British Army’s Foxhound Vehicles Adapted for Command Roles with Advanced Communication Systems

The British Army is set to elevate the role of up to 50 Foxhound vehicles, converting them into specialized command variants in a groundbreaking initiative. Under a GBP19.76 million (USD24.92 million) sole-source contract with General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS), this transformation is slated to take place over a 15-month period starting in early 2024. The initiative aims to equip these Foxhound Light Protected Patrol Vehicles (LPPVs) with state-of-the-art communication capabilities. Enhanced high-frequency (HF), very-high-frequency (VHF), and ultra-high-frequency (UHF) functionalities will be integrated, enabling seamless operation of Bowman data terminals. GDLS, as the original equipment manufacturer for the Foxhound and the design authority on the Bowman communications system, is uniquely positioned to fulfill this technological advancement.#military #defense #defence #militaryleak #sweden
