British company BAE Systems Hägglunds division in Sweden is the one that specializes in developing products and services for the defense industry, working to develop aerospace, maritime, land defense, and even cybersecurity technology. Around 90,000 people in more than 40 countries are on the company s payroall, and they are tasked with making things like this here BvS10 Beowulf amphibious vehicle.
This piece of mechanical toughness builds upon the same platform that forms the base of the entire BvS10 family of vehicles. Its design is supposed to deliver the needed performance during diverse, demanding applications such as military deployments, humanitarian aid, disaster relief missions, and even firefighting or rescue operations.
BAE Systems has been engaged by the US Army to deliver two evaluation prototype arctic field vehicles. Called Beowulf, the amphibious all-terrain vehicle is designed for moving soldiers and supplies to remote areas under the harshest conditions.

One wears the name of an old hero of the Geats, the other a moniker people most often associate with a Blue Oval off-roader. Both are tracked machines designed to tackle the harshest of terrains and may become the U.S. Army’s next Cold Weather All-Terrain Vehicle (CATV). 5 photos
The military branch is currently on the lookout for machines that can replace the present-day Small Unit Support Vehicles (SUSVs) used in cold-weather regions. At the beginning of April, the National Advanced Mobility Consortium (NAMC) announced it selected two possible machines for this program.
The first comes from Oshkosh Defense and is based on partner ST Engineering’s Bronco. The second is BAE Systems’ Beowulf.

Beowulf Cold Weather All-Terrain Vehicle
The U.S. Army has selected BAE Systems to deliver two prototype vehicles for evaluation as a potential solution for the Cold Weather All-Terrain Vehicle (CATV) program.
Beowulf is an unarmored, tracked vehicle for carrying personnel and payloads in either of its two compartments. It has a modular design and can be reconfigured for multiple missions, such as logistical support, disaster and humanitarian relief, search and rescue, and other missions as required.
Beowulf is based on the BvS10, which has already been produced, to include recent on time deliveries to Austria. Multiple variants of the vehicle are already operating in five countries, first going into service with the U.K. Royal Marines in 2005.
