Singapore –
ST Kinetics’ TERREX, an advanced generation all-terrain 8x8 Armoured Personnel
Carrier (APC) has been accepted by the United States Marine Corps (USMC) for
the demonstration and studies phase of the Marine Personnel Carrier (MPC)
programme as part of a consortium led by Science Applications International
Corporation (SAIC), a global Fortune 500 scientific, engineering and technology
company based in Virginia, USA. The SAIC team will be supplying a customised
version of the TERREX and basic hulls to be put through a 12-month period of
performance trials and testing that includes the areas of mobility, swimming
capability, troop-carrying capacity and survivability.
“The
selection of the TERREX for the demonstration and testing phase of the USMC MPC
programme along with three other 8x8 vehicles from established defence industry
players is a firm recognition that the TERREX has come into its own in the
highly competitive APC space. We are very glad to be part of the SAIC team to
offer the TERREX as an effective and affordable solution for the MPC
programme.” ~ Patrick CHOY, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing
Officer, ST Kinetics.
The TERREX
8x8 APC meets the demands of the warfighter for superior mobility and high
survivability. It is designed to allow technology insertions such as a
battlefield management system, and data and communications systems for full
integration into the modern networked battlefield. With its integrated
all-round camera system, the TERREX provides its crew excellent situational
awareness even during closed-hatch operations under demanding conditions.
