Common Base Platform
Both vehicles have been
developed according to GDELS’
Common Base Platform (CBP)
design, with modular capability
components and open vehicle
electronic architecture.
The aim of the CBP design, according
to GDELS, is to base all ASCOD
variants on a single common
platform to give a reduced
logistic footprint and create
cross-national manufacturing
and operational interoperability
between military users.
ASCOD is already deployed
by Austria (as the Ulan), Spain
(as the Pizarro) and further
development resulted in the Ajax
family of vehicles for the UK.
