The KEW-A3 is an update of the KEW-A2 with SCDB propellant:

Odd. Vehicle is distinct from the Katalyst they brought & similar to what we've seen of their OMFV previously. Maybe they didn't want to make another 3D asset

Another view of the GDLS OMFV candidate.

Point Blank has totally changed their OMFV concept

The Czechs are buying 52 of the Caesar 8x8 variant.

Looks remarkably similar to the Israeli Carmel project.

Came across a document on the LV100 engine which has a tidbit on the ASM program:

Apparently, Teledyne ended up winning and producing a vehicle, though the image quality isn't great.

Is there any more info/photographs of this thing out there?

There's now footage of the AMX-13/Ontos thing firing:

@DogDodger According to Infodefensa, they received a pair of M32s in 1945 as Lend-lease aid.

The Venezuelan army has restored an M32 recovery vehicle to service.

@Ramlaen 6 proposals now.

The Lynx seems like Rheinmetall isn't even trying

How so? They're developing a unique variant of the Lynx and involving some of the biggest defense contractors around for their bid. 

It appears to be the updated Bradley chassis they showed off in 2016, judging by the position of the headlights. Still hard to see this competing with the Lynx or another clean-sheet design.

BAE's OMFV bid.

When was OMFV cancelled?

It wasn't cancelled, in fact the initial digital designs are due this Friday.

The Lynx will, if selected by the Army, have an electric drive from Allison.

Challenger 2 Owner's Workshop Manual from Haynes

I believe that is the wheeled prototype for the Future Combat Systems program, which ended up losing to the tracked variant.

AI as commander? That's even more daring than having AI replacing a gunner or a driver in my opinion.

Don't think there's any indication of that other than this dude saying so with no source on twitter.

New North Korean tank, from their parade.

At about 32 seconds in, you can see the Lynx being shown to the Army has 7 roadwheels per side, rather than 6.
