AMPV will replace M113. However FFV at some point in the future, might end with family of heavy tracked vehicles. GCV program intended to develop such family of vehicles, first variant was infantry fighting vehicle to replace M2 Bradley. Next would be self propelled howitzer to replace M109...

Anyone ever wondered how GCV prototypes look like? Well above is BAE Automotive Test Rig, which is early hull concept of GCV IFV, which is used to test it's automotive components. Notice hydrogas suspension system, also road wheels, sprockets, idler wheels (well idlers and road wheels looks to...

It seems that US Army plans silently some sort of modernization for M2 IFV's. This looks like Kongsberg unmanned turret, same turret is tested on the new Stryker APC variant. Such turret improves a lot, have better main armament (30mm automatic cannon instead of 25mm automatic cannon on the...

Are these have hull belly reinforced against mines?

3D model of Rosomak APC with ZSSW-30 unmanned turret system.

This is first official vusialization of new Polish IFV based on lighter variant of universal modular tracked platform, this variant is amphibious, it have unmanned turret module armed with 7,62mm machine gun, 30mm automatic cannon and ATGM's launcher. Rumors says that september this year...

This armor can be also used for tanks, you just increase number of layers and overall thickness and mass of armor. So in theory CAWA-3 and CAWA-4 can also be used to protect many different types of platforms depending on requirements and armor thickness/layers.

Because there was no such requirement. Stryker was designed prior OEF and OIF and there were no experiences with IED's at that time, while protection against smaller mines could be enhanced by the fact that Stryker have hydrogas suspension system with height control, so if there would be...

Ha, now it's starts to be funny. It seems that this vehicle is not "Boomerang" but a separate Russian-France cooperation project, details are unknown.

It might be a new 57mm automatic cannon that they were planning to develop. Either way it is a powerfull armament for such vehicle.

Russians plan to use unmanned replaceable turret modules on all their new platforms, this is heavy tracked "Armata", medium tracked "Kurganets" and medium wheeled "Boomerang". This means that APC/IFV can be equipped with different turret modules with different armament.

Yup folks, these are the first photos of the new Russian wheeled platform "Boomerang". Nice beast, but that main armament, it seems that vehicle is armed with automatic cannon of calliber bigger than 30mm, perhaps it is 40mm or even bigger.

RAE 2013 will start soon. Guess what had been spotted allready? Patria AMV? Or perhaps new Russian wheeled platform "Boomerang"? ;)

Actually we had some clash about Rosomak with Finland, because Poland made extensive modifications to vehicle and designed or is still designing new variants of it, for example anti air/anti tank variant with "Amur" turret module that have Grom anti air missiles and Spike anti tank missiles, not...

@Kunal Biswas I have a very interesting news from Polish press and confirmation from the Indian side would be nice. There are informations that KTO Rosomak (WAPC Wolverine) will perticipate in contest for new wheeled APC of the Indian Army. Rosomak w indyjskim przetargu - Altair Agencja Lotnicza
