What's going on with the BAE/Iveco Defense SuperAV 8x8???



Ok.

I need your help.

I'm ready to declare the BAE/Iveco SuperAV 8x8 vapor ware.

I see plenty of nice mock ups....I see it at exhibits and shows....but I haven't seen it anywhere.

Have you?  I heard a rumor that it was at Pendleton doing tests but haven't been able to run it down.  Sent a letter to BAE but they ignore/don't respond.  I even asked Sean over at Aviation Week to hook me up with one of his European reporters to see if he heard anything.  Nothing.  No news.  No sightings...nothing.

Is this vehicle still in play or has Iveco packed its bags and stepped away from the competition?

  4. Oh i get ya...the only issue is because BAE is usually very good with putting info out on there products...but on this one...nada...its kinda frustrating...especially since i'm warming to this idea of a MPC and can't find info on one of the contenders!
