A new thread covering the development of the General Dynamics Ajax Armoured fighting vehicle.
I have been interested in the progress of this new Armoured vehicle so decided to create a specific thread.

Variants
Ajax - The AJAX variant will be the core of the British Army’s deployable all-weather intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISTAR) capability.
Apollo - The APOLLO is one of two Equipment Support variants. It is the Repair platform and will be used to tow battlefield damaged vehicles and lift heavy sub-assemblies.
Ares - The ARES variant is the common base for all the AJAX variants and will be used to deliver and support specialist troops across the battlefield, including Anti -Tank Javelin Teams, Snipers and Support Troops.
Argus - The ARGUS variant will provide timely and accurate engineering information on the natural and man-made environment.
Athena - The ATHENA variant is the Command and Control (C2) capability. It will process and manage information to provide commanders with information to make informed decisions on the battlefield.
Atlas - The ATLAS variant is the second Equipment Support variant. It is the recovery vehicle and is optimised to provide the most effective means of recovering a casualty vehicle.
