That would be good news. Do you have a reference?

Everyone's favourite non-credible, credible source, Noah Gairn's substack haha. Everything he says about Roshel has been accurate so far, but I still used that "might" in case he's incorrect.

Sounds like BAE might be partnering with Roshel to build BVS10 in Canada if selected for the DAME project. Would certainly be cool to get that sweet, sweet beowulf.

Interesting.
Big win for Roshel if that is the case as they get a Global powerhouse for armored vehicles (and ships etc) onside.

Will be interesting to see if this goes forward what else BAE is interested in JV’ing on.

Makes you wonder what BAE can bring to bear for other Roshel products too. A BAE designed and tested comms suite for example makes the Senator a lot more attractive.

Particularly to governments that can't afford the high-end boutique kit coming out of the traditional armored vehicle companies.

Could be the Chevrolet to BAE's more traditional Buick and Cadillac vehicles.

I'm thinking an actually protected Senator might be nice too

BAE isn't really into Comms, they are into Battle Management, but yeah having a design that is setup for easy install of modern digital radios helps.

No need for scope creep of an ech vehicle. It's not an APC or IFV, it's a rear area PMV thus small arms and land mine resistance is perfectly serviceable.

I picked the worst example of the top of my head for something BAE can help with lol. A proper BlueForce type system would certainly be a major upgrade for our fleet of F and A Ech vehicles.

I think you should have swung for a CV-90 type vehicle
