A modernized Warrior armored vehicle of the British Army has demonstrated its firepower and capabilities during recent firing trials in Scotland.
The trials were part of the country's Warrior Capability Sustainment Program, in which Lockheed Martin UK is upgrading the Army's fleet of 380 Warrior vehicles, and involved a Warrior equipped with a new turret and cannon.
"These successful trials demonstrate both the accuracy and lethality of the new generation Warrior, which has been designed and manufactured in the UK," said Alan Lines, vice president and managing director of Lockheed Martin UK's facility in Ampthill, Bedfordshire. "This is the latest in a number of trials that have increased confidence in these modifications. We remain on track for critical design review later this year where the maturity of our design and technical effort will take place."
In addition to a new turret and the CT40 weapon system, the modernized vehicle features an updated environmental control system, improved all-round awareness cameras and driver's night vision systems and a modular protection system fitted to the chassis.
