TRACER/FSCS to be
Article Abstract:
The US and the UK have agreed to jointly design, develop and produce a new low-observable, armored scout and reconnaisance vehicles for their armies. The program, which is valued at about 3 billion pound-sterling ($5 billion), is known as FSCS (Future Scout and Cavalry System) in the US and TRACER (Tactical Reconnaisance Armored Combat Equipment Requirement) in the UK. The agreement marks the first time the two countries are jointly developing an armored fighting vehicle (AFV) system. The program envisions an AFV that can penetrate deep into enemy territory and send data about the enemy.
