BAE and Polish Defense Holdings will make a formidable team when it comes to the Polish Universal Tracked Platform Contest but it makes me ask the question.
What's going on with the Anders Family of Vehicles?
It wasn't too very long ago that I was geeked about the possibilities that the Anders had to offer (quite honestly they mirror what the CV-90 would give a military force).
Does this mean that we're seeing the end of development for the Anders? Are we going to see some type of hybrid vehicle? Is BAE being brought onboard to lend technical advice and I'm wrong about the CV-90 Armadillo being offered?
Time will tell. I was right on one thing though. This contest will bear watching. I can't wait to find out what other companies will enter the fray.
UPDATE: Massive thanks to Shas for helping me on this! I have a few of the missing pieces regarding the Anders Family of Vehicles. The Polish Ministry of Defense is calling Anders a technology demonstrator. Additionally Shas was able to find out a bit about the requirements that BAE/PHC will be trying to meet. The little bit of info found requires it to be amphibious and to be able to carry all weapons that the Wolverine (Patria Havoc) can. Yeah. Besides lifting, shooting and sex, nothing turns me on more than a good armor competition.
I'm afraid that Anders is out of the picture, it can't swim. And Ministry of Defence insist that future tracked platform need to be amphibious. Also Anders is private venture and now they don't have money or power to produce this kind of vechicle. Maybe that's why PDH make a team with BAE?
