Ramlaen Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 This vehicle says ICVV, but it has some sort of equipment on the hull front that doesn't look like a plow or mine roller mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SH_MM Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Upgraded Bradley and AMPV at AUSA 2016: The AMPV actually uses a new hull based on a modified Bradley hull, which is not fully compatible with the existing Bradley design. The Bradley has new headlights, a new suspension (I assume, based on the suspension element at the left), a new ERA kit for the sides and apparently a new/modified engine? The weight-inefficient old base armor is still kept due to budget reasons probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramlaen Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 The applique armor is different, or at least much thicker. This shot from BAE's twitter shows what looks like a retractable shield for when missiles are being reloaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SH_MM Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Cockerill 3030 on Stryker It's not a Stryker, but a LAV (Desert Piranha) made for Saudi-Arabia. Here is the 105 mm gun version: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scolopax Posted October 6, 2016 Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Bah, I knew it looked a bit 'clean' for a Stryker. The Cockerill 3030 turret is supposed to be trialed on the Stryker though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pretty interesting actually, and it can be more heavily armored than the MCT-30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramlaen Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 I am interested if the thicker applique armor on the next gen Brad is going to be used on production AMPV's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramlaen Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 -CMI's 3000 series turret + Raytheon sight won a downselect for a ARDEC research & development project -a C-17 can carry 3 M8's at level 3 armor -ATK's 30x173mm airburst round uses the same fuse as the 25mm grenades in the XM25 -all four of ATK's 40x180mm rounds will be ready for production by the second quarter 2017 -M829A4 is in production -the US Army will "probably" make its decision on which 120mm AMP round it wants around the first of the year -Iron Fist Light is "about a quarter the weight" of other APS systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xoon Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 It has no hunter/killer capability? They could slap a RCWS on top to give it hunter/killer capability. The rest would be programming. It also lacks any type of MG, which may pose a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SH_MM Posted October 28, 2016 Report Share Posted October 28, 2016 It also lacks any type of MG, which may pose a problem. The MG can be mounted externally above the main gun. You can see the belt for the ammunition in the second photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
