Stone Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Depends on which turret! The original production ones were GKN Sankey (ie BAE Land Systems) with the 30mm RARDEN, Desert Warrior and Arctic Warrior and Warrior 2000 have a Delco turret, there was one by Cockerill (Belgian?) and the Warrior Capability Sustainment Programme / Warrior Life Improvement Programme had 4 turrets submitted, one Lockheed / Rheinmetall, one Selex Galileo / Oto Melara, one by BAE and one by General Dynamics - the BAE one was chosen. There'll be at least one prototype of each so you'd have to find out which kind of Warrior you were thinking of first... Confused yet? My guess is that they'll change the turret again before the scheduled end-of-life in 2025 as their requirements change, most IFVs seem to be standardising on the Mk44 30mm Bushmaster (3 of the 4 WLIP turrets had one!) so my money would be on that.
