Background
Previous generations of tracked vehicles need to be modernised to meet future requirements and extend their lifetime. This encompasses a large number of vehicles. To address this challenge, BAE Systems Hägglunds initiated an expanded partnership with Knightec, wherein Knightec has been given significant responsibility for a Bv206S-related project for a foreign user. This is the first time that BAE Systems Hägglunds has assigned such extensive responsibility for a single project to an external partner.
Challenge
The challenge is to modernise the fleet of tracked vehicles to meet future requirements and ensure continued operational performance. Technological developments and increased requirements in the defence sector make upgrades necessary to extend the lifetime of vehicles and optimise their performance.
