Could the problems faced in engineering development of Bradl

Could the problems faced in engineering development of Bradley Fighting Vehicle have been avoided? Explain your answer. What is Impact Factor? Derive a relationship between Static and Dynamic Deflection (delta and delta_st) and Equivalent Static Force (Fe) and static loading due to weight of part (W) in a member subjected to tensile loading.

Solution

The Army is taking another shot at replacing or upgrading the Bradley.

Earlier this month, the service awarded two $28 million design contracts to BAE Systems Land and Armaments and General Dynamics Land Systems for what the Army is calling the Future Fighting Vehicle.

The program follows the decision by the Army to end funding to the Ground Combat Vehicle program after service officials have said defense budget cuts forced the service to end it. Army leaders have repeatedly said it’s not because of failures within the program, but the service needed to use their limited budget in other areas.
