GENERAL DYNAMICS Land Systems present\u00f3 un prototipo de su nuevo Blindado Liviano a oruga para el Ej\u00e9rcito de EUA. Este \u00a0sistema, denominado GRIFFIN, tiene como caracter\u00edstica principal, reunir en una sola plataforma, la potencia de fuego de los ca\u00f1ones de 120mm que equipan a la torreta de tanque M1 ABRAMS<\/strong>, con el escaso peso y movilidad de los blindados de exploraci\u00f3n SV-AJAX,<\/strong> de uso en el Ej\u00e9rcito Brit\u00e1nico. El objetivo es disponer de un veh\u00edculo de r\u00e1pido despliegue,que signifique una relativamente baja carga log\u00edstica, pero manteniendo suficiente protecci\u00f3n y la potencia de fuego de las Unidades Blindadas, lo que garantizar\u00e1 libertad de acci\u00f3n a las Brigadas de Combate de Infanter\u00eda, normalmente desplegadas con m\u00ednimo preaviso en los m\u00e1s alejados escenarios de conflicto.\u00a0<\/p>\n

General Dynamics Land Systems (GDLS) on 3 October unveiled a medium-weight tracked vehicle demonstrator called the Griffin that meshes elements of the turret and 120 mm cannon from the company’s M1A1\/M1A2 Abrams main battle tank with its Ajax Scout Specialist Vehicle.<\/p>\n

In fiscal year 2017 (FY 2017) the army requested USD9.678 million to begin a new-start programme called Mobile Protected Firepower (MPF): a vehicle meant to quickly deploy with relatively low logistics demand, but enough protection and firepower to help ensure an infantry brigade combat team’s freedom of action.<\/p>\n

The Griffin is meant as a “conversation starter with the army”, which could then come back to GDLS with suggestions for changes, Mike Peck, GDLS’ head of business development, told IHS Jane’s<\/i> at the annual Association of the US Army (AUSA) symposium.<\/p>\n

The Abrams uses a unique variant of Rheinmetall’s L44 smoothbore gun, designated the M256 and manufactured at Watervliet Arsenal, but the Griffin demonstrator is fitted with the 120 mm XM360 gun that was developed for the erstwhile Future Combat Systems programme, Dave Crocker, GDLS’ vice-president for engineering and development, told IHS Jane’s<\/i> . It can also integrate a 105 mm M58 gun.<\/p>\n

Griffin’s turret is based on the Abrams SEPV2 turret, but is lighter weight and uses aluminium construction. It is mated to the Ajax steel chassis and the demonstrator uses the Ajax powerpack and overall components, which are manufactured in Spain, but GDLS would seek US production if it was chosen to build something based on Griffin for the US Army.<\/p>\n

Peck said the company could respond to army feedback with a revised platform within about 9-12 months.<\/p>\n

GDLS representatives said the Griffin configuration at AUSA weighs about 28 tonnes – two could fit on a Boeing C-17 Globemaster III – but explosive reactive armour or active protection systems could be added for a few extra tonnes.<\/p>\n
