypes.

The OMFV is intended to replace the Bradley Fighting Vehicle starting in 2026 and is designed to better operate in future environments that would allow soldiers to maneuver to a position of advantage and "to engage in close combat and deliver decisive lethality during the execution of combined arms maneuver," an Army statement reads.

Some of the threshold requirements for OMFV are a 30mm cannon and a second generation Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) system. Objective requirements are a 50mm cannon and a third-generation FLIR.

"The OMFV must exceed current capabilities while overmatching similar threat class systems," Brig. Gen. Ross Coffman, the director for the Next Generation Combat Vehicles (NGCV) Cross Functional Team (CFT), said in the statement. "It must be optimized for dense urban areas while also defeating pacing threats on rural terrain."

First Ajax reconnaissance variant to begin British Army trials by September

De Amerikaanse eis is belachelijk. Andere landen hebben dit niet.

[Sparkplug]

Recent is er door meerdere landen een ontwikkelings project gestart voor de vervanging van de oude voertuigen, ook Nederland neemt hier deel in.

En ook de US heeft plannen voor een nieuw licht gewicht voertuig voor koud weer. De eis is wel dat het onder een UH-60 gedragen kan worden en volledige amfibisch is.

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/21392/the-army-wants-new-tracked-vehicles-that-will-run-in-deep-snow-at-50-below

Een UH-60 kan maar 1 helft vervoeren. Voor de VS zal gewicht en/of grootte belangrijk zijn. Weet niet of dat voor de andere landen ook van belang is/blijft.

Het wordt tijd dat BAE/Hagglunds opschiet met een nieuwe versie van de Bvs10 om te concurreren met de Bronco 3.

ST Engineering positions Bronco to meet Bv206 requirements



Singapore Technologies Engineering (ST Engineering) is positioning its Bronco 3 to address the potential emerging requirements of current Bv206 users, according to Dominic Phoon, vice-president and product director of the Programme Management Office.

The Bronco 3 was specifically designed for extreme weather requirements, such as those required by many legacy Bv206 users, Phoon told Jane's in March at the Ivalo Test Ground in Finland. ST Engineering representatives said the vehicle has been demonstrated to five Bv206 user countries.

The vehicle utilises Soucy rubber tracks in widths from 600 to 700 mm so that it can theoretically cross 80% of the world's terrain, according to Phoon.

The wheels and drive sprockets are also provided by Soucy and built from Ultra High Molecular Weight-Polyethylene (UHMW-PE), which Soucy said can operate at temperatures from -73° to 80° C.

The vehicle is built from steel armour and so confers ballistic protection on the vehicle at its basic level. Phoon said the steel for the monocoque structures is provided by SSAB and designed to withstand Arctic temperatures without becoming brittle and compromising protection.

The vehicle's ballistic protection can be extended to STANAG 4569 level 3 (7.62×51 mm armour-piercing with steel core) and the mine protection is provided by a V-shaped hull bottom made from a single sheet of steel for each module. The plate covers the diesel fuel tanks, which further help to dissipate blast energy away from the hull. The manned areas are provided with armoured crew citadels, reinforced with high-strength steel frames to ensure that only the crewed areas are protected.

In a modern battlespace any patrol, convoy, or resupply mission can become a combat mission, which typically means that future vehicles must be able to withstand a small arms fire ambush and a mine blast as a minimum.

Waaronder Australië, het is maar een klein detail maar ik heb niet verder gekeken naar wie het nog meer gebruikt. Je hebt ongetwijfeld gelijk 


Ziet er dik uit maar kan 2 man met hulp van AI en sensoren echt hetzelfde als 4 man ?

Dit zou voor mij dus echt totaal niet werken, ik dan veel meer in een soort HUDS voor de bemanning wat augmented combineert met realiteit.

[Huzaar1]

Volgens mij zit er wel een coax in of bedoel je iets anders dan de coaxiale MG?

De MAG 58 is de Australische benaming voor de FN MAG en die mk52 is een ontwikkeling van Bushmaster / Northrop Grumman
