UK's Scout SV PMRS passes base design review milestone

The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has completed the Base Platform Critical Design Review (CDR) for the Protected Mobility Recce Support (PMRS) variant of the Scout Specialist Vehicle (SV) programme, General Dynamics UK announced on 28 April. The Scout SV programme is intended to replace the Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) (CVR(T)) family of light armoured vehicles in British Army service. Currently the British Army possesses some 1,133 CVR(T) vehicles, of which only 641 are operable. The Base Platform CDR is the first variant-specific CDR for the Scout SV programme and marks an important step before the planned delivery of the first PMRS pre- production prototype and the overall CDR for the vehicle later in 2014. The completion of the Base Platform CDR on the PMRS variant follows on from the completion of the MoD's Preliminary Design Review on the Scout SV programme in early 2013. According to General Dynamics UK, the Base Platform CDR "covered the PMRS system architecture, including the physical architecture and software; its subsystems, such as the running gear, suspension, auto controls, and propulsion; and PMRS specific design interfaces, including for the vehicle's electronic architecture, C4I equipment, towing, and storage." The Base Platform CDR also included extensive testing to confirm the PMRS' survivability, ease of crew egress and ingress, and onboard system functionality. The full CDR later this year is set to finalise the design of the vehicle for production.

General Dynamics wins
Stryker conversion work

General Dynamics Land Systems will convert 93 flat-bottom Stryker infantry combat vehicles to a newer, more survivable double-V hull (DVH) design for the US Army under a new contract announced on 12 May. The US Army partnered with General Dynamics in 2012 for the Stryker DVH-exchange pilot programme. This programme validated that Stryker flat-bottom variants can be quickly refurbished and reassembled as a new, more survivable DVH variant, at less cost than producing a new vehicle. General Dynamics and the Anniston Army Depot successfully completed the DVH pilot programme in April 2013, with 52 Stryker vehicles delivered. Work will be carried out at the Anniston Army Depot in Anniston, with additional work to take place at General Dynamics' locations in Lima, Ohio, and Scranton, Penn. The Stryker DVH vehicles to be converted under this contract are expected to be delivered in March 2016.

Why Stryker was not originally designed with DVH configuration is a mystery to me.

 

[Damian]

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 suspected mine threat, vehicle just could be raised. However IED's mostly are much more powerfull than normal mines, thus additional protection was nececary.
