BAE Systems Unveil the U.S. Army´s new hyper-mobile Beowulf vehicle at Eurosatory 2024

BAE Systems' Beowulf, a highly capable all-terrain vehicle, is set to debut at Eurosatory 2024 in the configuration chosen for the U.S. Army's Cold Weather All-Terrain Vehicle (CATV) program.

BAE Systems will showcase its hyper-mobile all-terrain vehicle, Beowulf, at Eurosatory 2024. This vehicle has been selected for the U.S. Army’s Cold Weather All-Terrain Vehicle (CATV) program. Beowulf is designed to operate in extremely challenging environments, including the Arctic, deserts, and jungles. It combines advanced technology with proven reliability, making it a top choice for various demanding missions.

Beowulf is an amphibious dual-body vehicle, boasting superior tactical mobility. It uses battle-proven driveline technologies from the BvS10 family of vehicles, known for their durability and reliability. This heritage ensures Beowulf can deliver exceptional performance and high system availability in any terrain.

The vehicle’s modern design focuses on operational effectiveness and soldier comfort. It is suitable for a wide range of missions such as search and rescue, defense support to civilian authorities, homeland defense, and disaster relief. The Beowulf's flexible and configurable design can support military operations, training missions, humanitarian aid, firefighting, and rescue operations.

Tommy Gustafsson-Rask, managing director of BAE Systems Hägglunds, emphasized the vehicle’s capabilities: “Beowulf is a highly capable vehicle with exceptional performance in extremely challenging terrains such as the Arctic, desert, and jungle environments, from sea level to extreme altitude. We are proud to provide soldiers with this solution.”

The Beowulf leverages commercial automotive technologies to enhance crew comfort and reduce maintenance needs. Its flexible cabin and intuitive user interface make it ideal for operations where the BvS10's survivability and weaponry are not required. This adaptability ensures the vehicle can meet the demands of both military and civilian applications.

Selected by the U.S. Army in 2022, Beowulf replaces older platforms for Arctic operations. It provides a modernized ground platform solution for extended operations and force projection in harsh environments.

In summary, BAE Systems' Beowulf is a versatile, reliable, and highly capable all-terrain vehicle designed to support a wide range of missions in the most challenging environments on earth.
