In the United States announced a tender for the supply of armored vehicles MPF

10
The US Army has issued a request for proposals for the supply of BBM under the Mobile Protected Firepower Program (MPF, Mobile Protected Firepower), reports TSAMTO with reference to Jane's Defense Weekly.



It is assumed that the armored vehicle MPF will be a light tank weighing 25-35 t, equipped with a 105-mm gun. In addition, the possibility of transporting two MPF armored vehicles aboard the Globmaster-17 BTA C-3 aircraft was put forward as one of the main requirements.

According to the request, the proposals on vehicles should provide “high security, range, protection against cyber threats, direct fire with high accuracy during the invasion operations”. They should be used "in conjunction with GMV multi-purpose all-terrain vehicles and LRV light reconnaissance vehicles."

In total, it is planned to purchase 504 MPF armored vehicles, which will be used at the brigade level and below.

Interested companies must submit their proposals to 1 March 2018.

The US Army Command is supposed to receive MPF samples via 14 months after signing the contract.

As expected, BAE Systems and General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) will participate in the MPF competition.

“BAE Systems can offer the M8 AGS (Armored Gun System) armored artillery system, and GLDS has a Griffin medium tracked vehicle demonstrator. The design of the latter uses tower elements and a 120-mm main battle gun tank M1A1 / M1A2 "Abrams", as well as the armored vehicle "Ajax", ”the material says.

    As always, they will give birth to a monstrous monster, impose an army, and they will drag it in to their lackeys around the world at fantastic prices! A kind of ground-based version of the f35, at the price of zumwalt!

        so they gave birth to the Patton4 hybrid. Patton's chassis is the tower of Abrasha, lacking in the scope of the thought to make a new one. they only stifle a toad and scold our T14. Hi hi.

        And this is even more:




        All this was already "in the Simpsons", but apparently it didn’t work against the main combat men anyway, and from that it didn’t take off. And here they’ll probably design, build, and disperse.

    They want to get samples in 14 months. Are they the ones who want to beat us?
