DRS to upgrade UK's Bowman system
DRS Technologies will provide equipment and technology upgrades in support of the UK’s Bowman tactical C4I system programme under a $51 million contract from General Dynamics UK announced on 18 April.
The company will supply rugged tactical displays for British Army combat vehicles, rugged computing technology upgrades, and associated services. The upgrade will be based on the Mounted Family of Computer Systems (MFoCS) used by the US military.
The resulting system will represent the latest in ultra-rugged commercial-off-the-shelf technology in the form of Intel i7 multi-core CPUs, solid state hard drives, battery technology and keyboards.
Peter Hurst, managing director of DRS UK, said: ‘This technology will provide the British Army with a strategic advantage on the battlefield and builds on our heritage of supplying cutting-edge and proven network computing systems to the UK military forces.
‘We are proud to be able to continue to provide a tactical computing baseline for Bowman, which shares many components and a common roadmap with the successful MFoCS system used by the United States military.’
