Los recientes conflictos armados en los cuales ha tenido participaci\u00f3n el veh\u00edculo de transporte de persona STRYKER, producido por GENERAL DYNAMICS LAND SYSTEMS, \u00a0ha puesto en evidencia algunas \u00a0debilidades, \u00a0en relaci\u00f3n con el escaso poder de fuego de sus armas \u00a0(Ametralladoras 12.7mm , 7,62mm,y lanzagranadas de 40mm),.,para hacer frente al tipo de amenazas propias de la “guerra h\u00edbrida”. Por esa raz\u00f3n, se ha decidido, incrementar su capacidad letal<\/b>, incorporando un ca\u00f1\u00f3n de 30mm , instalado en una torre aut\u00f3noma operada remotamente (RWS – Remote weapon station). Ha sido presentado el 1er prototipo para su evaluaci\u00f3n y una de las condiciones impuestas al proyecto es que no debe afectar la capacidad de transporte de peque\u00f1as fracciones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Im\u00e1genesThe Army on Thursday took delivery of the first prototype of its new Stryker Infantry Carrier Vehicle upgraded with a more lethal 30mm cannon, ahead of target to begin fielding to the Germany-based 2nd Cavalry Regiment in May 2018.<\/p>\n

The upgunned Stryker – designated the XM1296 Infantry Carrier Vehicle – will mark a \u201cnear-record time from concept to delivery,\u201d Army Vice Chief of Staff Gen. Daniel Allyn said at the event at the General Dynamics Land Systems Maneuver Collaboration Center in Sterling Heights,\u00a0Michigan, the Army News Service<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

The vehicle will be known as the Dragoon, sharing a moniker with the 2nd Cavalry Regiment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an example of what is possible when government, military and industry leaders unite as one team,\u201d Allyn said.<\/p><\/div>\n

The 2nd Cavalry Regiment put in an Urgent Operational Needs Statement in April 2015 to fast-track an upgraded version of the eight-wheeled armored fighting vehicle through a ponderous acquisition process. The Army approved upgrades for 81 vehicles in July 2015.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Not long after Russia annexed the Crimea and \u201clittle green men,\u201d a phrase typically used to refer to foreign troops or paramilitary forces who dress in green instead of traditional military gear, began flowing into eastern Ukraine to fight side-by-side with pro-Russian separatists, it became apparent that the Stryker\u2019s .50-caliber machine-gun was outmatched by its Russian counterparts.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In January 2015, for example, photographs of Russia\u2019s top-tier BPM-97 armored personnel carrier – which happens to sport a 30mm cannon itself – began filtering out of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People\u2019s Republic.
\n\u201cThe Russians, it turns out, had upgraded and fielded significant capabilities while we were engaged in Iraq and Afghanistan,\u201d Allyn said.The 30mm cannons have not traditionally been used as anti-personnel weapons, but rather are capable of tearing through armor plating and fortified positions; think of the iconic \u201cbrrrrrrrrrrt\u201d of the GAU-8\/A Avenger Gatling mounted on the A-10 Thunderbolt. The upgraded Strykers will integrate a Kongsberg MCT-30mm Weapon System with a remotely-operated, unmanned turret; a new, fully-integrated commander’s station; and upgraded driveline component and hull modifications, according to information from Program Executive Office-Ground Combat Systems. This configuration will not impede one of the vehicle\u2019s primary purposes: schlepping around a nine-man squad. The Stryker Dragoon will next go through an abbreviated test phase this spring before entering full production.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWe are doing it all very quickly,\u201d Col. Glenn Dean, the Stryker program manager,\u00a0 told Defense News<\/a> in February.
\n\u201cThe last time the Army qualified a new ground, direct-fire weapons system was when we put the M256 cannon on the M1 Abrams tank back in the \u201880s, so we are exercising a muscle that hasn\u2019t been exercised in a while.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Army has stepped up its presence in Europe since Russia annexed Crimea, sending soldiers and equipment to the continent to assure America’s NATO allies and deter further aggression.<\/p>\n

More than 33,000 soldiers are assigned or allocated to Europe, Allyn said. In addition, the Army this spring is scheduled to start rotating an armored brigade combat team for full nine-month deployments to Europe.<\/p>\n

The Army is focused on providing soldiers with the best technology and capability to ensure overmatch in a world that is increasingly complex and the threat is often “elusive and ambiguous,” Allyn said.<\/p><\/div>\n
