Greek Army reportedly to acquire 1,200 M1117 armored vehicles from US Army

The vehicles will arrive with turrets but without armament so the Greek Army needs to acquire and install machine guns and grenade launchers, according to the report

The Greek Army is about to procure its first M1117 Guardian armored vehicles, a report by the Global Defense Corp website says. Over the summer, the US Congress approved the sale of 1,200 used armored vehicles said to be in excellent condition for about 70,000 euros each although the real value is estimated to be at least 500,000 euros each. The abovementioned price includes the turrets but not the armament so the Greek Army needs to acquire and install the machine guns and the grenade launchers, the report said. 

The M1117 Guardian, a 4x4 vehicle developed in the late 1990s, has armor that reportedly can not only withstand explosions of 5kg mines but also explosions of 155mm artillery shells at a distance of 15 meters. The M-1117 weighs 13.4 tons and is 6 meters long, 2.6 meters wide and 2.6 meters high. The vehicle is powered by an 8.3-liter Cummins diesel engine that produces 260 horsepower and has a torque said to be easy to perceive. Its maximum speed reaches about 100 kilometers per hour, and the version that the Greek Army will reportedly receive could carry five people. The vehicle offers the crew 360-degree vision, has an air conditioning system and its armor is tilted to fire anti-tank rockets, according to the report.

Gingen ze niet voorde Lynx? Ik dacht dat ze al aardig scherp waren daarmee.

Rheinmetall en partner Raytheon zijn al een keer weggestuurd. In de volgende fase konden ze terugkomen en zoals bekend is er nog geen keuze gemaakt.

US Army launches design phase for Bradley replacement

The U.S. Army is launching a phase for the concept design of its future Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle, which is intended to replace the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle.

The service held a virtual industry day Dec. 9 for the $4.6 billion and plans to release a request for proposals to move into the design phase by the end of the month, according to a Dec. 9 Army statement issued following the completion of the industry event.

Since the service bungled its original attempt to hold a competition for the OMFV program, the Army has reconfigured the effort into one that lets industry dictate much of what is in the realm of the possible.

The Army's first attempt laid out threshold requirements on a timeline that many in industry did not see as feasible or worth the investment. BAE Systems, which manufactures the Bradley, for instance, decided not to enter. And when only one physical bid sample from General Dynamics Land Systems was turned in by the deadline, the Army went back to the drawing board and came up with a different competitive plan with more flexibility.

Instead of a laundry list of requirements that, when paired together, became unachievable in the timeline, the Army laid out nine characteristics to help shape designs.

The Army plans to request whitepapers and then choose five prime contractor teams to design rough digital prototypes. The service will then award up to three contracts for a detailed design and prototype phase that will include options for low-rate initial production. One vendor will be selected to go into production.

Following the release of a draft request for proposals in July, the Army has taken into account a wealth of industry feedback and incorporated it into its plans for the upcoming phase of competition.

The service plans to spend $4.6 billion from fiscal 2022 through FY26 on OMFV so it is turning to industry input earlier and more than ever.

Croatia Cleared to Buy 76 Bradley AFVs, 1,700 TOW Missiles in $757M Deal

Croatia – Bradley Fighting Vehicle Refurbishment/Modernization

The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Croatia of refurbishment/modernization and support for seventy-six (76) M2A2 Operation Desert Storm (ODS) Bradley Fighting vehicles and related equipment for an estimated cost of $757 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.

The Government of Croatia has requested to buy refurbishment/modernization and support for seventy-six (76) M2A2 Operation Desert Storm (ODS) Bradley Fighting vehicles consisting of:

-- eighty-four (84) M240 machine guns;
-- one thousand one hundred three (1,103) TOW 2A Radio Frequency (RF) missiles;
-- sixteen (16 ) TOW 2A Radio Frequency (RF) fly‑to‑buy lot acceptance missiles;
-- one hundred (100) TOW 2B Radio Frequency (RF) missiles;
-- eight (8 ) TOW 2B Radio Frequency (RF) fly-to-buy lot acceptance missiles;
-- five hundred (500) TOW Bunker Buster (BB) Radio Frequency (RF) missiles; and
-- eight (8 ) TOW BB fly-to-buy lot acceptance missiles.

Also included are M257 Smoke Grenade Launchers; ammunition; radios; simulator; special armor; Hunter/Killer technology, which may include an exportable Commander's Independent Viewer (CIV); spare and repair parts; support equipment; upgrade/maintenance of engines and transmissions; refurbishment of TOW launchers; depot level support; communication support equipment; tool and test equipment; training; U.S. Government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support.

The total estimated program cost is $757 million.

This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by improving the security of a NATO Ally that continues to be an important force for political stability and economic progress in Europe.

This proposed sale of the Bradley vehicle refurbishment/modernization will contribute to Croatia's goal of updating its military capability while further enhancing interoperability with the United States and other allies. Croatia will have no difficulty absorbing these equipment and support into its armed forces.

The proposed sale of this equipment will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

The prime contractors will be BAE Systems, York, Pennsylvania; and Raytheon Missile Systems, Tucson, Arizona. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.

Ik weet niet of ze een MLRS laten zien in de video of dat het eerder een ATGM platform is, al kan je dat natuurlijk ook omschrijven als een MLRS of Missile Tank Destroyer (MTD).

En ze noemen het ''MGCS'' maar ook ''Titan'', misschien is dit wel de (Franse) benaming voor de nieuwe MBT.
waarom heb ik het gevoel dat we hier een soort landversie van de NH-90 of F35 te zien krijgen, en op het eind een platform dat in theorie alles moet kunnen maar in de praktijk het net niet haalt omdat het teveel moet kunnen?

Huzaar1

Ik begrijp dat ze het onderstel willen kunnen gebruiken voor meerdere toepassingen, dit zeg ik zonder het desbetreffende 'filmpje'gekeken te hebben, mijn frans is evengoed als mijn Chinees.
Redelijke eis, als het maar niet ten koste gaat van het hoofdcconcept, een MBT

Dit is wat ik heb kunnen herleiden als "modules" vanuit het MGCS programma

MGCS could be the frame to study a European Land PlatForm based on a common architecture and declined in several versions like MBT, IFV, Anti Tank, Reconnaissance, Artillery, Engineer Combat Vehicle.. and some innovative ones like "mother ship" for UGV, Drone Killer or loitering munitions launcher/dispenser. A common base design including common elments would be used to create versions and models for national and export needs.

Volgens het filmpje is Titan het systeem dat onder andere op basis van AI het MGCS verbindt met de andere wapensystemen (land, zee, lucht, cyber) en zo de commandant overzicht verschaft. Kortom, bevordert gecoördineerd en genetwerkt optreden.

Als we het filmpje moeten geloven gaat het MGCS ook de basis worden voor een IFV en MLRS variant. Het Common Indirect Fire System (CIFS) met Duitsland ook op rups. Frankrijk is een interessante, voor hun doen nieuwe, weg ingeslagen.
