The United Kingdom has ordered 589 General Dynamics UK Scout Specialist Vehicle (SV) platforms in a GBP3.5 billion (USD5.8 billion) contract announced on 3 September. Scout SV will replace the British Army's Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) -CVR(T) - family of vehicles, which have been in service since the 1970s. Based on the General Dynamics Santa Barbara Sistemas ASCOD 2 infantry fighting vehicle chassis, the Scout SVs will provide a major increase in firepower, ISTAR (intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance), and protection capabilities over the CVR(T) vehicles, but are significantly larger and heavier.
