First UK-made British Army Boxer rolled out
The first batch of 623 Boxer ordered were built in Germany with the majority of the work now done in West Midlands and North-East Wales.
The UK MoD has awarded Cheshire-based services and engineering business TP Group a £5 million ($6.45 million) contract, with a £1 million six-month option, to provide support for the British Army’s next-generation tactical communication and information system.
AIM-listed TP Group is expected to complete the contract in 2022.
According to a statement from TP, it will provide ‘multi-disciplinary customer support’ for the British Army’s £3.2 billion Land Environment Tactical Communication and Information Services & Systems programme, also known as Morpheus. This is designed to replace the existing Bowman C4I system by the end of the decade.

The UK’s Land Mobility Programme (LMP) is seen as vital for both the British Army and local industry as it is worth billions-of-dollars for thousands of vehicles.
The establishment of the office, which will be based in Bristol, UK, will work to support NAREW, Poland's Ground Based Air Defence Programme.
Around US$329 million will be spent on the development of the interceptor which will work to protect national and military facilities from the threat of North Korean artillery.
The trucks are being ordered within a framework agreement concluded in July 2024 which covers the delivery of up to 6,500 trucks worth up to €3.5 billion (US$3.6 billion).
The Naval Strike Missile (NSM) Coastal Defence System (CDS) command and control (C2) console is derived from the National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System air defence console currently in service with the Australian Army,
