Hawkei officially replacing the Land Rover in the ADF?

[RUSSIAN147]

What a champion vehicle. Glad it won the trials.

[anglomanii]

drawings for hawkei DFWS platform may or may not exist, when and if i see em, i'll postem.

[Xavo|xXx]

What is DFWS?

[dtacs]

DFSW (?) Direct Fire Support Weapon. A Hawkei with a Javelin mount or somesuch.

[Tanks!]

RWS Javelin? wouldn't that be class.
My guess would be RWS MAG 58 or 12.7mm and a cupola variant with the same weapon systems.

[dtacs]

Isn't the standard platform going to have an RWS by default?

[Nathanual Nolan]

No Interchangeable by the looks of things

[Truism]

Still disappointed and upset that Hawkei won the trials. I'd operate the LPMV models we trialled with the yanks over the Hawkei any day.

[anglomanii]

why? fram everything i have seen and heard the Hawkei exceeds requirments and out performs all it's rivals from the american trials.

DFSW: possible platforms up to and including 30mm chain gun or javelin antitank system.

[Truism]

Everything I've heard is the opposite, and selecting Hawkei was a strategic decision because the US models wouldn't have produced any jobs in Australia.
