Amphibious Beowulf

Against the background of Russia's serious leadership in strengthening its northern borders, the US army is trying to catch up and in June this year begins testing two prototypes of the Arctic Beowulf field vehicles developed by BAE Systems.

Beowulf is based on the predecessor of the BvS 10, which was produced by the Swedish division of BAE Systems-Hägglunds (Ernsheldsvik) for the British Royal Marines and was adopted in 2005 as the Viking all-terrain vehicle. It is also equipped with units of the Marine Corps of Sweden, Austria, the Netherlands and France.

Amphibious Beowulf

Beowulf is an unarmored vehicle on a rubber track, consisting of two combined compartments, designed using elements of stealth technology. The compartments can move relative to each other, and the amphibious all-terrain vehicle is easily controlled, even in rough terrain. Beowulf has a modular design, which allows it to upgrade into several versions for different missions. Detailed information about the Beowulf is not yet available, but experts still find some similarities with the Viking all-terrain vehicle. If so, with a weight of 8.5 tons, it will be able to carry up to 12 passengers. It will be equipped with a 6-liter Viking Cummins diesel engine with a capacity of 275 hp, capable of providing it with speeds of up to 65 km/h on land and 5 km / h on water.
