Singapore Airshow 2016: ST Kinetics debuts 'track over wheels' concept on Terrex armoured vehicle
Citat:although it is understood that the company is to offer its new 30-tonne Terrex 2 platform for the programme instead of the 24-tonne Terrex.
The variant on display includes its Adder remote weapon station armed with a 30-mm cannon, coaxial 7.62-mm machine gun and non-line of sight (N-LOS) missile launcher, blast attenuating seats, as well as a spare wheel on the side of the hull.
Wrapped over the two forward wheels on the starboard side of the vehicle, however, is a set of optionally fitted rubber caterpillar tracks which ST Kinetics claims has been designed to enhance the vehicle's mobility over soft and difficult terrain.
"It's an idea that has been adapted from the agricultural and forestry industry, where tracks are fitted over existing wheels to overcome the loss of traction in soft, muddy grounds," an ST Kinetics representative told IHS Jane's . "This could be an option for [military forces] to consider in the future."
Citat:The U.S. Marine Corps awarded Science Applications International Corp. a prime contract worth $121.5 million to build 13 prototypes for the Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) of the Amphibious Combat Vehicle Phase 1, Increment 1 (ACV 1.1).
^Kad vidis ovo shvatis da ovi nasi iz SDPR nisu ni priblizno najvece dileje. Pa Lazar naspram ovoga izgleda kao svemirski brod. Meni ovo izgleda kao da je neko kilavo napravio od kartona maketu APC-a i nabacio preko starog BTR-a da valjda zavara nekog da razvija novo vozilo.
