The tender is designed for the supply of machines, spare parts and logistics support of contractors. The all-terrain is able to move on any surface and at extremely cold temperatures. Bae Systems has won the US Army Tender for the supply of an ATV in cold climate. About it reports Defense Brief. Bae Systems and Oshkosh Defense participated in the tender. The tender of $ 279 million is designed to supply machines, spare parts and logistics support of contractors.

The US Army chose the winner after the prototype was obtained. The all-terrain vehicle is needed by the US Army to replace small-scale auxiliary vehicles, which has been in service since the 1980s. They are also known as BV206. After testing the prototype in early 2022 on Alaska, the US Army chose Beovulf to replace BV206. The trials took into account that the most important in the trials were the feedback of the military.

The design of the machine is an unintended tracked machine for transportation of personnel and different cargoes of two compartments. The machine is able to cross snow, ice, sand, dirt, swamps and rocks. Beowulf can also swim in flooded areas. In total, the US Army will buy 163 machines to meet the needs of Arctic operations.
