I note that this page covers the long (very long) and complex development process, including all the political and legal wrangling over this machine, and does it well.

However, the last section 'touches' upon but really says little about the current status of this program.

Interestingly, if you go over to the WIKI page on the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, and scroll down to the section titled "Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle", you get a much better view of the current status of both the production and delivery of vehicles, along with a better listing of the variants being made!

I recommend therefore, that it may be time for a full "Info Box" at the top right, along with a shorter, more concise development section. (Or maybe some of the more arcane development stages could be pushed onto the Next Generation Combat Vehicle page.)

A quick look at the page for the M10 Booker, which started as part of the program Next Generation Combat Vehicle, which then sub-divided into the Mobile Protected Firepower. It too had a long and convoluted development history. But now, the page for the M10 Booker, is concise, up and running.

In short, the AMPV has matured as a vehicle, it is not only being produced, but fielded, so we need to get the page devoted to it brought up to speed!
