The Flyer can becarried internally in the V-22, CH-47 or CH-53, and underslungby the UH-60L. Multiple vehicles can be carried by transportaircraft such as the C-130. The vehicles modular approachprovides the warfighter with a rapid mission reconfigurationcapability. The vehicle can be quickly configured in the field toperform multiple missions such as light strike assault, rescueand evacuation, C2 and reconnaissance, either armoured orunarmoured. The Flyers design is adaptable to severe, ruggedand restrictive terrains and provides off-road, cross-countrymobility in all types of weather conditions. The vehicle uses ahigh percentage of mature COTS and NSN components. TheFlyer can be up-armoured with a modular, bolt-on armour kit.Variants include: Light Strike Armored/Unarmored; Rescue

and Personnel Recovery; Reconnaissance; C4ISR; andCommunication. The armoured variant features: armouredfour-door cab, which provides NIJ Level B6 ballistic protection;armoured rear cargo area up to height of vehicle roofline, whichprovides Level B6 ballistic protection; and crew cab ballisticdoors.

BAE Systems Challenger 2The Challenger 2 MBT was introduced into British Army servicein 1993 as a replacement for the Challenger 1, which wassuccessfully employed in the 1990-1991 Gulf War. Delivery of386 tanks to the British Army was completed in 2002, and 38were built for Oman. The production line is now closed. TheChallenger 2 retains the hull, albeit much improved, of itspredecessor and features a new turret armed with thehigh-pressure 120mm L30 gun. The integrated FCS providescommander (360 traverse) and gunner (limited traverse) withindependently gyro-stabilised optical/thermal sights, eachequipped with a laser rangefinder. BAE Systems suppliedupgrade kits for 137 tanks for the 2003 invasion of Iraq andfurther improvements were made to Challenger 2s employedduring the subsequent stabilisation operation. The British Armyfleet will be cut to 227 tanks, sufficient to equip three Type 56armoured regiments. The tanks are expected to be modernised,when funding permits, to ensure their effectiveness beyond

2030.

Bumar subsidiary OBRUM developed the Anders LightExpeditionary Tank from the Anders Multirole Combat Platformto meet a Polish Army requirement for a tracked fire supportvehicle with comparable firepower to an MBT. The Anders tankwas first displayed at MSPO 2010 armed with a Ruag 120mmsmoothbore gun fed by an automatic loader. A UKM-2000C7.62mm coaxial MG is mounted to the left of the mainarmament, and there is a ZSMU-1276 Kobuz RCWS on theturret roof which can be armed with a WKM-B 12.7mm HMGor GA-40 2008 40mm AGL.

Iveco Fiat-Oto Melara Societ Consortile (CIO) developed theB1 Centauro mobile gun system in the 1980s as a replacementfor the Italian Armys M47 tanks. The Centauro was issued tothe armys wheeled medium brigades in parallel with CIOsC1 Ariete MBT which equips the tracked heavy brigades. CIOproduced 400 Centauros from 1991-1996 armed with a105mm gun plus 84 for the Spanish Army in two batchesbetween 2000 and 2006. As an alternative to the 7.5t 105mmarmed turret, CIO integrated the 5.7t HITFACT turret armedwith a 120mm smoothbore gun. Oman became the launch

customer for the resulting Centauro 120 with an initial order inearly 2008 for six plus an option for another three exercised in2009. CIO has developed prototypes of a more compact120mm-armed vehicle to meet the Italian Armys requirementfor a Centauro 2 expected to enter service from the middle ofthe decade (funding permitting). The Centauro chassis wasused as the basis for a family of AFVs. (Specifications for

The M1 Abrams was introduced into US Army service in 1980as a replacement for the M60. More than 8,800 were built forthe army in various models (M1, M1A1, M1A2) while 403M1A1s were supplied to the USMC. The M1 has been exportedto Australia (59 ex-US Army M1A1 AIM), Egypt (over 1,000M1A1s co-produced locally), Iraq (140 M1A1Ms), Kuwait (218M1A2s) and Saudi Arabia (315 M1A2s). The M1 has benefittedfrom continuous product improvements funded by the USArmy, resulting in numerous service models, the latest beingthe M1A2 System Enhancement Package (SEP), which features

the Force XXI Battle Command Brigade and Below system andimproved cooling. The Tank Urban Survival Kit (TUSK), a seriesof improvements to enhance the M1s ability to operate inbuilt-up environments, has been developed as a result ofexperience since 2003. The US Army expects the M1 to remainin service with its armour brigade combat teams until about2050, and plans to finish its Abrams M1A2 SEP buy in 2014

and begin upgrading the fleet in 2017, although there isstrong Congressional support for sustaining M1 production.GD is proposing installing an MTU 883 diesel engine andAllison transmission, similar to the powerplant in thecompanys Ground Combat Vehicle proposal for the US Army,to replace the current Honeywell turbine. According to GD, this

would reduce running costs by 14%.

The Alligator vehicle family, available in both 6x6 and 8x8configurations, is the culmination of the extensive developmentwork BAE Systems did for the Swedish Armys SEP modulararmoured vehicle project, which was intended to produce ahybrid diesel-electric-powered modular AFV design in bothtracked and wheeled configurations. The first trackeddemonstrator was completed in 2000, and the first wheeleddemonstrator in 2003. When the programme was launched in1994, the army requirement was for 1,600 vehicles in up to 24variants. Sweden cancelled the project in February 2008 when

it could not find an international collaborative partner tocomplete development and production. The Alligator provideshigh levels of protection and tactical mobility to operate on-and off-road fully combat-loaded. Based on the principles ofcommonality, flexibility and upgradeability, the Alligator isdesigned to provide a level of payload capacity and growthpotential to meet future needs.

The battle-proven Bradley Fighting Vehicle has been at theforefront of US Army operations since the first unit wasequipped in 1983. The M2 IFV equips mechanised infantrybattalions, while the M3 Cavalry Fighting Vehicle is used byreconnaissance units with armoured brigade combat teams(ABCTs). The latest Bradley A3 has proven itself in both urbanoperations and open warfare scenarios in Iraq. The A3features digitised electronics for optimum situational awareness,network connectivity and communication within the ABCTs. BAESystems also provides the battle-provenBradley A2 ODS, a capable solution, although with fewertechnological enhancements.
