- Answer
-
The Heavy Armour Automotive Improvement Programme (HAAIP) aims to deliver automotive improvements across the Challenger based Heavy Tracks Fleet, Driver Training Tanks, the Challenger Armoured Repair and Recovery Vehicle, TITAN, TROJAN, and Challenger 3.
It addresses automotive performance, reliability, through life costs and maintainability out to 2040. The modifications provided by HAAIP will increase the mobility, agility and stability of the wider family of Heavy Tracked vehicles, providing a critical foundation for future enhancements and systems.
Much of HAAIP’s work is supported by British Industry and supports the Strategic Defence Review’s directive to make UK Defence an engine for growth.
