Further long delays in upgrading ADFs obsolete armoured vehicles, signs that it may be canceled:

This still from a graphic video shows an Australian Bushmaster in #Ukraine hit by 30mm fire. The video also shows the 5 dead crew. If this had been either of the selected replacement vehicles (Redback/Lynx) these men would still be alive and the other guys probably wouldn't be.

The delayed #Land400 program replaces a 60 year old vehicle with even less protection than Bushmaster. Bushmaster is good in its job, but this isn't its job.

We shouldn't be pretending the ADF has an Infantry capability by forcing our soldiers to do media dog and pony shows with our allies, pretending to train for war in platforms incapable of surviving in war.

I have been working with NVidia Jetson and Raspberry Pi (CM4) for full ARM support, builds now available on our website. Built the demo no one was asking for! Still pretty cool if you want GVA in your pocket. Hear are the specs:

* Seed reTerminal with Pi Computer Module 4
* Capacitive touch panel (support multi-touch)
* Bluetooth 5.0
* WiFi 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ac
* CAN / RS485 / RS232
* 500Gb SSD
* 32Gb eMMC
* Built in speaker (for audiable alarms, obvs)
* Battery operated for when you need to dismount 😁
* H.265 (4Kp60 decode), for next gen video
* 1 x 2-lane MIPI CSI camera interface
* 26 x GPIOs
* PoE to recharge
* 5G modem (optional)
* Only 3.6V!!!!

Intel and his little brother ARM, working happily together.
