Mobile Protected Firepower Programme by BAE Systems

: Apr 15, 2018 - : 7:19 pm

BAE Systems has submitted a proposal to the U.S. Army to build and test the Mobile Protected Firepower (MPF) vehicle for use by the Infantry Brigade Combat Team (IBCT).

The MPF is a new combat vehicle required by the Army to provide the IBCT with a protected platform capable of delivering overwhelming precision firepower combined with the ability to move rapidly in a variety of terrain conditions.

“Our MPF vehicle is the result of more than 30 years of research and development to build a rapidly deployable, light combat vehicle designed specifically to support the light infantry,” said Jim Miller, director of Business Development at BAE Systems’ Combat Vehicles business. “Our offering integrates the most modern technologies into a non-developmental design based on development, testing, and lessons learned from our portfolio of combat vehicle programs.”
“Our solution is built around the IBCT’s needs and the evolving threats they face,” Miller added. “It is as deployable as the IBCT’s other equipment and is easily sustained and maintained with assets already organic to the IBCT.”

The company has developed and built a vehicle that is currently going through internal testing. The company has submitted the vehicle to the Army on April 2 to undergo additional U.S. government testing as a part of the bid assessment process.
