Rheinmetall successfully tested Soucy Composite Rubber Track System on Lynx KF41 Infantry Fighting Vehicle with great success. Flexibility of Lynx to operate with different track systems ensures adaptability to future battlefield requirements.
Rheinmetall, the largest supplier of military vehicles to the Australian Defense Forces, has successfully completed testing the Soucy Composite Rubber Track (CRT) System on the Lynx KF41 infantry fighting vehicle. And it can be said: it's running smoothly.
"The vehicle was reconfigured from its base steel track system to the CRT system, with successful operation demonstrated on the CRT system before returning to the base steel track configuration with great success," rejoices Gary Stewart, Rheinmetall Defence Australia Managing Director, and is confident: "The Rheinmetall Lynx infantry fighting vehicle has the modularity and flexibility to operate with both types of track systems, allowing the armed forces to configure the vehicle to meet operational requirements. This ensures that the Lynx IFV can support the benefits of both systems." Stewart emphasizes that on the battlefield of the future, flexibility is key to adapting vehicle capabilities to the required threat environment. The modular Lynx can be configured to meet this new environment.

Looks good, but: Whether it can also provide a better grip, like a GTI, is (still) unknown. Also unknown is what kind of lifespan is expected for such a track.
