Our experience

• We are the world's leading wheeled AFV supplier, producing Stryker, LAV, PIRANHA, and Pandur at the heavier end of the scale; as well as the lighter protected mobility platforms such as the Eagle 4x4, RG31, Pandur 6x6 and the Duro off-road tactical transport vehicle
• We are also a major tracked vehicle supplier, producing the Abrams tank and its associated upgrades, the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle, Leopard 2, and Pizarro
• We have major production facilities in the US, Canada, Spain, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, all capable of manufacturing and integrating complete systems and with the capacity and resources to deliver Future Rapid Effects System (FRES), or components of FRES, cost-effectively
• We have world leading engineering skills at MOWAG, General Dynamics' Centre of Excellence for wheeled vehicles, and at General Dynamics UK
• General Dynamics UK has a proven track record in levering global technology to benefit the UK industrial base. This history stretches back to the early 1960's and Nimrod Sonar Buoy detection technology, through support to UK aircraft and rotorcraft projects and the on-going delivery of Bowman. The Company has successfully exported UK technology to the US, Canada and Europe
• General Dynamics UK is currently installing Bowman into 77 platform types (12,000 vehicles) with 3,000 different installation configurations. This gives us a unique understanding of integrating complex digital electronic systems into new and legacy platforms. Earlier this year, we completed the conversion of the 10,000th vehicle to Bowman
• With Stryker, a variant of PIRANHA III, we have already demonstrated the necessary experience of delivering an industrial programme of this scale and pace. A 2012 IOC date is well within our capabilities
