As the Arctic warms, the Army wants a new vehicle for combat over ice. On August 22, the Army announced that it had chosen the Beowulf two-bodied tracked vehicle by BAE systems to fulfill its Cold Weather All-Terrain Vehicle needs. The contract for production is worth just over $278 million, with the stated objective of delivering 163 of the vehicles by 2029.

Articulated vehicles ... I'm having flashbacks to my early ADA days when I led a scout platoon that had FAARs mounted on Gamma Goats ... *shudder*
