Smacks of a bit of 'oh can we do this and do that too?' in the post tender/due diligence phase. If the original spec was right in the first place then that wouldn't be necessary ......... Govt. procurement at its best

Thing is, many of the things the LTAV were supposed to be for, they never did, because the second batch, intended for that purpose were never bought. Remember there was supposed to be 66?
Infantry for doing what the GS usually does, only armoured, Cav for recce, (though CTR teams were usually 4, so I don't know if that was the plan, and they weren't ideal for armoured recce,
Arty for Ground radar and FOO role,(things were going to be on a telescopic pole at the rear of the vehicle) and CIS as an armoured FFR.
While the RWS was great I never saw the point of the Funnel shaped manned turret.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

think there is a reason the DF isn’t exercising those options for the 66 and are looking for something new?
