Internationale pantservoertuigen APC IFV ontwikkelingen

He said that the programme was progressing since the RFT was released on 24 August and it calls for a tracked vehicle, with a manned turret and transportable by C-17 and the Landing Helicopter Dock ships and non-negotiable elements. Bids must include the Rafael SPIKE ATGM, EOS RWS and a 30mm cannon to retain commonality with the BOXER CRV.

De IFV's moeten dus een 30 mm kanon krijgen dus de Lance 2.0 met 35 mm gaat het al niet worden.

LAND FORCES 2018: LAND SYSTEM REFORM TO GIVE PROGRAMME FOCUS

Australia's land systems procurement division is to be given a shake up to ensure that a proper focus is to be given to its major programmes that are about to get underway.

Speaking at Land Forces Asia 2018, Maj.Gen. David Coghlan, Head of Land Systems at the Australian DoD's Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group (CASG) procurement organisation said that from January 2019 an Armoured Vehicles Division would be split off from the Land Systems Division.

Under the new Armoured Vehicles Division, which he would lead, the priority will be given to pushing ahead with Land 400 Phases 2 and 3 for the new BOXER combat reconnaissance vehicle (CRV) and mounted combat capability (MCC) respectively; Land 907 Phase 2 for an upgraded ABRAMS M1A2 MBT and Land 8160 Phase 1 for a new bridging and armour breaching capability.

It will also include the Mounted Combat Systems Programme Office that will manage the through life support for Australia's armoured fighting vehicles. The total amount spent on acquisition in these programmes is A$21 billion making it the army's biggest programme. Maj.Gen. Coghlan said the Armoured Vehicle Division would have a 4-5 year life to get these programmes to their contract stage.

He said that, "schedule is key," because the army has a capability gap and it, "can't send soldiers into the fight where there is an anti-armour threat," due to the obsolescence of the M113AS4 armoured personnel carriers which are, "not mission capable," and the ASLAV vehicles that are, "not deployable to anywhere where there is a serious threat."

As a result he said that Block 1 BOXER vehicles started to arrive at the beginning of September, with 25 vehicles purchased from the Netherlands. This will give the soldiers a chance to train on them and give industry a chance to see how they are constructed and reduce risk. The army will keep about 20 of them for operations to gain an understanding of the capability.

Rheinmetall was only recently awarded the Land 400 Phase 2 contract and has get to sign subcontracts with industry partners so the CRV is only just getting started. For Phase 3 MCC, Maj.Gen. Coghlan told MONCh that the timeline was key and that industry had to keep to that.

He said that the programme was progressing since the RFT was released on 24 August and it calls for a tracked vehicle, with a manned turret and transportable by C-17 and the Landing Helicopter Dock ships and non-negotiable elements. Bids must include the Rafael SPIKE ATGM, EOS RWS and a 30mm cannon to retain commonality with the BOXER CRV.

The RFT will close on 1 March and will be followed by a 6-month initial evaluation that will result in a shortlist of two companies in the third quarter of 2019. These remaining bidders will be contracted for a vehicle mobilisation for test and evaluation that will last for a year until the third quarter of 2020 when three vehicles will be delivered for a Risk Mitigation Activity (RMA).

The RMA will last for another year until the third quarter of 2021 when a government decision is expected in 2022. An initial operating capability is expected in 2024-2025 and full operational capability to follow in 2030-31.

Interessant stukje over Nederland en APS op de CV90-35, zie bladzijde 17 ... IMI Systems arrivés with Iron Fist
Certificering van Iron Fist op de CV90-35NL in oktober in Zweden door BAE

In hoeverre is dit mogelijk? Huzaar? Zander? AJ?

"Iron Fist is also able to discriminate between incoming threats such that it can, for instance, sufficiently disrupt the trajectory of a long rod penetrator from an armour-piercing fin stabilised discarding sabot tank round, causing it to yaw and degrade its angle of attack and thus significantly decreasing penetration."

Ziet er strak uit.
Als hij technisch en kwa prijs ook sterk uit de hoek komt zal het een geduchte concurrent van KMW en Rheinmettal zijn.
Tenzij de Aussies natuurlijk de logistieke voordelen van 1 fabrikant zien.

South Korean company to unveil AS21 Redback infantry fighting vehicle at Land Forces 2018



South Korean company Hanwha Defense Systems will unveil new AS21 Redback infantry fighting vehicle during the Land Forces 2018 conference that will be held in Adelaide, Australia on 4-6 September.

The advanced version of the K21 infantry fighting vehicle, to be known in Australia as the AS21 Redback, will be showcased for the first time at the Land Forces 2018 conference.

The AS21 Redback is designed for the Land 400 Phase 3 campaign to replace Australian Army's M113AS4 armoured personnel carrier (APC).

The new modifications have been conceived to enhance survivability against higher threat levels and match peer enemy armoured fighting vehicles. Also, Redback's larger hull with greater internal volume to accommodate eight 95th percentile male dismounts plus three crew.

Hanwha confirmed that space, weight and power provisions have been made to enable the turret to accommodate an active protection system that the ADF will most likely select separately, with the detection and tracking sensors, radar and countermeasure dispensers clearly in evidence.

A Hanwha spokesman said, "With such heritage, Hanwha Defense Systems is able to customise its armoured solutions to a variety of specifications in order to meet future warfare requirements of any country."

Hanwha Defense Systems is a leading defence platform provider in South Korea with product portfolio of armoured personnel carrier, infantry fighting vehicles, air defence systems, and launcher systems.

Geweldige toren  In mijn ogen 100% score voor de Boxer IFV's van 13 licht.

Over een logistieke nachtmerrie gesproken.... Hoe houdt je dat vol?

Nieuwe troep blijven kopen  Je moet eens door de materiaal lijsten lopen van het Indonesische defensie apparaat, dan zie je dat ze dit met alles doen voertuigen, vliegtuigen, boten en ook wapens;
- TNI-AD (Land)
- TNI-AL (Marine / Mariniers)
- TNI-AU (Lucht)

Zo hebben ze 3 BUMA's gekocht en deze reverse engineered (met Thales) tot de Sanca MRAP, en 8 FH-2000 howitzers in dienst die ze gebruiken voor training en nergens anders voor.

En weer een totaal ander voertuig binnen de eenheden opgenomen bij Indonesië,  ze hadden nog maar 27 verschillende type APC / IFV voertuigen in dienst. En waarschijnlijk niet meer dan 24 stuks zoals altijd.

Self-Propelled "Sprut-SDM1" for Indonesia



Indonesia in the near future will order from Russia self-propelled anti-tank cannons "Sprut-SDM1", said the executive director of Kurganmashzavod, who designed and produced the machine, Peter Tyukov. "Sprut SDM1" can be both amphibious and floating, it has a very good armed component. Our armored car turned out to be very successful, Rosoboronexport will conclude a contract with Indonesians in the near future, "he said." Earlier, a number of countries of South-East Asia showed interest in Sprut-SDM1.

Natuurlijk houdt het APS ergens op maar dat het al bij de 2e ATGM is dan lijkt het mij dat dit systeem een beetje overrated is

Dat is nmm ook zo. Heb ik volgens mij wel eerder gezegd hier. Het systeem is sowieso alleen maar bruikbaar tegen AT missiles, tegen KE munitie doet/ kan het echt niks.
