Goure of the Heritage Institute thinks that this program is even more important than the GCV...I agree...and because I agree its time for the Army to get on the ball and get'er done. When we're talking about replacing the M-113, we're talking about replacing a family of those vehicles.
Of all the contenders in the AMPV program, only the Improved Bradley makes sense. Its modular, its a single platform and the Army already has experience with it. With budget cuts coming, with budget competition already here and with the threat of becoming irrelevant looming over all Army programs it is time to move quickly.
I said before, I'll say it again. Get'er done.
SIDENOTE: On the lookout for pics of the turretless Bradley (Bradley General Purpose Vehicle).

ReplyDeleteCan't tell if its completely turret-less or the mortar variant. Pic was taken during GCV trials.
