Description

The British Army Scout Protected Mobility Recce Support (PMRS), now Ares, is a fully digitized, medium-weight, tracked armored vehicle developed under the FRES initiative as the replacement for the CVR(T) fleet. The Scout PMRS is intended to serve as armored personnel carrier (APC), reconnaissance vehicle and fire support vehicle utilizing a roof-mounted remote weapon station. The Scout vehicle family features a service life of up to 30 years with a combat weight between 42 and 45 tons. All variants will share the same electronic architecture with ease of maintenance, training and lower costs through the life of the vehicles. The Scout SV vehicle family contract for up to 580 vehicles was awarded to General Dynamics UK in March 2010. The first Scout SV prototype was unveiled at the Defence Vehicle Dynamics (DVD) held at Millbrook Proving Ground near Milton Keynes in June 25-26 2014.
