A contract worth £2.8 billion was signed earlier this month to provide the British Army with more than 500 new armoured fighting vehicles. The Boxer is an 8x8 wheeled armoured transport vehicle, designed to move troops on to the frontline. We were given the chance to look at the Boxer up close 👀.

The modular concept can be seen from two perspectives: The advantage is not only that any Boxer can now be quickly converted for a specific mission, but also that a roadworthy Boxer will always be available for a specific mission. The engine, the drive train and the chassis simply need to be maintained more frequently than a mission module.

@zhufortheimpaler4041 2 года назад
well, considering all british projects for an IFV and APC have failed so far..... it does everything better than the british competitors, especcially availability. Ajax is close to scrapping due to major problems with the programm, that seem to be hard to fix. The FRES (Future Rapid Effect System) of the UK dissolved due to major problems and cost explosions plus major intransparencies. like having 3 competitor vehicle designs, of wich 2 had test vehicles delivered and the third is represented via a predecessor vehicle, because the test vehicle was not out of pre prototype design, the not presend vehicle gets chosen as winner during cpability testing etc.

@@unlink1649 Not saying they should cut all ties or anything, but the government has allowed British industry to wilt far too much to the point we're overly dependant on others, and as has been proven time and time again, when times get tough countries will look after their own interests first. For example during covid when France blocked essential PPE and then vaccines which where owned by and destined for Britain at the boarder to keep for themselves. So it's important you can support your own backbone which can then be supplemented by your allies. It also creates much needed jobs, and income for the country.

@andrewtaylor940 4 года назад
The problem with "Modularized" vehicles is nobody ever actually changes the module once it's placed. You don't have a deep pool of spare modules lying around like the Thunderbird 2 hanger. So in almost every case the only time you ever need to be able to swap the module is in the factory. Modularity is a feature that looks good on the spec sheet. But if the mission calls for an ambulance, they just bring an ambulance. They've also tried the Modular concept with aircraft a lot over the years. Same thing. They configure the plane or helicopter once and only once to establish it's desired mission, and never change it again.

@andrewtaylor940
@andrewtaylor940 4 года назад
Jack Mountain Well yes. Lots of vehicle use the same chassis and share parts. That’s actually a good design feature. It’s the swappable mission payload element that is over engineering a feature that will likely never get used. And certainly never get used in the field. It’s the sort of thing that sounds sexy on the spec sheets. But it means you’ve got a couple of bolts holding the infantry compartment on, instead of just welding that sucker down for added protection. It’s pointless modularity because the only time anyone will be swapping mission modules will be down at the motor pool when they are seeking to canibalize and MacGuyver three broken down vehicles into one working one. Which they are perfectly capable of doing with non modular vehicles.

Pal you can barely get landy around what little roads the Falkland have, let alone a Mastiff, theres a literal graveyards of BVs that got bogged in never to see the light of day again. The Falklands will always be a place were light role infantry will triumph.

10 boxer platforms should be given to Falkland islands. Spartans Scimitar light recon tanks and take 20 chieftain tanks out of mothballs One regiment of Paras Two new battalion's of infantry support One new marine regiment. If Argentina got involved with china and Russia. This would slow down their retaking the Falkland islands

@superskidmarkz 3 года назад
not sure how practical modular design is. It's not going to come with multiple modules and you're not going to take modules without the rest of the vehicle so what's the point? The only advantage would be if the vehicle is damaged. You would then take off the module and put it onto a working vehicle. If this is the case then it would suggest that these are only going to be made available in very limited numbers for each operation.

Are the "drive modules" really in such short supply that they have to be shared among several "mission modules"?

I imagine that the army will buy an equal number of drive an mission modules. The issue is that if a valuable variant like a C&C or ambulance breaks down or is due for service you can swap the mission module onto a working drive train in an hour or two and get the needed variant back into service.

of course they dont.... we are in the 20th century and have fought in several asymetric combat zones as NATO. the tires have remote inflation/deflation from cmmander and drivers positions and have a flat running rim wich is capable of sustaining driving on a flat tire for at least 50-60km with maximum load (highest protection level mounted, full capacity loaded etc)
