General Dynamics European Land Systems-Santa Bárbara Sistemas (#GDELS-SBS) and SENER Aeroespacial presented the #ASCOD Autonomous Platform program to the Spanish Army during the 2E+I Forum, which provides a significant competitive advantage for carrying out remote or autonomous operations in a secure environment. The display of the #ASCOD system as an optionally manned platform, in this case on rubber tracks, was carried out as part of the dynamic demonstration held on October 10th within the 2E+I Forum at the Los Alijares Maneuvers Field (Toledo) of the Infantry Academy and within the framework of the Force 35 initiative of the Logistics Support Command (MALE) of the Spanish Army.
The system provides the capacity for a remote and autonomous operation and being conceived as an add-on kit, it can be applied to newly designed ground platforms or transform conventional manned platforms into optionally unmanned platforms, a requirement that is increasingly in demand in the European Union and NATO for safe operations.
The #ASCOD Platform Autonomous program is a clear example of cooperation among the Spanish Defense industry, based on the technological excellence of both companies, General Dynamics European Land Systems-Santa Bárbara Sistemas and #SENER Aeroespacial, to respond to the needs of the Spanish Armed Forces and, at the same time, position itself in the international market in a highly competitive manner and contributing to the export capacity of the Spanish Defense sector.

https://www.janes.com/defence-news/land ... -programmeThe Spanish Army has commenced design studies for a new Tracked Support Vehicle (Vehículo de Apoyo de Cadenas: VAC) and intends to start manufacturing for the programme in 2024, according to a presentation given by a representative from the Spanish Army at the International Armoured Vehicles (IAV) conference, which was held in London from 23 to 26 January 2023.
The VAC is intended to replace around 2,000 vehicles from the M113 tracked armoured personnel carrier (APC) family that are in service with the Spanish Army. It will be produced in several different variants so that it is capable of performing various combat support roles in the three heavy tracked brigades that will continue to form part of the Spanish Army's future force structure.
