a open turret hatch . . . you mean the Commander's top hatch in the AMPV doesn't have a hatch (open/close) lid . . . the AMPV could have been a tad wider & slightly higher raised hull . . . it'd have greatly increased the available space in the crew & troop compartment, that otherwise is just too cramped . . . a heavy duty 5.5 in. suspension lift for enhanced off roadability that'd have complemented the torsion bar suspension of the AMPV . . . a turretless variant of the AMPV with a heightened (raised) hull would be even better . . . a compact 360° deg rotating remote weapons station is more than enough to take on most combat situations, instead of a turret . . .

So how is this going to mesh with the XM30 replacement for the Bradley? How come the XM30 remains stuck at the two competitors phase? When is it going to production? Looks like a lot of overlap in capability here.

[@FunnyQuailMan]

XM30 competition downselected to 2 competitors only a year or two ago. It's certainly not stuck. If I recall correctly, something like 7 prototypes each from Rheinmetall & GDLS are due to be delivered for testing & competition in either '25 or '26, final selection the year after, start of low-rate production targeted for '27 or '28 and IOC planned for '29 or '30.

Before they add a new generation of armored vehicles, I'm really hoping the Army is taking the new battle space in mind, which includes potentially thousands of cheap drones buzzing overhead and precision missiles, which before too long some countries will be able to use to hit even moving targets. I don't see that anyone has properly addressed this or come up with any viable solution for. Right now, the war in Ukraine has shown the battle tank to be nothing more than a target for drones, and armored fighting vehicles to be nothing more than a troop concentration point that can easily be destroyed taking the troops along with it. And it's only going to get worse when everybody starts churning out millions of these drones. Right now, 1/800th of the US defense budget can create one million drones. How is armor going to stop these kind of numbers? Just about any major or intermediate military in the world is capable of this sort of production. Building new armored vehicles is just a way to create scrap metal and dead soldiers when we look at what's on the way. As cheap as these drones are, I could easily see the US having numbers counted in the tens or even hundreds of millions. How does armor beat that or any of our current anti-drone systems? Image a swarm of a million drones coming after your army's armor all at once. Even if lasers were employed, the cost of producing enough of these super high-tech weapons to defeat this kind of threat would break the budget quickly.

They have microwave arrays that fry everything in a wide arc.

[@caracoidwren944]

@@robertklimczak5630 The problem is, even those jammers (when eventually probably being made to work) are already being beat by tech already available. For example, switching to onboard optical tracking of the target, which would allow the drones to fly without outside guidance once the target has been identified already exists. I'm not suggesting that no counter measures could be adopted to get around this, but so far our shoulder fired antitank weapons don't have a jamming problem because Russians have shown us they can't figure out how to stop them. It's a war of actions vs. counter actions, and the fact that Russia is reverting to crude Da Vinci-reminiscent turtle tanks making the tank's barrel ineffective by blocking its ability to rotate clearly demonstrates the current effectiveness of these drones. Installing counter measures against today's most basic drones doesn't mean there are no ways drones are already capable of being fitted with more currently existing effective counter-counter measures. Yes, they will eventually lead to increases in the cost of each drone, but so too will it increase the cost of the armored vehicle outfitted with counter measures. Another way drones have changed the battlefield is their ability to "see all" day and night meaning that artillery can be brought to bear on massed formations. In other words, a drone doesn't need to be close to the target to preempt these armored formations.

[@caracoidwren944]

@@knowahnosenothing4862 What they've applied hasn't stopped Ukrainian drones from destroying armored vehicles of all types. Even as Russia goes on the offensive and Ukraine is left bereft of artillery shells, the drones have continued to keep Russia away from using massed armored attacks. When a drone passes into that arc you speak of, its signal dies to the operator, but from my perspective on videos coming from drones, they only go dead maybe 20 feet from the target, which generally means a steady course will still result in a hit.

The main question, who will BAe Systems in the United States, first export customers be for the AMPV? Because with all the international operators, of the old M113 Armoured Personnel Carrier family, BAe System must already be looking for export customers for the AMPV, in Europe and to Nato Allies especially. As well as export customers in the Meddle East, or in South America, or in Asia and the Far East, maybe to Australia and New Zealand too, or BAe Systems hoping to sale the AMPV to the British Army as replacement for old FV-432 APC's still in service too? Though not looking to sale the AMPV to Ukraine, while the war with Russia is still going on.

[@vincentrivera743]

With the technological advancements of attack drones, how armies employ mechanized and armored units must adapt otherwise these million dollar vehicles will become steel coffins. It may begin with tracks/wheels blown off by mines or drones that will stop the armored vehicle, only to be finished later by additional drone attacks or artillery. The men who survive will be attacked by gunfire/artillery. Unless protective devices are installed in these vehicles against drones, the vehicles will be destroyed at leisure by enemy fire. This calls for a new type of battle tank that is unscrewed and remotely controlled. Mechanized infantry is supported by anti-drone vehicles.

The war in Ukraine has validated the Bradley's upon which this is based, survivability. It's reached legendary status in that conflict. The Bradley replacement is under field testing leading to production in 2026. Now add in the Booker and this army will have changed. In fact I believe the days of the ultra heavy MBT are numbered. The ancient Bradley proved if properly armed and with a trained crew they can go head to head with MBTs. I say slap a pair of ATM's on the Booker along with active protection and forget spending billions on new Abrams. Those days are gone. This army needs to be mobile and the Abrams takes to long to deploy. The Ukraine war showed the value of infantry support vs large heavy MBT formations. We are seeing the same dynamic vs China. Time for these ancient miiltary thinkers to be replaced by people who understand what warfare has evolved into.

Lol. First Medical Evac vehicle that is armed with Machine Gun Turret. Yeah, I get it is intended for Vehicle and Patient defense. Then again if looks like duck, and can act like duck, it is freaking duck. Second, why would down grade the Bradley platform to make new APC base type vehicles. Yes, the M113 base version are showing their age, but it was created during a different time and phase of Mechanized Warfare. When these vehicles were basically Battle Taxi, and it variants were suppose to be kept in the rear of fighting edge of the Front. Since they were first manufactured the M113 and it variants have been pushed forward to edge of the fighting edge of the Front has expanded to what use to be the 'safe' rear areas, with new advance in Armored/Mechanized warfare. Add the advancement of employment of various Helicopter formation didn't help either. I mean having 3 or 4 Different base Vehicles for the Armored, IFV (Mechanized Infantry/Armored Cavalry), and at least APC based support vehicles makes sense. The forth being maybe Light Tank (Assault Gun/Armored Car) type vehicle to give Airborne/Air Assault/Airmobile/Light Infantry type units some extra muscle that they lost when the M551 were stood down.
