GD awarded £3.5 bn for 589 Scout AFV to the British Army

Published by Aero3A

General Dynamics UK has been awarded a contract by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) to deliver 589 SCOUT Specialist Vehicle (SV) platforms to the British Army to provide essential capability to the Armoured Cavalry within Army 2020. The platforms, consisting of six variants, will be delivered to the British Army between 2017 and 2024, alongside the provision of initial in-service support and training, and will serve at the heart of the Armoured Infantry Brigade structure. This contract directly safeguards or creates up to 1,300 jobs across the programme's UK supply chain, with 300 of these at General Dynamics UK's Oakdale site. SCOUT SV represents the future of Armoured Fighting Vehicles (AFV) for the British Army, providing protection and survivability, reliability and mobility and all-weather intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and recognition (ISTAR) capabilities. Its range of variants will allow the British Army to conduct sustained, expeditionary, full-spectrum and network-enabled operations with a reduced logistics footprint. SCOUT SV can operate in combined-arms and multinational situations across a wide-range of future operating environments.

SCOUT SV has been developed at General Dynamics UK's AFV design and engineering centre in Oakdale, South Wales, maintaining the UK's sovereign expertise in this important capability.
