2805662 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Well, with the ECP to the dual V Hull Stryker in train, it looks like the MGS is being left even farther behind. Sad - it’s my favourite variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramlaen Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) The Army is going over it’s options for the A5 Bradley.

DogDodger Posted January 30, 2018 Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 Although the Duke boys' new machine wasn't quite as fast as the General Lee, Rosco was nonetheless presented with an entirely new set of problems.

Renegade334 Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Maybe because the M8 Buford is back on the testing range for the MPF contest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that the Army keeps hinting at MPF having a 105mm gun makes me think that they want to use the XM35 in whichever vehicle is chosen.

Would the gun be considered GFE under the program? Also, I would’ve thought that the gun on the M8 would’ve been type classified when the platform was - i.e. why is it still the XM35 and not the M35?

I would assume it’s viable, that document is from before SAIC/STK/CMI threw their hat in the ring. Speaking of which I think their chances will be heavily influenced by the ACV selection.

The US fully tested the XM35 (isn’t it a derivative of the M68A1?) back in the Nineties, so they’d have a detailed level of understanding and comfort with the XM35, presumably. Cockerill 105? Not so much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
