The Land Mobility Programme is the biggest UK opportunity for the next few decades if it all falls into place. Companies have been filling their dance cards as milestones approach in the hope they are not the mirages of the past.
Supacat has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with KNDS (Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Nexter Defence Systems) Deutschland to bring the Dingo 3 vehicle into contention for the British Army’s Land Mobility Programme (LMP).
The two companies plan to offer the Dingo 3 vehicle, notably the armoured command and liaison vehicle variants, into the Medium Protected Vehicle (MPV) category. Supacat’s High Mobility Transporter (HMT) is expected to be bid into the Light Protected Mobility (LPM) and Light Mobility Vehicle (LMV).

Elbit bets on local content for US howitzer bid as it faces off against popular systems
The Israeli company hopes that producing its Sigma artillery system wholly in the US will help it win a key US Army contract, but it will be up against the popular CAESAR Mk II wheeled weapon and the K9 tracked.
