to meet the U.S. Army's proposed requirement for a Mobile Protected
Firepower capability, which would involve an expeditionary light tank

APKWS Laser-guided Rocket: BAE Systems' Advanced Precision Kill
Weapon System (APKWS™) is a plug-and-play guidance kit that easily and
affordably converts unguided 2.75-inch (70 millimeter) rockets into
precision laser-guided rockets. This technology bridges the gap
between unguided rockets used for area suppression and larger
diameter, more powerful anti-armor missiles. Initially designed to
meet U.S. Army requirements, the APKWS system is a U.S. Navy program
of record and has been deployed in combat by the Marine Corps since
2012. Learn how the APKWS laser-guided rocket, which has been
demonstrated on more than a dozen platforms including the Apache
helicopter, can meet the Army's current and future needs.

BattleView 360 Agile (News - Alert) Situational Awareness in Combat Vehicles:
BAE Systems will debut for the first time in the United States a new
situational awareness system called BattleView 360. Leveraging fighter
jet technology, BattleView 360 allows warfighters to "see through" the
armor of a combat vehicle, shielding them in order to acquire a
complete, 360-degree picture of the battle environment. The system
enables better and more rapid decision making, friend-or-foe
classification, and communication of plans, as well as safer route
planning. It is a highly adaptable and is designed to seamlessly
integrate with multiple existing vehicle types, operating systems, and
radios.
