According to a joint statement from Elbit Systems and BAE Systems this week, the two companies have teamed up to develop and integrate advanced operational capabilities for U.S. military APCs. "The arrangement focuses on implementing and integrating new technologies in combat vehicle systems to provide advanced combat capabilities," he said. The joint post.

Israel Defense has learned that Elbit will supply the turret of the unmanned aerial vehicle with all its subsystems - electronics, active protection, detection and warning systems, innovative helmets for sighting through armor, technology for autonomous driving of RPMs and more. Some of the technologies are already operational and some have been demonstrated in Israel and the US "In the framework of the" Carmel "APC project.



Defensenews.com estimates that in light of the U.S. military's additional attempt to compete between companies to replace the Bradley APC with an alternate manned barracks (OMFV), this announcement of a partnership with Elbit, a leader in advanced reconnaissance turret solutions, means that BAE plans to take part in this further experiment. BAE (the manufacturer of the Bradley) chose not to participate in the first competition on the OMFV because in its opinion the requirements and schedule for the design, development and supply of the APCs were unrealistic. In the end, the competition was not held at all because only one supplier could make a bid. The times of the auction.

In this context, the website mentions that the day before this joint announcement, Raymental announced that it had partnered with Textron in order to put its Lynx 41 APC to the OMFV tender. In the past year, Raymental made a failed attempt to enter the OMFV competition together with Raytheon. As its American partner, but failed to transfer to the U.S. territory the only Lynx ADF in its possession while the military set for the purpose of setting a physical example in the tender.

Another company that is expected to participate in the said tender is General Dynamics Land Systems which was the only company that managed to set a physical example in the previous round. In the current round the military does not require the presentation of a physical example. Last July, the U.S. military released a draft requirement and plans to publish its demands from competitors this coming December. The military plans to initially select five groups of vendors to design initial digital prototypes. For initial production, from these three groups, the group that will carry out the full production will be selected.
