RWS Javelin? wouldn't that be class.
My guess would be RWS MAG 58 or 12.7mm and a cupola variant with the same weapon systems. |

Re: Hawkei officially replacing the Land Rover in the ADF?
Isn't the standard platform going to have an RWS by default?

Still disappointed and upset that Hawkei won the trials. I'd operate the LPMV models we trialled with the yanks over the Hawkei any day.

Re: Hawkei officially replacing the Land Rover in the ADF?
why? fram everything i have seen and heard the Hawkei exceeds requirments and out performs all it's rivals from the american trials.
DFSW: possible platforms up to and including 30mm chain gun or javelin antitank system. |

Re: Hawkei officially replacing the Land Rover in the ADF?
Everything I've heard is the opposite, and selecting Hawkei was a strategic decision because the US models wouldn't have produced any jobs in Australia.
