BAE Systems Hägglunds is hoping to secure a contract for its new BvS10 Beowulf
all-terrain vehicle (ATV) by the end of this year or the start of next year,
allowing serial production to start by the end of next year or the beginning of
2018, company officials told IHS Jane's at Eurosatory on 15
June. Tore Akser, ATV platform manager
for BAE Systems Hägglunds, said the company is having parallel discussions with
potential buyers in Europe, South America and Asia, with the potential clients
ranging from those who already operate the Beowulf's predecessor, the Bv202, or
the armoured ATV from which it is derived, the BvS10 Viking, to those with no
experience of operating BAE Systems Hägglunds ATVs.
