The focus this year at Defexpo at BAE Systems stall will be the 155mm lightweight towed howitzers and the BvS10. McCumiskey said a proven workhorse in battle situations, the BvS10 armored all-terrain vehicle provides a combination of mobility, payload and protection. “The BvS10 serves a dual purpose. It is not just for military applications, but can be used for humanitarian operations in remote areas.”
