In a move that has been anticipated for several months, the UK MoD announced on 31 March that it will re-join the Boxer programme and pursue a sole-source acquisition of the German 8x8 vehicle.

The UK MoD will now move forward with negotiations with the Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation (OCCAR), a European intergovernmental organisation that runs the Boxer programme, and German manufacturer ARTEC.
