BAE Systems unveiled a manoeuvre short-range air defence (M-SHORAD) variant of the BvS10 armoured all-terrain vehicle (ATV) at DSEI 2023 in London.

Briefing journalists, Darren Restarick, BAE Systems Hägglunds’ director of product strategy, said the BvS10 is moving from being an armoured personnel carrier to a modular fighting vehicle able to address almost any modern operational threat, with the possibility of being armed with cannons, machine guns, folding fin aircraft rockets (FFARs), and various mortars, light artillery, surface-to-air missiles, and the sensors and command-and-control systems needed to employ them.
