The companies said the software\u2019s open architecture is designed for interoperability across platforms, enabling the Army to integrate payloads and missions beyond the AMPV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAutoDrive is a pathway to stronger networks and smarter operations, providing the necessary infrastructure to support the AMPV capability kit,\u201d Patrick Acox, Forterra\u2019s vice president of defense growth, said in the same statement. \u201cWorking with BAE Systems to build an integrated AMPV will be another breakthrough that becomes a stronger shield for national security.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The push reflects a wider trend in defense procurement, where the Pentagon is pressing contractors to deliver more quickly and to design modular systems that can be updated without starting over. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army has said it wants capability kits, described as bolt-on technology packages that can be rapidly developed and integrated, to keep vehicles relevant against emerging threats such as drones, electronic warfare and autonomous adversaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BAE announced its plan to invest internally in the AMPV last month \u201cto produce various technologically-advanced prototypes equipped with different capability kits,\u201d according to a company statement. \u201cThe various strategic agreements will drive combat vehicle innovation for warfighters at speeds that outpace the adversary,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The AMPV entered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bing.com\/search?FORM=ARPSEC&amp;PC=ARPL&amp;PTAG=20004&amp;q=site%3Adefensenews.com%20bae%20ampv\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"\" title=\"https:\/\/www.bing.com\/search?FORM=ARPSEC&amp;PC=ARPL&amp;PTAG=20004&amp;q=site%3Adefensenews.com%20bae%20ampv\">full-rate production<\/a> in 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding autonomy could expand the vehicle\u2019s use in high-risk missions such as resupply, casualty evacuation or reconnaissance without endangering crews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The companies emphasized that the technology is not limited to the AMPV. Forterra\u2019s system could be adapted for the Bradley A4 and the M109A7 Paladin, both core to the ABCT.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BAE and Forterra plan to deliver and
