well articulated - bronco vs viking

By Chilly Craps

Lately the local printed media has been very excited about ST Kinetics' Bronco All Terrain Tracked Carrier winning BAE Systems' BvS10 Viking Armoured All Terrain Vehicle in the contract to providing 100 vehicles to Royal Marines in Afghanistan.

Other than being reminded of the articulated buses on the road, it also reminds me of a situation where the disciple wins his master.

Why so? The Army first bought the Bv206 from Hägglunds. Hägglunds is now part of BAE Land Systems and the Bv206 is the predecessor of the BvS10. Later, ST Kinetics developed the Bronco, and started equipping The Army with it. And of course, Hägglunds / BAE came up with the BvS10 very much based on the Bv206S (which is the up armoured version of Bv206). If you look at the Bronco and the Viking (or even the earlier Bv206S), they look like twins. The problem is, I can't be certain who was born first.

Maybe this makes a good case study for new product development. I wonder if the master is unhappy with his disciple?
