RG33 Design Credit
Q: Isn't the RG33 designed and manufactured by the Ground Systems Division of Land and Armaments, not OMC? The former UDLP guys. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.225.225.89 (talk • contribs)


 * It's manufactured by the Ground Systems Division in York, Pennsylvania, in Michigan and in South Carolina, but it was primarily designed by OMC in South Africa (with the Ground Systems Division in Santa Clara designing auxiliary items such as the robotic arm interface). You need only look at OMC's other vehicles, such as the RG-31, to see the family resemblance. &mdash; Impi 16:43, 12 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I understand where that assumption comes from, as Ground Systems has more of a tracked history. I'm just saying that everything I hear in the industry is that Ground Systems took the RG31 with blessings from BAE on high and led the redesign by themselves, including all the automotive and survivability systems, in response to a desire to get into the wheeled vehicle game.  OMC was in the loop to help them with this transition, but the TDP belongs to GS. I'll look for something official to cite for this, but that's my understanding. &mdash;  00:00, 14 September 2007 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.48.201.225 (talk • contribs)


 * Thats pretty much what I understood also. Tmaull 18:02, 15 September 2007 (UTC)


 * That's incorrect. Ground Systems was the overall co-ordinator, but it commissioned Land Systems OMC to design the vehicle, which was then shipped to Ground Systems' Santa Clara division. There it was fitted with US-sourced ballistic glass and seats and the EOD robotic arm before undergoing ballistic tests. See this article for confirmation, as well as this article which mentions how Land Systems OMC receives royalties for the RG-33 design, which wouldn't be the case had Ground Systems developed the vehicle. &mdash; Impi 15:30, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Conversion
The article needs some conversions to metrical units. --MoRsE (talk) 16:26, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 21:00, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
