procures upgrades, supports
engineering and survivability
enhancements, and procures
active protection systems. The
Bradley programme upgrades
the existing Bradley M2A2 ODS
SA/M7A3 vehicles to the Bradley
M2A4/M7A4 configuration
in support of the European
Reassurance Initiative (ERI).
The Bradley Improvement

generation FLIR integration and
other fire control systems
As some analysts point out that
