- The final M113 vehicle to be produced at the BAE Systems Wingfield site was farewelled in a ceremony in August 2012.
The vehicle was driven off the line by by Vietnam Veterans Trooper Ron Rule (Rtd) and Warrant Officer Class 1 Frank Owen OAM (Rtd).

I drove one of those from 1980-1982. M113a1 1bn/28th inf 1st id.
Reopen the production line. The world needs a first rate armor production facility.
Now all you have to do is be smart enough to convince the Australian Government to get 24 + AAV7's from the USMC bring them to Australia to upgrade and use them from the Canberra Class
NIce!
An RPG will make a mess out of all that aluminium
At one time perhaps. The best fix was the cheapest solution. Essentially a simple cage that detonates RPG rounds before they get to the hull. The Israelis used reactive armour on their M-60 tanks back in the 80s and 90s. The US Marines used it too on their M60A3s during the '91 Persian Gulf War. Don't know if either used it on other vehicles. I did see a number of US Army M113A3s with cage protection in the Iraq War.
The purpose of light AFVs is not immortality in a slugging match, but carrying FIREPOWER where mere infantry cannot. It can carry troops, their gear, a wide variety of heavy weapons, and do it reliably. Viet Nam still use their M113 and rejected Israeli armor upgrades because weight is the enemy of mobility. BTW if weight isn't minded, the M113A3 is armored equivalent to the larger Bradley. Modern APS like Israeli Trophy can be fitted, and without them ANY tank or track including Abrams and Leopard are ATGW bait. The US will never fight in jungle again so it doesn't need tracks that swim, but Australia might. The US retains M113 but those will be killed off as soon as someone figures out a replacement. Guess what has not happened? The size and weight and mobility work very well and you cannot take Abrams and Bradley where they will not fit or where they will sink due to high ground pressure.
All sorts of things will make a mess out of all sorts of things. Different types of vehicles need to be hardened against different levels of threats depending on what their role is and how they will be used. The M113's job is to quickly get troops where they need to be and then go take cover until the troops need to go somewhere else, and to carry people or cargo as part of convoys over rough terrain. As long as their force commander is smart, it doesn't need to be able to withstand RPGs.
Besides, almost any vehicle can be made to withstand the older generation of RPGs (with the single shaped charge instead of the tandem warhead that newer RPGs have) by installing slat armor. It's basically just installing lightweight material a distance away from the body of the vehicle, which makes the rocket explode a foot away from the vehicle instead of right up against it. This can work with metal cages, so long as the gap between the cage bars is shorter than the diameter of whatever rocket you expect to be attacked with.
M113 is not designed for frontline battles and only for support or a taxi
The innovation is just amazing, they took an M113 and built an M113, who would of thought 💭
They made it “better”?!? Modern turn signal lights, fancy external tanks, cargo basket, upgraded engines and steering, but that horn! Hahahahaha! Yeah.
@@wilfredosoto2722 they extended them by 50cm or so, M113's usually only have 5 road wheels, these have 6 now
M125AS4 mortar carrier
You’re so dumb it’s unbelievable.
More frontal protection wouldnt be that bad ...
I see they toke Bae out for a ride
couldn't agree more.
What's this ceremony about?
Ronald Reagan This is the last M113 to undergo a major upgrade by BAE
Sound like a turbine engine
