The funding also covered upgrades to 83 production vehicles plus spares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service spent 18 months to put together its Stryker Dragoon using off-the-shelf solutions such as the remote turret from Kongsberg in Norway and the 30mm cannon from Orbital ATK, now owned by Northrop Grumman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The vehicles were shipped off to Europe for a year-long evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feedback from the evaluation suggested some improvements are needed, particularly related to situational awareness. The turret for the cannon takes up a lot of roof and hatch space and also affects how equipment is stowed, for instance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army has awarded five
