The Austrian military is exploring many initiatives to replace its current equipment, including a new Eurofighter replacement and new armoured vehicles.
In the upcoming years, the investment will be stimulated by this upgrading which would also involve the adoption of Electric vehicles.
The military would gain from electric vehicles’ enhanced range and persistence, higher onboard power for tools like directed-energy weaponry, jammers, and electrified armour, lower maintenance costs and related logistical footprint, silent watch and silent movement, and less thermal and acoustic profile.
The Austria Military Electric Vehicle market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2027.
To facilitate the international exploitation of the E-X-Drive electric drive system for tracked combat vehicles, QinetiQ and BAE Systems Inc. have inked a teaming agreement.
This collaboration combines BAE Systems’ design, development, production, and systems integrator skills with QinetiQ’s experience in electric drives.
Advanced weapons, communications, radar, and field power generation are made possible by the technology’s better fuel efficiency, dependability, decreased life-cycle costs, improved mobility performance, and unequalled electrical power accessible to the platform.
For tracked combat vehicles, QinetiQ’s E-X-Drive gearbox was designed as an alternative to more complicated and constrained standard drive systems.
QinetiQ and BAE Systems have collaborated to develop E-X-Drive into a mature technology that has been successfully used for tracked combat vehicles weighing up to 70 tonnes. Additionally, the wheeled vehicle equivalent of QinetiQ
