영국육군 BAE에 신형 MRAP Caiman 1 170대 발주

Summary: 영국육군 BAE에 신형 MRAP Caiman 1 170대 발주 지난 8월 1일 영국국방성은 BAE사에 1 170대의 대지뢰방어용 다목적 장갑트럭을 대당 443 000불에 발주하였습니다 이는 이미 발주한 robotic 팔을 가진 IDE팀용 RG 33 장갑차 440대 이어 발주하는 장갑차량입니다 Another MRAP design the Caiman Armor Holdings Inc received an order for 1170 of its Caiman MRAP BAE Systems manufacturer of the well known Bradley completed its acquisition of Armor Holdings on Aug 1 2007 The procurement contract calls for 1170 vehicles coming to about $443 000 per The order specifies a handful of the heavier version of the Caiman so the average price for the lighter version is probably less 18 Jul 2007 22 41 Permanent Link Related stories New Systems Tech Americas USA Mergers one of the salient features of the trend toward mine resistant vehicles is the use of truck chassis instead of standard automotive bases in order to accommodate the extra armor and body weight associated with these kinds of vehicle designs As a v capsule design Caiman acquires some of the classic drawbacks of easier mobility kills and a potentially higher center of gravity in exchange for easier production due to commonality with the popular and successful FMTV truck BAE MRAP Contracts the US SOCOM CAT I order remains stable leaving them with a revised order of $235 8 million for 16 RG 33 Category I MRUV patrol vehicles 170 RG 33 Category I vehicles modified for US Special Operations Command out of their total MRAP allotment of 333 vehicles 239 RG 33L Category II JERRV squad specialty EOD vehicles 16 RG 33L Category II Ambulance variants the first vehicles in the competition listed specifically for the ambulance role According to BAE this version includes a novel litter lift system The vehicle also provides space for a medic work station and key medical equipment As of this date 62 7 of the MRAP program s 7 774 vehicle orders have been issued With this modification BAE Systems share of orders to date rises to 34 9 31 RG 33 170 RG 33 SOCOM 314 RG 33L 16 RG 33L Ambulance = 531 vehicles + Armor Holdings 1 170 Caimans vaulting them into a close second place behind Force Protection Inc s 36 5 This modification doesn t change the overall numbers but does provide BAE Systems with more of a balanced MRAP vehicle portfolio July 13 07 BAE Systems new subsidiary Armor Holdings Inc received a $518 5 million firm fixed priced delivery order under a previously awarded indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract M67854 07 D 5030 002 for the purchase of 1 154 MRAP Category I MRUV patrol vehicles and 16 MRAP Category II JERRV squad specialty vehicles According to Armor Holdings release the vehicles will be the FMTV Truck based Caiman design they originally submitted to the competition not more BAE vehicles Work will be performed in Sealy TX and is expected to be complete in February 2008 June 28 07 BAE Systems Land work is expected to be complete by July 2008 Order 1 had been for test vehicles while order 2 involved 15 RG 33s and 75 of the larger RG 33Ls with their robotic arm This order was revised and covers 255 RG 33 Category I MRUV patrol vehicles 170 RG 33 variants for US Special Operations Command out of their total MRAP allotment of 333 vehicles 16 RG 33L Category II Ambulance variants the first vehicles in the competition listed specifically for the ambulance role According to BAE this version includes a novel litter lift system The vehicle also provides space for a medic work station and key medical equipment At the time DID wondered about the RG 33L s absence See also BAE Systems release The surprising absence here was the RG 33L whose unique features appeared to make it a very strong contender for Explosive Ordnance Disposal roles route proving and other classic Category II tasks In one of the marked departures from normal procurement procedures that characterizes the urgent nature of the MRAP program BAE s new offering had generated enough initial interest to justify a 75 vehicle order at the very beginning of the competition even before testing had begun The RG 33 s win in the SOCOM role is an especial vote of confidence and offers a strong base to build on for BAE in conjunction with the RG 33L s ambulance win Nevertheless the curious incident of the mainstream RG 33L orders remains one of the salient features of this contract Like all of the MRAP orders this contract includes sustainment and Integrated Logistics Support ILS of 90 days worth of spares forward deployment blocks maintenance workshop blocks field service representatives and operator and maintenance training April 3 07 An $8 2 million for firm fixed priced modification to existing delivery order 0002 under previously awarded contract M67854 07 D 5025 for MRAP Low Rate Initial Production vehicle sustainment Integrated Logistic Support Work will be performed in York PA and is expected to be complete by April 2008 All contract funds will expire at the end of the current fiscal year Due to the urgency of getting vehicles in theater designs deemed low risk are being contracted for fielding even before testing is complete and a field support system exists Hence the Feb 14 07 order for 75 RG 33Ls and 15 RG 33s This contract provides that field support via the contractor and will consist of 90 day consumables forward deployment blocks maintenance workshop blocks field service representatives operator and maintenance training and contract data requirements lists Feb 14 07 BAE Systems Ground Systems Division in Santa Clara CA receives a $55 4 million firm fixed price delivery order under previously awarded indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract M67854 07 D 5025 for 90 MRAP vehicles 15 Category I and 75 Category II All will be built in York PA DID has talked to the MRAP Program Office who confirms that BAE will be delivering 75 of their new RG 33Ls as the Category II delivery order and 15 RG 33s as the Category I delivery order June 28 07 MRAP Competition Half Time UpdateWe are very close to the halfway mark Of the envisaged 7 774 vehicles 3 707 46 7 have now been ordered Thus far BAE Systems share is 14 3 in 3rd place behind Force Protection 48 and Navistar 32 8 The program will continue to issue new orders as production gets close to fulfilling existing contracts In other words once one s vehicles are tested and approved the race for MRAP share becomes a function of quality production rate Key rival Force Protection recently stated that they plan to reach a production rate of 400 vehicles per month through their Force Dynamics joint venture by February 2008 BAE has augmented its own capabilities in the meantime by acquiring MRAP rival Armor Holdings In order to finish strong in the MRAP competition and win significant share BAE has its benchmark in front of it Now it comes down to operational execution and perhaps a solution to the mystery of the RG 33L s weak performance thus far UPDATE The RG 33L mystery appears to have been solved and an order to Armor Holdings has plussed up BAE Systems vehicle share to 34 9 a close second place behind Force Protection Inc s 36 5 with 4 877 62 7 of the MRAP program s 7 774 vehicle orders now issued The use of an order shift in the July 16 07 order rather than an order for additional RG 33Ls however suggests production capacity limits for BAE that are surpassed by its rivals With MRAP shaping up as a production race this could become a competitive issue for its high end vehicle set 영국육군 BAE에 신형 MRAP Caiman 1 170대 발주 지난 8월 1일 영국국방성은 BAE사에 1 170대의 대지뢰방어용 다목적 장갑트럭을 대당 443 000불에 발주하였습니다 이는 이미 발주한
