The 17th International Armoured Vehicle Conference will be the setting for General Dynamics Land Systems- UK to showcase its innovative solutions for UK military vehicle programmes.
The Conference, held at Twickenham Stadium, London at the end of January 2017, will see the demonstrations of GD’s PIRANHA 5, EAGLE 4×4 and EAGLE 6×6.
A highly mobile and flexible platform, PIRANHA 5 has a gross vehicle weight of 33 tonnes, with a large free payload and a highly-protected transport volume, giving it significant growth potential throughout its life. Having completed successful competitive trails, the vehicle has already been selected by Denmark and Spain and is a contender for the UK’s Mechanised Infantry Vehicle (MIV) programme.
Winning the UK FRES Utility Vehicle (UV) competition in 2008, IAVC will allow GD to showcase PIRANHA 5’s further innovations in Electronic Architectures, mobility and protection.
Already in service with the German, Swiss and Danish Armie, EAGLE is a combat-proven vehicle that provides superior tactical mobility and highest-protection in its class. With a range of 4×4 and 6×6 configurations, EAGLE can fulfill roles such as Armoured Personnel Carrier, Ambulance, Recovery, Command, Reconnaissance and Logistics.
General Dynamics Land Systems has a long pedigree and worldwide experience in delivering tracked and wheeled military vehicles, alongside specialist knowledge in complex, scalable Electronic Architectures. It delivers, amongst others, the Abrams main battle tank, LAV (Light Armoured Vehicle) and Stryker Family of Vehicles and the Cougar Mine Resistant Ambush – Protected (MRAP).
