Textron may have formed a team of its own. 

Both GDLS and SAIK contracts were devoted to technology demonstrators. 
Here, we can see something Textron can reach without help. A dedicated page is opened on there site.

Been the first to announce something about the ARV can be a pressure to save the whole programme regarding the changes into the USMC.

Yes, it is still in the tender although there was no noise whatsoever about it for months. Only KMW left the competition due to the change of requirements. 
 
The final trials shall start any day and will finish on 6th June. 
 
Few more photos of the CV-90 CZ here: https://www.idnes.cz/zpravy/nato/bvp-testovani-ascod-lynx-cv90-armada-zakazka-obrana.A210426_155418_zpr_nato_inc/foto/nahledy#INC8afde1_IMG_4472red.jpg

I have to correct myself here. As it turns out this website was actually created by “Kavaleriklubben”, an association of former and currently serving Norwegian cavalry personnel, and it’s only now that the website is being transferred over to KMW. I guess we can expect the quality of website to improve in the future referring back to @Rico’s complaints.
 
Also, as predicted, there are now projects with the goal of extending the life of both the Leo 1 based ARVs and AEVs (Project 1043), as well as acquiring additional support vehicles on Leo 2 hull (SUP LTP M-15). Interestingly, the latter project also mentions an assault breacher vehicle ("gjennombrytingspanservogn" in the Norwegian version of this document). The Norwegian Army had plans of acquiring such vehicles back in the 90s, initially taking the form of a turretless Leo 1 with a new  superstructure, a mine plough and a MICLIC launcher, but unfortunately it never got past the drawing board. If a MICLIC launcher can be fitted to the Wisent 2 Mine Clearance variant, it would probably satisfy the requirements, I think.

Broke: The Brad is the worst IFV and can't do any mission properly.
Woke: the Brad is the best of all the IFVs of its vintage and is de facto the yardstick by which all others are measured.
Bespoke: The Brad is such an unbelievably good design that it can only be replaced by another Bradley.

Something new. Ascalon.

KF41 can reach 8 dismounts. They just have to ask for.

KMW has established a new website to promote the Leopard 2A7NO for Norway.

If I remind me well :
- KF41 seats are from Schroth ;
- AS21 seats are from Mobius.
