BAE Systems’ first production AMPV

As part of the German Army’s “qualified air defence” drone defence programme, sensor specialist Hensoldt has supplied the latest version of its Spexer 2000 3D radar to system integrator Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace. Spexer will be part of the C-UAS system (Counter-Unmanned Aerial System), based on Kongsberg’s remote-controlled Protector weapon station, both mounted on an armoured GTK Boxer vehicle. 10 systems are initially contracted.

The first BAE Systems Armoured MultiPurpose Vehicle (AMPV) has been delivered to the US Army. The AMPV is considered as key to the Army’s modernisation objectives and comes in five variants to meet a wide range of missions across the battlefield.
