future rapid effect system

The Future Rapid Effect System (often abbreviated FRES) is a proposed family of medium weight armoured vehicles for the British Army. It is expected to enter service around 2010.

History

The Future Rapid Effect System programme was officially launched on the May 5, 2004. In July 2004, the Delivering Security in a Changing World: Future Capabilites defence review announced three light armoured squadrons would be established to support the development of FRES. The programme is currently in a two-year assessment phase, during which the exact number of FRES vehicles required will be determined.

Purpose

FRES will be airmobile in C-130 or A400M aircraft.

FRES variants will fulfill several roles, including combat and support.

FRES will initially replace the Army's Saxon APC, FV432 series, and CVR(T) series vehicles. It will later replace in part the Warrior IFV and Challenger 2 tank.
