    ? Ah ti riferisci alla notizia dell'unione con la BA>E riguardo al nuovo mezzo blindato con ruote. Bisogna vedere se lo vinceranno...come già ho ripetuto, l'unica che ci guadagna é l'Italia...

    Io sarei felice se una ditta italiana si aggiudica un concorso così, c'è tutto da guadagnarci come dice royal! E poi stiamo parlando di una fornitura all'esercito americano, quindi bei soldini

    Magari verremo ricordati dagli stranieri non solo per i soliti clichè.

    speriamo di non venire ricordati per quelli che hanno prodotto un veicolo-sòla come il lince

    Testing now underway for JLTV prototype

    ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. — Joint Light Tactical Vehicle program officials are now testing vehicle prototypes at Aberdeen Test Center, Md., and Yuma Proving Ground, Ariz.
    They are searching for a vehicle both the Marine Corps and the Army intend to field in 2015; one that will be more mobile and reliable than a Humvee, but provide the protection of a Mine Resistant, Ambush-Protected vehicle.
    Commandant Gen. James Conway, however, has called the program into question, saying industry has not yet developed a vehicle light enough to be carried by helicopter.
    Among prototypes now being tested are models produced by BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin and General Tactical Vehicle, a dual venture between AM General and General Dynamics Land Systems. Each company delivered prototypes across three weight classes in early May.
    Over the next 12 months, the prototypes will undergo testing that will help complete program requirements in preparation for a full and open competition scheduled to begin next summer.
    “We’ll say, ‘OK, did we get it right or did we ask for a bridge too far in requirements?’ ” Army Lt. Col. Wolfgang Petermann, product manager for the Army’s JLTV program, told reporters at a June 3 prototype demonstration.
    Reporters had a chance to ride in two styles of prototypes.
    The prototypes, from each of the three companies, rolled over the hills, dips and bumps on the dirt test track with ease.
    The four-seat Category A vehicles are the lightest of the prototypes so they can be loaded into a C-130 aircraft and, it is hoped, sling-loaded from CH-47 and CH-53 helicopters. They have a payload of about 3,500 pounds.
    Category A vehicles will “support those early entry requirements, so units have that combat capability, so they can hit the ground and get moving right away,” Petermann said. There will also be a Category A Enhanced Protection variant, which will provide more armor protection when needed.
    The Category B vehicles will have six seats, more armor protection and a payload of up to 4,500 pounds. Category C vehicles will be designed for the support role and have payloads of up to 5,100 pounds.
    All the JLTV prototypes are designed to provide “MRAP-like protection” to passengers from the powerful, homemade bombs that have become commonplace on battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan, said Dean Johnson, deputy program manager for the Marine Corps JLTV program.
    The prototypes have a base armor package, and also have suspensions and attachment points to handle additional armor packages capable of stopping sophisticated explosively formed penetrator bombs, also known as EFPs. The prototypes have either V-shaped or inverted U-shaped hulls to redirect the force of bomb blasts away from the vehicle.
    All the seats are designed to be attached to the walls to better protect passengers. Seats attached to the floor of the vehicle, like those on the Humvee, transfer the blast energy to the passengers.
    The windows and windshields on the JLTV are smaller and positioned closer to the ceiling than on the Humvee to provide better protection. All the prototypes are designed to offer improved rollover protection over the Humvee.
    In addition to protection, all the prototypes are equipped with the option to have a turret gunner or the Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station, or CROWS, that allows a service member to track and kill targets from a computer monitor inside the safety of the vehicle.

    La notizia è del 21 giugno 2010, non l'ho letta tutta poi la leggerò con calma, ma in breve i marines hanno avviato insieme allo US Army e all'esercito Australiano un programma per un nuovo veicolo leggero (che rientra nella categoria dell'hummer, quindi andrà a sostituire la nostra cara humvee ) e che sarà prodotto dalla BAE System in collaborazione con la Lockheed Martin e la General Tactical Vehicle.

    A cosa gli serviranno tutti questi mezzi leggeri, non l'ho capito...


    Altra news, è presa dall'album ufficiale dei marines su flickr e non ho trovato riscontro in altri siti (quindi è si ufficiale ma non si sa praticamente niente)

    Marines introduce robotic targets




    Ultima news, questa davvero ridicola dal mio punto di vista perchè sembra una delle solite idee strambe dei generali USMC

    Marine Corps Tests Golf Carts as Possible Tactical Vehicle

    This article taken from the July 19, 2010 edition of the Marine Corps Times

    An unmanned, tactical golf cart is among gear undergoing tests this month that could reduce the load Marines have to carry while downrange.
    Other examples include a high-tech radio system the size of a BlackBerry and a remote-controlled machine gun.
    The Marine Corps Warfighting Lab is testing the gear during an experiment within small-unit teams deployed to austere locations.
    Called Limited Objective Experiment-4, the tests are occurring at Marine Corps Training Area Bellows in Hawaii and about 20 miles away in parts of the Kahuku Mountains. It is piggybacking on the biennial Rim of the Pacific exercises, which includes 14 participating nations and 34 ships.
    The experiment marks the culmination of six years of studies at the war-fighting lab, based at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Va., that started in 2004 with a look at distributed operations — a form of maneuver warfare where small units can gain the advantage over the enemy by spreading out over large areas — and has evolved to today’s focus of empowering small units and giving them the tools they need to operate more efficiently, said Vince Goulding, the director of MCWL’s experiments division.
    A closer look at the gear:
    • No ordinary golf cart. The Ground Unmanned Support Surrogate, or GUSS, can be programmed to follow Marines on patrol while toting up to 500 pounds of equipment. GUSS can be operated autonomously or driven by a Marine, and it can be programmed to return to a home base on its own. Goulding said four vehicles are being used in the experiment to conduct autonomous resupply and limited casualty movement missions.
    • RoboMarine. The Modular Advanced Armed Robotic System, or MAARS, is a remotely operated M240G machine gun with remote targeting and intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities that offer Marines more situational awareness. The 300-pound robot, an improved version of the SWORDS robot the Army used in Iraq, can travel 7 mph and fire one-at-a-time like a sniper or up to 400 rounds at once.
    • Tactical comms. Goulding said each rifle squad participating in the experiment is receiving a Distributed Tactical Communications System, a radio that provides on-the-move, beyond line-of-sight tactical communications with about a 200-mile range. That’s a vast improvement over existing tactical communication systems, most of which are still just line-of-sight, Goulding said. The experimental gear also tells company commanders where their squads are located — a necessity when calling in fire support at the company level, he added.
    The TrellisWare TW-220 is another piece in the tactical communications suite. It allows Marines to link with everyone in their squad. The BlackBerry-sized radio doesn’t operate over the horizon. But by linking to other members of your squad, Marines can create a network that expands indefinitely, as long as they have a buddy in sight.
    Ci mancava solo la macchinina da golf corazzata e robotizzata
