Bulldog
The Bulldog, as designated by the British Army, is the up-armoured, upgraded FV430 vehicle.
BAE Systems as design authority of the FV430 series was awarded a contract from the MOD in 2005 to upgrade 500 FV430 vehicles with a new powertrain.
Bulldog now offers improved speed and performance, improved mobility and improved reliability. The Royal Green Jackets Battalion (newly formed up as the Rifles) based at Basra Palace is the first unit to use the Bulldogs on operations. Bulldog’s enhanced crew protection as well as improved mobility is fundamental to the military plan to support troops in Iraq.
