☆ How the US Army botched a $1 billion upgrade of the Stryker armored vehicle's gun
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-18 | by ( Michael Peck | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +6 min

Fearing that its Stryker armored vehicles were outgunned by Russian and Chinese designs, the US Army had an idea for a quick fix: Develop an unmanned Stryker turret with a 30-mm autocannon. The Army obliged in 2018 with the Infantry Carrier Vehicle-Dragoon, which added a remote-controlled 30-mm gun turret — manufactured by Norwegian firm Kongsberg — to 91 flat-bottom-hull versions of the Strykers. This would be enough to upgrade Strykers in three brigades of 83 vehicles each, plus an additional 20 for testing. Instead of a Kongsberg MCT-30 turret, the vehicles would receive a Samson turret made by Israeli firm Rafael. A big red flag should have been the glitches in the turret software that degraded the 30-mm cannon's accuracy.

It’s very much hand in hand,” said DeJoy, who acknowledged being impatient with the pace of change, including the rollout of electric vehicles. Those efficiency-driven changes will help the environment by reducing carbon emissions by eliminating wasteful activities, in addition to electric vehicles and other efforts. Last month, the Postal Service unveiled new EVs and charging stations at a new distribution center in Georgia, one of many updated sorting and delivery centers that are opening. The Postal Service plans to take delivery of 66,000 electric vehicles over five years. But not everyone is thrilled by the focus on electric vehicles.

CEO of industrial manufacturer Oshkosh Corp. John Pfeifer told CNBC's Jim Cramer artificial intelligence is already making his products more efficient. In fact, it has the potential to make vehicles like garbage trucks completely autonomous. Pfeifer said the company has already used AI to eliminate the role of the person who traditionally stands at the back of the truck. "The continuous evolution of autonomous functionality and AI will allow better productivity that ultimately can go completely unmanned." "We really like this acquisition, we've been working on this for a little while, probably three or four years we've been interested in it," Pfeifer said.

Postal Service (USPS) said on Monday it expected to receive next-generation delivery vehicles in June 2024, nine months behind a prior schedule. In March 2022, the USPS placed an initial $2.98 billion order for 50,000 next-generation delivery vehicles from Oshkosh Corp (OSK.N) and previously said it expected to begin receiving deliveries in October 2023. In April 2022, 16 states and environmental groups filed a lawsuit seeking to block USPS's plan to buy mostly gas-powered next-generation delivery vehicles, arguing that the agency failed to comply with environmental regulations. The modern vehicles will replace many older USPS vehicles that lack air bags and other safety equipment as well as air conditioning. In December, USPS said it would more than double planned electric delivery vehicles purchases after initially saying it would buy nearly all gasoline-powered delivery vehicles.

☆ Inflation Has More U.S. Companies Ditching ‘Last-In, First-Out’ Accounting

Newell Brands, maker of WoodWick candles and other consumer brands, is among the companies shifting some inventory accounting to FIFO from LIFO. U.S. companies from truck maker Oshkosh Corp. to consumer-goods conglomerate Newell Brands Inc. are moving away from “last-in, first-out” accounting, or LIFO, for their inventory, as inflation continues to pressure businesses’ earnings. Elevated inflation has weighed on companies’ earnings over the past two years, and economists expect it to remain above recent norms at least through this year. The producer-price index, a closely watched gauge of inflation at the wholesale level, rose 4.6% in February from a year earlier—well off the 11.7% annualized peak in March 2022 but still historically high.

Other places with falling prices saw the big price increases during the frenzied home buying market of the past few years. Instead, prices for single-family homes climbed in nearly 90% of metro areas tracked by NAR in the fourth quarter: 166 markets out of 186 saw prices still going up.
