BAE Systems is showcasing its third Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) prototype at the 2024 AUSA Global Force Symposium.
The company made the following statement on the AMPV:
“BAE Systems is showcasing its future-driven Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle (AMPV) prototype configured with the External Mission Equipment Package (ExMEP) at the 2024 AUSA Global Force Symposium. ExMEP, also described as the universal top plate, provides a common integration point across all AMPV hull structures to allow for seamless and modernized technology enhancements. This prototype marks the third successful capability combination in the last six months.
The AMPV’s ExMEP can adapt to more than 30 turret systems and builds on the vehicles modular approach enabling the rapid integration of new mission roles into the AMPV family of vehicles. The latest prototype features Elbit America’s UT30, a 30mm unmanned turret. BAE Systems also fully integrated and successfully demonstrated a C-UAS prototype in November 2023 prior to delivering a 120mm unmanned Turreted Mortar capability to the U.S. Army in January 2024—all utilizing the ExMEP design.”
Bill Sheehy, AMPV program director for BAE Systems: “I was one of those Soldiers in the battlefield, so I can tell you firsthand how critical it is to field modern capabilities quickly. Keeping pace with the rapidly evolving threats on the battlefield is the objective of the AMPV with ExMEP.”
The AMPV prototype will be on display at booth 321.
