Australia is looking to replace its ASLAVs with 225 CRVs, vehicles designed to conduct recce in force.
Four final contenders, which one should they get?
no tracked options?
>>29845087
>Sentinel Namesake
>no mg cock
Well, three options now
>>29845087
Here's a better idea:
We get the billions spent on the F-35, and buy some Gripens. If we are ever invaded, they can hold us over for a few days before daddy USA comes to save us.
Numbers breakdown of individual variants.

That's the M113's replacement for an IFV, the aptly named Land 400 Phase 2 tender.
That's due to contested later.

Communism, please. Go away.

>recce in force.
Will they have an ATGM
>>29845362
The Boxer, Terrex II and LAV are being offered with Spike mounted on the turret. AMV is offering Spike or MMP for dismounts.

This isn't the 1970's with forward defence, we've got a layered defence force capable of projection and made to work with some of our select neighbours to the north.
And NZ
(If they still have an armed forces...)
>>29845137
No one is going to invade us. We're too likeable.
>>29845137
>yfw Australia now belongs to US as the 53 state.
Actual pre-production unit being sent for the trials.
AMV!

the boxer is such a cool alien movie looking vehicle, but whoever took that pic should lose his job
Fucking love the camo scheme.
>>29845087
Patrias.
>>29845614
Well that's not bad. Though I think the AMV offer is missing the boat by not offering one as standard
Is the sentinel 2 australian or is the poster retardedly misleading?
Because unless the Sentinel 2 has a major fault like the doors and hatches dont open once closed or something, it should be obvious choice as the government get to campaign in the next election how they brought loads of manufacturing jobs to Australia.

All options are being built in Australia.
Vehicle/Designer/Prime
AMV 35/Patria (Finland)/BAE Systems Australia
Boxer/KMW & Rheinmetall (German&)/Rheinmetall Australia
Terrex II (Sentinel II)/ST Kinetics (Singapore)/Elbit Systems Australia
LAV 6.0/GDLS-C (Canada)/GDLS-A
>>29845087
VBCI
>>29845884
Nexter did put forth the VBCI but Raytheon Australia pulled out and they couldn't find another prime.
And for that matter Iveco and its Freccia was another failed submission with Boeing Australia when it pulled out.
>>29845087
>ASLAV
>>29845148
>CRV
I want more fun acronyms.
>>29845087
The Terrex II would be the smart choice, especially since it is probably going to be the vehicle the USMC picks for the ACV.
>>29845087
Personally, as I'd like to see australia have a defence industry I want the sentinal to win but Patria has proven history.
