The vehicle integrates BAE Systems Hägglunds’ CV9035 turret onto a highly protected military-off-the-shelf (MOTS) Patria AMV.

BAE Systems Australia chief executive Glynn Phillips said: "Our three test vehicles are built and ready to go for the army’s 12 months of rigorous testing in the risk mitigation activity stage of the tender evaluation later this year.

"The AMV35 is technically superior to its rivals and is a value-for-money solution for the Australian Defence Force."

"We believe the AMV35 is technically superior to its rivals and is a value-for-money solution for the Australian Defence Force (ADF) which also accommodates their on-going land combat vehicle needs.

"The fact that these vehicles are available now proves we have a low-risk solution. We look forward to the Commonwealth’s announcement of successful tenders. If selected, the trials will enable us to demonstrate fully the exceptional capabilities and benefits of the AMV35."
