BAE Systems’ fourth Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) prototype is being showcased at Eurosatory this week. Configured with a common top plate, also known as the External Mission Equipment Package (ExMEP), the prototype showcases the vehicle’s ability to integrate capabilities and equipment packages internationally.
This AMPV prototype features Oshkosh Defense’s Medium Caliber Weapon System (MCWS), a 30mm weapon system with planned fielding to the U.S. Army’s Stryker Brigade Combat Teams. The vehicle’s ExMEP can adapt to more than 30 different turret systems and builds on the vehicle’s modularity. This creates a seamless path for international customers to address various mission needs with the AMPV platform. |

BAE Systems is launching its next-generation 40mm anti-aircraft system, Tridon Mk2, at Eurosatory 2024, showcasing its unique capability to protect against ever-evolving aerial threats. “The Tridon Mk2 is the ideal solution for combat operations, where soldiers need a proven, high-precision and reliable anti-aircraft system to keep the skies clear and protect troops and infrastructure,” said Lena Gillström, president of BAE Systems Bofors. “The adaptability of the system, which can evolve as threats continue to change, is what makes it one of the most effective anti-aircraft systems on the market today.” |
BAE Systems is showcasing the CV90MkIV with a new turret at Eurosatory. This configuration will soon be delivered to Slovakia and the Czech Republic, in close cooperation with their defence industries.
The CV90MkIV represents the most recent evolution of the CV90 family of vehicles. Building on a proud legacy of world class mobility and survivability, spanning more than two decades, the CV90MkIV brings unrivalled technological capabilities and flexibility to complex battlefields. |
BAE Systems’ hyper-mobile all-terrain vehicle Beowulf will be showcased in the configuration chosen for the U.S. Army’s Cold Weather All-Terrain Vehicle (CATV) program, at Eurosatory. |
Good grief? 87 threads...
Why? Mental illness clearly. |
Geko, he spent about 50 minutes spamming 87 threads. Yet another name added to my filter list. Muppet.

Their Majesties The King and The Queen officially opened ‘The Winston Churchill Centre for Education and Learning’ at the site of the British Normandy Memorial on 6 June 2024, the 80th anniversary of D-Day. The unveiling of a plaque took place at 11:30 BST following the national commemoration.
This historic moment will also be attended by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, Leader of the Opposition Sir Keir Starmer, Chair of the Normandy Memorial Trust, General Lord Richard Dannatt and Chair of BAE Systems, Cressida Hogg, among other VIPs and dignitaries. The Winston Churchill Centre has been funded through a donation of £600,000 from the Trust’s principal sponsor, BAE Systems.
The Ministry of Defence has also contributed to the construction of the Centre, alongside the Normandy Region, the Department of Calvados and the Seulles Terre et Mer Community of Communes. The new building houses two educational exhibition galleries telling the stories of those who fought on D-Day and in the Battle of Normandy, curated by The Royal British Legion. |
BAE Systems received an $95 million contract from the U.S. Navy for advanced countermeasure pods to protect the P-8A Poseidon Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft from missiles and other threats.

"War will drive a decade of arms restocking, says firm"
Although the article is based on Chemring the issues raised apply equally to BAE. |
BAE Systems has been selected to build the Ocean Color Instrument (OCX) for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Geostationary Extended Observations (GeoXO) satellite constellation. With the selection, BAE Systems is now contracted to build all three hyperspectral instruments for the mission, including OCX, the GeoXO Sounder (GXS), and the Atmospheric Composition Instrument (ACX). BAE Systems is leveraging modular designs and its extensive experience managing multiple instrument programs to drive efficiencies and deliver value for the nation across the OCX, GXS, and ACX programs.
Residents and scientists across North America now have access to enhanced air quality data in their area following the launch of a publicly available data platform for the BAE Systems Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) instrument. The mission was developed as a collaborative effort between NASA’s Langley Research Center and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, part of the Harvard & Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and will serve as a major step forward in efforts to better understand and address air pollution issues throughout the continent. |
