Using the latest IPIX technology, KIT:UK Online is packed with facts, figures, pictures and interactive 360-degree interior and exterior profiles that allow visitors to get up close and personal with some incredible state-of-the–art kit. Take a spin in a Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank, Warrior infantry fighting vehicle or Scimitar armoured reconnaissance vehicle. Explore the AS90 155mm self-propelled gun and the Multiple Launched Rocket System self-propelled rocket artillery, and experience the Apache Attack Helicopter and the Gazelle observation and reconnaissance helicopter.
A host of kit is on display including aircraft, communication, artillery, engineering, logistic and armoured equipment, all waiting to be explored with the click of a mouse.
Brigadier Chris Wilson, Director of Capability Integration (Army), said: “KIT:UK shows some great examples of Army equipment and vehicles, and I hope it will help to improve the public’s knowledge of the British Army. Kit is absolutely critical to the Army’s success and we have an outstanding range at our soldiers’ disposal”.
In addition to KIT:UK Online more Army equipment can be found at www.army.mod.uk/equipment. Regularly updated, the pages contain information and pictures of over 90 pieces of Army kit, including personal equipment, small arms and support weapons, armoured fighting vehicles, artillery and air defence, engineer equipment, logistic vehicles, electronic battlefield equipment, aircraft, landing craft and assault boats. Both sites link to the Army’s careers page, www.armyjobs.co.uk, for those who think they can handle working with all this kit.
British Army kit is constantly updated and modified. Trials and Development Units rigorously test all new developments in armoured vehicles, artillery and infantry equipment, making sure the Army has the very best available. Kit:UK Online is best experienced through a broadband internet connection. Users with standard dial-up modems will encounter slow download speeds. A magazine version of KIT:UK is also available.
