    EGPWS has been around a number of years. My understanding is that it saves the flight histories like a FDR And is intended so that charts etc can be updated.
    Enhanced ground proximity warning system.. kind of self explanatory, the enhanced version has a terrain database and typically has a terrain display, gives all sorts of warnings when you get too near to large pieces of granite, masts, tall buildings etc.

        MBES is a permanent fit.

        P50s fitted circa 2015/16

        P60s will require drydocking to fit MBES

          Is it intrusive or can it be bolted on to existing chambers?
          For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

            And while we're at it buy all the specialist rounds they have now,

            And the guided round when it enters service,

              Replacement of the current GBAD radars operated by the
              Artillery Corp operate with a powerful 3D surveillance radar and
              C4I functionality; expected to have a UAV Detection ability, C-
              RAM (Counter Rockets, Artillery and Munitions) allied to a
              system that can be operated remotely or locally with the ability
              to provide a networked air picture.
              SAAB Giraffe 1x come on down!

                    Yeah the requirements listed look like they are tailor made to the Giraffe 1X....

                      Just to clarify,We already have the CG84 MK3 deployed in small numbers. Mainly overseas since 2007-2008. MK4 would be the logical upgrade.

                      Interesting that IMBAS(GSBA/BV) replacement only got a footnote despite that program already being progressed.
                      "Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

                        We need medium range primary radar not short range

                            The requirement is to replace the Giraffe Mk4 in the GBAD role, the 1X has a range of 75km which is more than enough for GBAD. In that role it is normally linked with the RBS70 Mk2 system.
                            If that is too short a range the next Saab radar would be the ABM with a range of 120km and is the radar used with the British Sky Sabre (Land CAMM) SAM system.

                              Giraffe ABM is not AESA though

                                Just noticed we are talking about different things:

                                Other important platforms or associated equipment capabilities
                                ? Ground Based Air Defence (GBAD) Radar – this is an important asset used by the Artillery Corps – an updated system is due for acquisition in the period 2021-22.
                                Future programmes at pre planning stage
                                Beyond the very significant range of projects already underway or in existing planning streams, the EDP highlights others that are expected to progress in future phases of the plan. This is not an exhaustive list but gives an indication of the scale and range of programmes that will enter planning. At this stage there is not a definite commitment to pursue, or an associated time-frame, for these. These include a primary radar system
