BAE Systems head of vehicle support Mike Page says car racing technology offers fuel options for military vehicles in dusty conditions.
“Scout vehicles on ‘silent watch’ could benefit from the latest lithium-ion batteries, which are now lower-volume, higher-power and more reliable,” he says.
“We are also interested in low-cost LED lighting technology, with its low-power consumption and high-reliability.”
