It features both the existing chassis but includes enhancements such as the firm\u2019s External Mission Equipment Package top plate, which enables rapid integration of future technologies and capabilities, the company said in the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That package on the cUAS prototype, for example, is configured with Moog\u2019s Reconfigurable Integrated-weapons Platform turret. The Army has already validated the integration of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2021\/04\/23\/first-short-range-air-defense-systems-deploy-to-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\">maneuver short-range air defense<\/a> turret for the AMPV, just one of the 30 turret systems enabled by Moog\u2019s weapons package, the company said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moog\u2019s cUAS weapon system includes Leonardo DRS\u2019 Multi-Mission Hemispheric Radar and Northrop Grumman\u2019s XM914 30mm gun; both are components on the Stryker combat vehicle-based M-SHORAD system already fielded with the Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AMPV reached full-rate production in 2023. The vehicle replaces the M113 troop carrier with five variants, including versions designed to fire mortars, a command-and-control platform, and medical vehicles for evacuating or treating troops wounded on the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BAE continues to develop new capabilities for the AMPV, anticipating the Army may want the vehicle to carry out additional missions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BAE Systems and Moog adapted an Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle for counter-drone operations and successfully tested a prototype in the
