Rheinmetall (External Stands
D261/D211) has unveiled its
latest Lynx tracked infantry
fighting vehicle, developed as
a private venture to meet a
perceived gap in the market
for a vehicle that is capable of
being used for a wide range of
battlefield missions.
Ben Hudson, head of the
recently formed Rheinmetall
Vehicle Systems Division, said:
“Lynx is an advanced new
modular family of vehicles that
offers our customers the highest
levels of survivability, mobility,
lethality and capacity.”
To meet different user
requirements there are two
versions of the Lynx, the KF31
and KF41, with the KF standing
for Kettenfahrzeug (German for
tracked vehicle). The KF31 shown
at Eurosatory has a crew of
three consisting of commander,
gunner and driver, with six
dismounts in the rear. The KF41
is longer and weighs 38 tonnes
and in addition to its crew of
three has eight dismounts.
The hull is of all-welded steel
fitted with modular armour,
with special protection against
top attack weapons. The double
floor provides a high level of
protection against mines.
The first Lynx is fitted with the
latest-generation Rheinmetall
Lance turret, armed with a
35mm dual-feed cannon with

air bursting munition capability,
and an externally powered
Rheinmetall 7.62mm coaxial
machine gun to the right, with
a pod of two anti-tank guided
weapons on the left side of the
turret.
In addition to being fitted
with a computerised fire control
system, the Lance turret has a
stabilised electro-optical sight
system, which includes day/
thermal sights incorporating a
laser rangefinder for commander
and gunner, so allowing hunter/
killer target engagements.
The vehicle is powered
by a Liebherr diesel engine
developing 635kW coupled to an
Allison automatic transmission.

China North Industries
Corporation (Norinco) (Hall 5,
H521) is showing its total fire
support capability at Eurosatory
this year, albeit in model form
only. This includes an extensive
range of tracked and wheeled
self-propelled (SP) artillery
systems, but also towed artillery
systems, artillery rocket systems,
ammunition and the essential
target acquisition systems.
China has moved away from
the Russian 152mm calibre to the
standard NATO 155mm calibre
and is marketing the 155mm/
52 calibre PLZ52 tracked SP
artillery system and its associated
ammunition resupply vehicle,
alongside the older 155mm/
45 calibre PLZ45 SP system that
has been sold to at least two
countries in the Middle East.
SEA
An increasing number of
countries are now moving to
wheeled SP artillery systems
and Norinco is filling this gap
with its SH1 155mm/52 calibre
system on a 6x6 platform with a
protected cab.
Towed artillery systems are
not neglected and these include
the AH1 155mm/45 calibre and
the AH2 155mm/52 calibre;
both of these have an auxiliary
propulsion unit.
Norinco has now completed
development of its latest AH4
155mm/39 calibre gun howitzer
that is very similar in concept to
the BAE Systems M777 but uses
lightweight materials, which has
enabled its weight to be reduced
to 4.26 tonnes for use by rapid
deployment forces.
Norinco is also marketing at
least three types of 122mm SP
artillery systems, the tracked
SH3 and the wheeled SH2 and
CS/SH1.
To provide fire support at
longer ranges is the AR3 guided
multi-launch rocket system,
which can carry pods of 370mm
or 300mm unguided or guided
rockets to allow for precision
target engagement out to 280km.
tactical unmanned air system
(STUAS), but features enhanced
performance and mission
capability. The company expects
to formally launch the Orbiter 4
before the end of the year.
The 50kg Orbiter 4 raises
maximum endurance to more
than 24 hours from Orbiter 3’s
seven hours. It will be able to
reach an altitude of 18,000ft,
and can operate at a line-ofsight range of 250km. Mission
effectiveness is being enhanced
through a dual-payload capability,
allowing the STUAS to perform
two missions simultaneously.
Aeronautics is presenting
all three of its current Orbiter
UAVs: the Orbiter 1K loitering
munition, the Orbiter 2 four-hour
endurance small UAS and the
Orbiter 3 STUAS. Also on show is
the popular 230kg Aerostar.

➔ CHRISTOPHER F FOSS
Following a competition that
included extensive trials with
22 prototype vehicles each
submitted by AM General,
Lockheed Martin and Oshkosh
Defense, the Joint Light Tactical
Vehicle (JLTV) design submitted
by Oshkosh Defense (Hall 5,
Stand D608) was selected as
the winner. It is being shown at
Eurosatory for the first time.
The JLTV is the replacement
for the up-armoured version of
the AM General High-Mobility
Multi-purpose Wheeled Vehicle
(HMMWV), which is used in
large numbers by the US Army,
Marine Corps and other elements
of the US armed forces.
John Bryant, president of
Oshkosh Defense, said: “The
JLTV that we are building
today is the result of years of
development and rigorous US
government testing, which
has resulted in the highest
performance ever achieved in a
light tactical wheeled vehicle.”
Compared with the
up-armoured HMMWV, the
JLTV will provide a step change
in capability, with a higher level
of protection, payload, speed and

Thales has unveiled the latest
member of its Ground Master air

mobility is achieved by the
installation of the Oshkosh
Defense TAK-4i independent
suspension system, which can be
raised or lowered by the driver
to suit the terrain being crossed.
The TAK-4i provides for 508mm
of independent wheel travel.
It normally has a crew of four
and here at Eurosatory is fitted
with a Kongsberg Protector
remote weapon station armed
with a .50 M2 HB machine gun.
The JLTV can be carried inside
C-130, C-5 or C-17 transport
aircraft or carried slung under a
CH-47 or CH-53 helicopter.
The company was awarded a

$6.7 billion firm fixedprice contract last year,
and if all options are
exercised, a total of 49,099
JLTV will be procured. Of these,
the US Marine Corps will take
delivery of 5,500 units with an
initial operating capability in
FY2018 with 69 units in service
with one US Marine Corps
infantry battalion. The first US
Army unit will be equipped in
FY2018 with an initial operating
capability of FY2019.
Because of the high numbers
to be produced for the US Armed
Forces, the JLTV is expected to
be competitively priced for the
export market.

be mounted on a variety of
tactical vehicles, including 4x4s,
allowing it to be moved around
the battlefield. The system’s
electronics are mounted on
springs to dampen the effects of
being driven over rough terrain.
At less than 4 tonnes weight,
Ground Master 60 can also be
positioned by helicopter, and the
system can provide an air picture
in about 10 minutes from being
emplaced. Alternatively, the
GM60 can be used in fixed roles,
acting as a gap-filler, or perhaps
to provide protection for larger
fixed sites. Naturally the system
can be fully networked into
larger air defence systems.
GM60 employs a spinning
AESA antenna rotating at
40rpm, which folds down flat
for storage and transportation.
The radar employs stacked
multibeam technology to provide
360° coverage from the horizon
up to an elevation of 70°. The
high Doppler performance
makes it ideal for low, slow,
small targets such as UAVs, and
Thales reports excellent results
against targets trying to hide in
clutter, including in man-made
environments. Range is quoted
as 80km (50 miles).
While the Ground Master
60’s primary role is air defence,
working with short-range gun
and SHORAD missile defence
weapons such as the infraredguided Mistral, the radar also
provides an excellent counterrockets and mortars alert
capability, providing a point-ofimpact prediction for warning
and point-of-origin information
for counter-fire.
High reliability is another
feature, with Thales claiming a
2,500 hours mean time between
critical failures. Furthermore, it
typically requires only about 30
hours of annual maintenance.
Although the radar is making
its public debut at Eurosatory,
the first contract for it was
signed in 2010, and a number
have already been delivered.

Iron Fist system designed for
large infantry fighting vehicles
and main battle tanks, the IF-LC
is intended to provide hard-kill
protection for smaller vehicles
against a variety of threats.
Days before Eurosatory, IMI
(Hall 6, Stand D568) announced
that Iron Fist technology had
been selected by the US Army
for its MAPS (modular active
protection systems) technology

demonstrations, IMI having
teamed with General Dynamics
Ordnance and Tactical Systems
to perform vehicle integration
and production of the Iron Fist
system.
Both Iron Fist and IF-LC
provide 360° protection around
the vehicle against threats fired
from short and long ranges, and
when operating in the open field
or in tight urban environments.
IF-LC can be installed without
any penetration of armour,
allowing it to be rapidly fielded
on smaller vehicles. Additionally,
its efficient operation allows it to
be added to older, large vehicles
that may not have the SWaP
(size, weight and power) ability
to mount the full-sized
system.
Iron Fist employs
independent radar and infrared
sensors to rapidly detect and
track incoming threats, such as
anti-tank guided missiles, rocketpropelled grenades, kinetic
energy and high-explosive antitank rounds. The system can
generate infrared jamming in the
first instance for a soft kill, but
if that is not successful a small
hard-kill interceptor is fired.
The firing of the interceptor is
conducted automatically, and
engagement of the threat is
performed away from the vehicle.
The small warhead minimises
the chances of collateral damage
and injury to nearby personnel.

➔ SHAUN CONNORS
Iveco Defence Vehicles (External
Stand D391) is displaying a pair
of new vehicles that highlight
the comprehensive range of its
logistic vehicle portfolio.
The largest of these, a tactical
truck range high mobility tractor
unit (above right), has been
developed by the company in
response to the rising demand
for high-power tractor units.
The M1250.70T WM 8x8 is
powered by a 16-litre FPT
Industrial Cursor 16 engine
that develops 680hp (507kW),
coupled to a 12-speed automated
transmission. Also in answer to
current demands, the M1250.70T
WM is fitted with Iveco’s
purpose-designed flat-panelled
cab that readily accepts appliqué
ballistic, IED and mine blast
protection, which is able to be
installed while on operations.
Iveco’s 8x8 high mobility
tractor units (coupled to
SOFRAME semi-trailers) have
been in service with the Italian
Army since about 2002, with
around 60 units delivered.
Highlighting demands for
increased power and capability,
initial deliveries were powered
by 500hp (373kW) engines,
while more recent deliveries
were powered by 560hp (418kW)
engines. These and the current
M1250.70T WM are produced by
ASTRA Veicoli Industriali, the
specialist truck manufacturer
acquired by Iveco in 1986.
At the opposite end of the
size/weight spectrum is the
M70.20 WM 4x4 (above left),
the successor to the M40.10 WM
series, around 18,000 examples of
which have been sold worldwide.
Targeted at the full spectrum
of military, security and
humanitarian roles, crew cab
and van versions of the M70.20
WM are on display, but the
vehicle will be available in
multiple wheelbases and body
configurations to suit individual
user requirements. With a gross
vehicle weight of up to 7,000kg,
the M70.20 WM is designed
to carry 8 + 2 personnel with

payload of up to 3,500kg.
As a purpose-designed
military vehicle, the M70.20
WM is optimised to meet
current demands for deployable
forces, and with a low, compact
silhouette is air-transportable
by C-130 Hercules transport
aircraft. It is also adaptable to
operations in climatic extremes
ranging from -32 to +49°C, can
be lightly armoured if required,
and is available in left- or righthand drive configurations.
If required the M70.20 WM is
available with an FPT Industrial
diesel engine developing 175hp
(131kW) that meets current
EURO 6 emissions requirements.

Ahead of the formal qualification
MBDA has launched the
equipment serial production
so that delivery can start in
mid-2017 with an operational

Medium-range missile
for French Army
HOT (4,000m) anti-tank guided
weapons.
When compared with the
MILAN, the MMP has an allweather capability and a longer
range of up to 4,000m. It also
has a more effective tandem
high-explosive anti-tank warhead
that will penetrate more than
1,000mm of steel armour, as
well as having a fragmentation
effect, to neutralise targets
fitted with explosive reactive
armour. The warhead and solid
propellant rocket motor are
insensitive munition-compliant,
which is becoming a mandated
requirement by many users.
It can also be fired from an
enclosed space and has two
modes of operation, high and low
trajectory, with the high mode
being used to attack the more
vulnerable upper surfaces of an
armoured fighting vehicle.
The standard man-portable
MMP consists of the tripod
launcher and its associated day/
night sighting system and the
missile in its disposable launch
container. The MMP will also be
integrated into the two-person

A key feature of the MBDA MMP
ATGW is that it can be fired
from within a confined space
turret installed on the French
Army’s future Jaguar (6x6)
reconnaissance vehicle under a
separate DGA contract awarded
in December 2014.

Nouvelle charge utile
pour le Skystar 330
➔ PAR FRÉDÉRIC LERT
Le ballon captif trouve depuis
quelques décennies une nouvelle
utilité dans les missions de surveillance statique. Le Skystar 330,
modèle phare de l’israélien RT LTA
Systems, dispose à présent d’une
nouvelle charge utile développée
par Elta (Israël). Appelée ELI-3332,
elle embarque une caméra électrooptique jour/nuit complétée par un
radar doppler à impulsions. Elle est
capable de détecter un véhicule à
15km et un individu isolé à 9km.
Un capteur inertiel couplé à un GPS
permet un positionnement précis
des cibles repérées. Via quatre faisceaux de fibres optiques, les informations sont transmises à la station
de contrôle au sol, gérée par un seul
opérateur. Hissée sous son ballon
jusqu’à 300 mètres d’altitude, la
charge utile assure à moindre coût
la surveillance permanente d’une
vaste zone. L’ensemble est facilement
déployable et peut trouver des applications dans le domaine de la protection de bases et des frontières,
ou même d’opération ponctuelles
conduites par les forces de police.
Le ballon Skystar 330 peut endurer
des vents de 40 kts (74km/h) et rester jusqu’à trois jours d’affilée en vol
statique, entre deux compléments
d’hélium.

In 2016, arguably the most
iconic military vehicle ever –
the Willys MB, better known as

birthday. That milestone is being
commemorated at Eurosatory by
Africa Automotive Distribution
Services (External Stand D490),
which has been appointed by the
Chrysler-owned Jeep company
as an authorised supplier of
the current Jeep J8 to selected
government organisations
around the world.
Today’s Jeep military models

continues to be supplied to the
US Department of Defense.
Headquartered in Gibraltar,
AADS is responsible for the
conversion, accessorisation
and armouring of the J8. The
company provides bespoke
aftermarket support for its
customers and has carried out
nearly 50 international training
programmes.
Two- and four-door models
are available, outfitted for
a variety of roles. Military
versions include command and
enhanced command, utility,
troop carrier, reconnaissance,
special forces, light patrol
vehicle in both hard- and
soft-top variants, mobile

Wisent 2 in the AEV role, with
dozer blade raised and excavator
arm with bucket traversed to the
rear. This vehicle is also fitted with
the Swedish Barracuda thermal
reduction and camouflage system
➔ CHRISTOPHER F FOSS
Flensburger Fahrzeugbau
Gesellschaft (FFG) (Hall 6,
Stand K652) is building up
the export order book for its
Wisent 2 Support Vehicle. This
was originally developed as a
private venture to meet emerging
requirements for a Leopard 2
main battle tank (MBT)-based
platform that could be rapidly
reroled for the specialised
armoured recovery vehicle or
armoured engineer vehicle (AEV)
battlefield missions.
Canada, which ordered 18
AEV variants, was the launch
customer, with final deliveries
due in December 2016. By May
2016, the Wisent 2 had been
also been ordered by Qatar (6),
Norway (6) and the United Arab
Emirates (undisclosed quantity),
with production expected
to continue to at least 2019.
Canada and Norway use surplus
refurbished Leopard 2 MBT
hulls, replacing older vehicles
based on the Leopard 1, while
Qatari and UAE systems are
based on brand-new Leopard 2
hulls supplied by Krauss-Maffei
Wegmann.
The Leopard 2 hull is fitted
with a brand-new all-steel
armoured superstructure, with a
spall liner for the crew of three,
who are seated one behind
the other on the left. During
operations in Afghanistan,
Iraq and the Balkans, anti-tank
mines were a major problem
and the Wisent 2 is fitted with
an enhanced mine protection
package that is stated to provide
protection to STANAG 4569
Levels IVa and IVb. For a higher
level of battlefield survivability,
ballistic protection to Level V can
be provided.
The standard Leopard 2 MTU
1,500hp (1,100kW) power pack
is retained but a 17kW auxiliary
power unit is fitted, which
enables all the key subsystems
to be run with the main engine
switched off. Mounted on the
right side of the hull is the
hydraulically operated crane
arm or excavator arm, which is
traversed to the rear when not
required and can be operated
from within the vehicle or by
remote control.
The excavator arm can be
fitted with special-to-role
equipment for the engineer role,
such as a bucket with a digging
depth of 4.4m and reach of 9m,
auger or pincer for removing
trees or road blocks. Mounted
The PMMC G 5 offers a large interior and high-level protection

w
SEA
at the front of the hull is the
hydraulically operated support
blade, which can be lowered
to the ground when the crane,
excavator or main winch is being
used.
The dozer blade can be
removed and replaced by more
specialised combat engineer
equipment, such as a track-width
mine plough – heavy, or a fullwidth mine plough – heavy,
which are normally supplied by
Pearson Engineering of the UK.
When being used in the mine
clearing role, the vehicle can
also be fitted with the safe lane
marking system (LMS). This
consists of two racks of pennants
mounted one either side at the
rear of the platform. These are
coupled to the LMS control
unit and the vehicle-mounted
compressor.
The Wisent 2 Support Vehicle
is fitted with an electronic
architecture to make it easier
to fit new subsystems without a
major rework of the hull.
Crew safety and special
mission adaptability are also
essential cornerstones of the
multirole Protected Mission
Module Carrier (PMMC) G5.
FFG here provides different
mission modules or variants
of this system, always offering
the required configuration
for whatever task is to be
undertaken. The extensive use
of MOTS and COTS products
and the robust design of the
vehicle, combined with a
simple maintenance and service
concept, make PMMC G5 a costeffective solution with extremely
low life-cycle costs. In the matter
of IED and mine protection, G5
sets new standards in its weight
class, while its ballistic armour
can be increased easily by the use
of optional add-on armoury.

une nouvelle charge propulsive
à haute énergie développée sur
fonds propres pour les obus de
120 mm des types APFSDS et HE.
Des essais sont en cours avec un
fabricant d’obus non dévoilé et
cette charge a donné lieu à une première production en série. De ce
fait, Eurenco devient le seul fabricant en Europe à offrir à la fois
des explosifs, des poudres et des
charges propulsives pour munitions de chars. Eurenco a aussi
été sélectionné par Rheinmetall

fabriquer la charge explosive du
nouvel obus d’artillerie DM121 de
155 mm. En PBX moulé, elle a été
testée avec succès depuis un an
par plusieurs centaines de tirs en
Afrique du Sud et en Allemagne.
La production de 30 000 charges
sur trois ans va être lancée. Les
obus seront chargés à L’Isle-surla-Sorgue (France) selon
un procédé innovant. En

Deadly strike
Stop vehicles without firing a shot
Having developed the Fox family of tactical light vehicles and
protective technology such as the BLASTech seat, the UK’s Jankel
company is launching an innovative product at Eurosatory with
the ability to provide a non-contact, non-lethal means of stopping
vehicles, writes David Donald.
Developed in partnership with technology developer e2v, which
specialises in advanced radio frequency (RF) solutions in a range
of domains from aerospace to medical science, the RF Safe-Stop
system employs advanced RF technology to jam the electronic
engine management systems of most types of motor vehicles, from
motorcycles to trucks. The system works against vehicles travelling
at speed, and at considerable distance.
This capability is seen as being ideal for a wide range of security
and defence applications, such as security checkpoints, force
protection, vehicle apprehension and critical facility protection.
The system is also effective against small boats, and could be used
for anti-smuggling and anti-piracy duties, as well as for harbour
protection.
On the battlefield it would
approach almost unseen to
deliver a deadly strike. Estonian
defence solutions provider
Milrem (Hall 5, Stand J521) and
ST Kinetics of Singapore are
demonstrating for the first time
at Eurosatory their weaponised

tactical situations,” said Milrem
chief executive Kuldar Väärsi.
With a payload capacity of
750-1,000kg, THeMIS (Tracked
Hybrid Modular Infantry
System) is suited to a wide
variety of applications. These
include armed tactical defence,
remote reconnaissance, supply
delivery, counter-improvised
explosive device (C-IED)
platform and medevac.
According to Milrem,
the THeMIS prototype has
successfully completed initial
running tests, the last of which
was conducted with the Estonian
Defence Forces (EDF) at the live
military exercise Spring Storm
2016. First live firing tests will
be conducted with the EDF and
ST Kinetics from August through
September 2016.
Thermoteknix designed the
FuseIR to have no moving
parts, to operate completely
silently and to be ‘never blind’.
It combines the company’s
MicroCam 3 thermal imaging
core with the latest highsensitivity and high-frequency
responsive intensifier tube,
for a total weight of just 300g.
It supports various operating
modes, including I2 only, I2
with full thermal (fused) and
thermal edge

With a 40°

Clarity through the haze
➔ DAVID DONALD
A problem suffered by many
long-range surveillance systems
is the reduction in image clarity
encountered in dusty, hazy or
smoky conditions, or during
the twilight hours. Israeli
surveillance house Controp
(Hall 6, Stand C517) is launching
a new system at Eurosatory
that, according to the company,
provides sharp and clear images
in all weather and environmental
conditions.
Speed-ER is a gyro-stabilised
multisensor system that works
on three channels, including
visible light and thermal
imaging. What sets the system
apart is a third short-wave
infrared (SWIR) channel, this
technology providing excellent
imagery through a range
of atmospheric obscurants,
including rain, haze and high
humidity. The system also has
very long range, able to identify
targets at more than 40km
distant. As a consequence, fewer
systems are required to cover a
given area.
Four cameras make up the
Speed-ER system: a cooled
medium-wave infrared thermal
imaging camera with continuous
zoom and 0.4° field of view;
SWIR camera with continuous
optical zoom and 0.22° field of
view; colour day camera with
wide field of view; and another
day camera with narrow field of
view. Also included are a laser
rangefinder, laser pointer and a
command/control unit.
Its ability to see through dust
and haze makes the Speed-ER
ideal for border surveillance
and coastal protection. However,
it also offers significant
capabilities in air defence and
vessel traffic services roles.
The system can be mounted on
masts, and on fixed and mobile
towers.
Speed-ER is now in production
to meet initial demand, with
Controp expecting to receive
further orders before the end of
the year.
Your mission will be challenging.
We are at your side – with our artillery solutions.
The COBRA 120 mm Mortar System
is a high-tech product that sets
new standards for indirect fire
systems. Key factors are the use
of an electric drive an a semi-automatic loader to ensure both the
accuracy and the speed of the
system. The COBRA can be easily
integrated into any tracked or
wheeled vehicle and is designed
so users can be quickly trained
to a high standard of operation.

collateral
damage
Collateral damage
is always a
cause for
concern. PolyCase
Ammunition (Hall 5, Stand
D607) has a range of advanced
small arms ammunition products
designed to reduce this risk.
The US company’s flagship
Ruger ARX bullet (pictured)
is injection-moulded from a
proprietary copper-polymer
matrix, designed to achieve
superior terminal ballistics while
remaining frangible against
hard targets. It penetrates soft
targets and barriers without
deformation, exploiting the
bullet’s forward velocity to
redirect energy laterally via
flutes in the bullet ogive. By
transferring maximum energy
to the target through a fluid
dynamic effect, the bullet has
stopping power and terminal
performance that rival many
expanding handgun bullets.
“Our advanced ammunition
significantly reduces the risk of
collateral damage from ricochet,
over-penetration or a bullet that
travels past its intended target
in constrained defence and
security environments, while
achieving exceptional terminal
performance,” said PolyCase
founder and CEO, Paul Lemke.
PolyCase also manufactures
the RNP projectile, a frangible,
lead-free training option with
identical ballistics and felt-recoil
to the ARX. PolyCase designs and
produces Ruger ARX ammunition
under licence from Ruger.

Ceramic armour
gets complex
➔ DAVID DONALD
German survivability system
expert IBD Deisenroth
Engineering (Hall 6, Stand
K567) is displaying an example
of its latest composite ceramicfaced armour protection. The
component demonstrates the
company’s ability to produce
ceramic armour offering high
protection levels for complex
shapes, a requirement that had
hitherto required heavy steel to
satisfy.
IBD had previously pioneered
the production of homogenous
composite parts for wheelhouses
and sponson areas, offering
high levels of protection against
IED and heavy ballistic threats.
These are in service on several
large armoured vehicles.
However, this ceramic-faced
armour could be produced only
in flat panels.
Now IDB has further
developed the technology to
create complex 3D structural
shapes with integrated ceramics
that can provide protection to
45
STANAG 4659 Levels 5 and
6, as well as against severe
fragmentation and explosively
formed penetrator IED threats.
Replacing steel structural
components with shaped ceramic
armour realises major weight
savings, and also avoids potential
weak spots such as welding
seams. The IBD-developed
production process not only
allows this technology to be
applied to complex geometric
forms, but also to produce
components cost-effectively.

Technology improvements
lead to greater long-range
surveillance applications and
image quality. Israel-based
Semi Conductor Devices (SCD)
(Hall 6, Stand E661) has just
unveiled two advanced shortwave infrared (SWIR) solutions.
“In recent years, the use of
the SWIR wavelength has been
expanding in order to overcome
the shortcomings of the other
wavelengths during twilight
hours and in harsh weather
conditions,” SCD chief executive
Baruch Glick explained. “We
took it one step further and
succeeded in miniaturising this
technology in order to make
it usable in even the smallest
observation devices.”
He was referring to the
low space, weight and power
miniature Cardinal LD that
features SWIR capabilities
for the first time in handheld
applications. It
was specially
designed for
integration
with manportable
devices, where applications
include night imaging, laser
rangefinders, small-size
payloads and image intensifier
replacements and driving vision
enhancement systems.
In the area of long-range
imaging, SCD released the
Cardinal 1280 HD newgeneration high-resolution
SWIR detector. It enables
EO/IR systems to utilise the
SWIR wavelength for low-light
imaging and very long-range day
surveillance in severe weather
conditions such as smoke, dust,

The future of borders, boundaries,
sovereignty and security
➔ TATE NURKIN, SENIOR
DIRECTOR, AD&S THOUGHT
LEADERSHIP, IHS JANE’S
A review of the global security
environment – from the Middle
East to the European Union
to Crimea to the South China
Sea – reveals a world in which
modern borders are in flux and
the capacity of central sovereign
governments around the world
to control effectively all of the
territory, populations, resources
and institutions within their
borders is increasingly tested.
Challenges within states and
contested borders between states
ensure that shifting borders and
boundaries will play a critical
role in establishing new de facto
and de jure borders. New models
of governance and sovereignty
will be required to better affect
competitions for control and to
manage the crises and conflict
these competitions will produce.
Once the domain of failed
or failing states, challenges to
existing borders and boundaries
as well as to Westphalian
concepts of sovereignty are now
more or less ubiquitous. Somalia,
Libya, Crimea, Ukraine and, of
course, Syria and Afghanistan
are among the most acute and
violent manifestations of this
phenomenon, but sovereignty
disputes, governance challenges,
and resulting security crises
are felt more frequently in
previously stable and established
states, as starkly demonstrated
by the increasingly fractured

A new political geography
Contested boundaries and
new dimensions are not new
phenomena. The dimensions
of the international system
have long been both ill-defined
(the UN has 193 members,
but more than 200 ‘countries’
have recognition from at least
one member of the UN) and
dynamic. Over the past 70
years, a hyper-proliferation of
sovereign states has resulted
from two world wars, crumbling
empires, and the fall of the
Soviet Union.
However, the current
challenges to borders and
boundaries are different from
those that radiated out from the
geopolitical ‘big bangs’ of the
20th century. Current tests are
more fundamental, resulting
from a series of powerful and
interconnected forces that are
challenging not just specific
boundaries and borders, but
also the core Westphalian
concept of the primacy of central
sovereigns.

most affecting trends shaping
the future of sovereignty and
governance. The UN now
estimates that just over half of the
world’s population lives in urban
areas, a percentage expected to
grow to nearly two-thirds by the
middle of the century.
The intensity, scale and pace
of urbanisation over the past
20 years have led to notable
decentralisation of responsibility
for governing these increasingly
sprawling and complex
metropolises to local authorities.
As a June 2016 UN Habitat
report on urbanisation noted,
“as cities grow… they have been
the recipients of a worldwide
trend to devolve power from the
national to the local level. The
fact that so many states have
chosen to move along the path
of decentralization constitutes a
remarkable phenomenon”.
The success of this
decentralisation in maintaining
healthy and secure cities is
unclear. Modern cities and
mega-cities are exceptionally
complex ecosystems, increasingly
burdened by the same forces
and trends that are undermining
state sovereignty: inequality;
resource scarcity; immigration
tensions; the expansion of
informal/parallel settlements
within cities; environmental
strain; corruption; crime; and
insecurity.

Smart cities
An increasingly popular response
Sho
LAND
to the challenges, stresses and
inefficiencies inherent in modern
urban life is the development
of smart cities, which IHS
Technology defines as “cities that
have deployed – or are currently
piloting – the integration of
information, communications
and technology (ICT) solutions
across three or more different
functional areas of a city…
mobile and transport, energy
and sustainability, physical
infrastructure, governance and
safety and security”.
In its July 2014 Smart Cities:
Business Models, Technologies
and Existing Projects, IHS
Technology forecast that the
number of smart cities will more
than quadruple from 21 in 2013
to 88 in 2025. The Asia-Pacific
region will have the most smart
cities with 32, buoyed by national
programmes such as India’s 100
Smart Cities and Singapore’s
Smart Nation that prioritise
investment in smart city
technologies. Europe, the Middle
East and Africa regions will
have a combined 31 smart cities.
North America will have 25.
The rapidly growing
requirement for connected
devices in urban areas presents
a commercial opportunity for
the global security industry,
particularly those companies
focused on smart sensors,
biometrics, big data analytics
and other ICT solutions that can
be applied to safety and security
functions and in support of other
smart city functional areas.
The market will no doubt be
highly competitive and entry
will require focused market
intelligence. Nonetheless, IHS
Technology forecasts spending
on smart cities to jump from
around USD1 billion in 2013
to more than USD12 billion
by 2025, while global unit
shipments of internet-connected
smart city devices will increase
from 115.4 million in 2015 to 1.2
billion in 2025.
In addition, increased
connectivity in cities throughout
the world will introduce valuable
efficiencies, but it will also create
new vulnerabilities as a wide
range of valuable information
related to the functioning of
critical infrastructure, traffic
management, resource flow
w
SEA
and allocation, health care,
emergency response and security
and defence operations may be
accessible via connected smart
city systems. Some of these
cyber-challenges are known
and currently being addressed.
The expansion of smart city
connectivity will produce new
types of challenges from a
growing range of clever actors.
Identifying, understanding,
assessing, dissuading, detecting
and defeating threats, both
known and novel, presents
opportunities for the security
industry to partner with central
sovereigns and local authorities
to develop more secure, stable
and sustainable models for
responding to a growing range of
emerging sovereignty challenges.

REGIONAL FOCUS
Europe
The Ukraine crisis and Russia
continue to cast a long shadow,
with the rest of Europe still
reeling from the outbreak of war
on its eastern borders. Threats
to the east were not confined
to Russia, however. With the
Islamic State exporting terror
into Europe and countless
refugees seeking a safe haven
on its shores, the continent was
eventually forced to think long
and hard about its security,
with almost all European states
pledging increases to their
defence spending.
Of all European countries,
France has faced the most
challenges of late. With the
French capital stung twice by
Islamist terror attacks, 2015 saw
French military deployed en
masse on the country’s streets
and launch military strikes
against the Islamic State in Syria
(Operation ‘Chammal’).
The attacks saw the French
military tasked with a new
internal security mission:
Operation ‘Sentinelle’. The
thousands of military personnel
deployed as part of this operation
stretched a military that was
already struggling with the twin
burdens of declining real-term
spending and sustaining 7,000
personnel engaged in operations
abroad.
Accordingly, France’s military
planning law (LPM) was updated
in May 2015 to provide an
additional EUR3.8 billion (USD4
billion) of spending until 2019,
EUR2.8 billion being to support
the then-7,000 strong Operation
‘Sentinelle’. It was, however,
questionable as to whether the
French military would be able
to sustain all its commitments
without additional resources into
the future.
The November 2015 terror
attacks in Paris saw security
placed firmly at the top of
French concerns and the LPM
and budgetary rigour essentially
cast aside. Operation ‘Sentinelle’
was strengthened to 10,000,
while the operational tempo of
France’s Operation ‘Chammal’
was ramped up considerably.

Quite how all of this will affect
the French armed forces is
unclear, although what is clear
is that they are more in demand
than ever.
The Baltic states are also
worthy of mention. Between
them, Estonia, Latvia and
Lithuania – previously part
of the Soviet Union – enacted
a series of measures in 2015
aimed at improving their defence
readiness.
Estonia has for several years
been one of only a handful of
NATO members to spend the
alliance’s required 2% of GDP
on defence. Even so, the country
took the step of planning further
increases in its military spending
in 2015. A significant proportion
of this increase went on the
January 2016 purchase of 35
more CV90 AFVs from Norway.
The country also marked the
ve

Sho

veilla
completion of its GM400 radarbased military air surveillance
network at the beginning of
2015.
Latvia is also increasing its
defence spending, albeit far more
dramatically given its much
lower spending level of less than
1% of GDP prior to the Ukraine
crisis. Having pledged in 2014
to reach the 2% NATO guideline
amount by 2020, the country
stated in 2015 that it would bring
the date forward to 2018. This
amounts to a 120% real-term
increase over just three years: a
rate of increase that may not be
realistic.
Lithuania reintroduced
conscription in April 2016, which
may eventually see its armed
forces increase in size by over
45%. As a consequence of this,
the country announced plans
to increase its 2016 defence
spending by 35%, with further
rises expected in future years.
The country has also made
several major defence purchases,
including 21 Panzerhaubitze
2000 (PzH 2000s) 155mm SPG
systems from Germany and FN
Herstal SCAR-H Precision Rifles,
while by the end of the year the
country was expected to select
a new 8x8 IFV to arm its ‘Iron
Wolf’ mechanised brigade.
utility platform in a very similar
manner to the US JLTV. The
in-service Ocelot (in service as
the Foxhound) is looking good
for the MRV-P requirement and
an upgrade to the Challenger 2 is
also a potential programme. The
UK’s Future Force 2025 appears
to lack capability, particularly
anti-armour assets and has yet
to find a convincing solution to
the pressing issue of its ageing
Challenger 2.
Russia, with a 3.55% CAGR
and USD236.5 billion forecast, is
focused on three new armoured
fighting vehicle families – the
Armata, the Kurganets-25 and
the Bumerang. The Armata
(USD3.6 billion) is the heavy
tracked combat system,
including the T-14 MBT and T-15
heavy IFV. The Kurganets-25
(USD3.9 billion) is the mediumweight tracked combat system,
including an APC and IFV. The
Bumerang (USD2.5 billion) is
the 8×8 wheeled AFV system.
Despite the lack of clarity, what
is clear is that Russia is very
committed to the wholesale
replacement of the entire
spectrum of AFV platforms with
high capability systems that
have given a number of Western
users’ serious concern over their
own capabilities.
Germany has a negative
-0.5% CAGR and a forecast
of USD223.2 billion, with
significant programmes
including the Puma IFV at
(USD4.2 billion) and Boxer
MRAV with approximately
USD1.2 billion forecast. The
continued production of Leopard
2’s forecast at USD1 billion
focuses on upgrades to the A7/8
variants. The country has also
bought back 100 used Leopard
2s from industry, which will
be modernised. Germany has

France has a negative -6.3%

of USD287 billion led by the
EBRC Jaguar (USD1.2 billion).
This programme is a new 6×6
armoured reconnaissance
platform, replacing existing
AMX-10RC and ERC-90
Sagaie platforms in service.
The Véhicule Blindé Multirole
(VBMR) Griffon, USD1.4 billion,
will come in two versions, heavy
and light, replacing existing VAB
systems. The Leclerc (USD2.5
billion) is being modernised
along with the Leclerc-based
DCL (Dépanneur de Char

a mature domestic industrial
base and is capable of supplying
all anticipated requirements.
The recent merger of Nexter and
KMW will strengthen France’s
vehicle capabilities significantly.
MAJOR DEFENCE
MARKETS
France
France is a political and
economic heavyweight within the
European Union, and the bloc’s
second-largest defence market.
It has also been an engine of
European integration in general
and a strong proponent of
greater intra-community defence
and security co-operation.
The country has frequently
looked to defend national
defence industries in order to
safeguard jobs and capabilities.
55
w
SEA
To this end, procurement
decisions have in the past
frequently favoured national
champions.
France has been willing to
participate in multinational
European procurement
programmes (and has been
a vocal advocate of intracommunity industrial
consolidation), but only so far
as activities have benefited local
interests.
It should also be noted that
while the French procurement
budget is one of the largest
in Europe (second only to the
UK’s), the majority of funds over
the current spending review
period (2014-19) are allocated
to either legacy large-scale
procurement programmes such
as the ongoing acquisition of
Rafale multirole combat aircraft
or the sustainment of the
national nuclear deterrent. The
latter was to account for a fifth of
the equipment budget over the
five years to 2019.
France possesses a highly
developed and technically
sophisticated defence industry
capable of independently
producing the most advanced
and complex systems. It is one
of the few countries in the world
that can boast a full spectrum
of capabilities in all military
and security domains, including
the design and development of
nuclear systems.
The defence sector in France
is vast. In its broadest sense,
the sector employs more than
165,000 people in 5,000
companies across the country.
The French state claims that
French defence industrial
activity accounts for 25% of the
EU total. France has developed
and maintained the industrial
capability and scale to be
Sho
LAND
virtually autonomous for the
provision of defence materiel.
France has a strong position
too in the global defence market
(it achieved orders of EUR8.06
billion and EUR16 billion in
2014 and 2015 respectively, and
consistently ranks around the
top of European countries).
In contrast to most other firsttier defence manufacturers such
as the UK and US, the French
state holds major shareholdings
in the prime contractors.
Examples are land systems group
Nexter (100%); Safran (18%);
DCNS (63%); Thales (26%); and
Airbus Group (formerly EADS
– 12%). It should be noted that
the stake in Nexter will in effect
change as a result of the merger
between Nexter and KraussMaffei Wegmann of Germany
that completed in December
2015. The French state has a half
share in the combined venture.
Defence spending
Military investment returned to
a positive trajectory in 2015 as
a result of improved economic
conditions, and the terrorist
attacks against Paris during
the year added an additional
impetus.
French Defence Minister
Jean-Yves Le Drian presented
France’s six-year defence funding
programme, the Projet de Loi de
Programmation Militaire (LPM)
2014-2019, on 2 August 2013.
The LPM was to see core
defence spending remain static
in nominal terms from 2013-16
at EUR31.38 billion (USD42
billion) a year, rising slightly
to EUR31.56 billion in 2017,
EUR31.78 billion in 2018 and
finally EUR32.51 billion in 2019.
Static expenditure during
the early years of the LPM was
confirmed by the Projet de
Loi de Finances 2015, which
was released in October 2014.
Expenditure for 2015 was static
in nominal terms.
A change of direction was
apparent from April 2015,
however, with the announcement
by President François Hollande
that French defence spending
would increase by EUR3.9
billion over the 2016-19 period,
reversing the slide of the
previously announced budget
plans and bringing the core
French defence budget up to
EUR35 billion.
It was notable too that the
2015 budget was ring-fenced
from broader government
austerity cuts.
w
SEA
The 2016 draft budget,
released in September 2015, was
in line with this new funding
plan and allocated EUR32 billion
to core defence with an extra
EUR8 billion spent on pensions.
The budget also pledged to
create 2,300 more jobs at the
MoD rather than enact personnel
reductions of 7,500 as planned.
Land sector indigenous
industry
France has a broad and deep
industrial capability when it
comes to ground forces. It
is capable of designing and
manufacturing systems from the
smallest 4×4 all-terrain vehicles
to 155 mm artillery systems to
main battle tanks, sourcing most
of the construction materials
and subsystems from France
itself. There has been an element
of consolidation in the land
sector in recent years, placing
most ‘armoured’ vehicle and
artillery manufacture in the
hands of Nexter. Renault Trucks
Defense (owned by Volvo) is
heavily involved in the tactical
mobility market, developing a
suite of light, medium and heavy
wheeled vehicles following its
acquisition of Panhard. Nexter in
effect merged with Krauss-Maffei
Wegmann of Germany from
December 2015.
UK
The UK is Europe’s largest
defence market (despite austeritydriven spending cuts in recent
years), and arguably one of the
most open to foreign entrants.
The country’s defence industrial
base, meanwhile, boasts worldclass capabilities across most
domains and is a major force in
global export markets.
UK defence procurement
policies and procedures have

Sho
LAND
been subject to a prolonged
period of reform and refinement
in order to simplify processes,
improve accountability and to
increase efficiency.
The reform process was set
in motion by the Review of
Acquisition for the Secretary
of State for Defence report of
2009, developed by the Defence
Reform: An Independent
Report into the Structure and
Management of the Ministry of
Defence of 2011, and solidified
by the UK Defence Reform Act
of 2014.
UK defence procurement
practices are currently shaped
by the Acquisition System
Operating Model (ASOP), which
has been in place since April
2015.
Defence procurement is
transparent and subject to
civilian oversight from the
government, Parliament and
independent bodies such as the
National Audit Office. However,
almost half of the Ministry of
Defence’s contracts are awarded
on a non-competitive (solesource) basis and in 2014 the
government introduced a new
body (the sole-source regulations
office, SSRO) to ensure it was
getting value for money.
The UK’s Defence Equipment
and Support (DE&S – the
national military procurement
body) has also been undergoing
a period of major change,
having been converted into
a commercially supported
‘bespoke central government
trading entity’ in 2014 in an
attempt to improve the efficacy
of the equipment procurement
process.
The UK defence and security
industries directly employ
215,000 people (and support
a further 150,000 jobs) and

Supacat is a UK-based manufacturer of small armoured and high-mobility vehicles (Photo: IHS/Patrick Allen)
have a combined turnover of
around GBP30 billion (2014:
UK government figures).
Exports typically account for
just over a third of output by
turnover.
The UK has a wide and deep
range of defence industrial
capabilities, which encompass
indigenous world-leaders
such as BAE Systems and
Rolls-Royce and the extensive
capabilities of foreign-owned
organisations such as Thales
and Finmeccanica, which have a
significant presence in the UK.
Defence spending
The UK has the largest defence
budget in the EU at GBP41.4
billion (USD61.7 billion) as of
2016; a figure equivalent to 2%
of GDP.
Military investment had been
on a steep downward trajectory
from 2010 as a result of the
economic challenges facing the
country, although expenditure
has now stabilised and steady
real growth is forecast for the
remainder of the decade.
The UK outlined in the
Strategic Defence and Security
Review (SDSR) of 2015
investment of GBP178 billion
on equipment procurement and
support for the decade to 2025.
It should be noted that the UK
is only one of three EU countries
within NATO to meet the NATO
spending threshold of 2% of
GDP as of 2016 (the others are
Estonia and Poland). The UK
government committed in July
2015 to maintaining its defence
budget at 2% of GDP until at
least 2019-20 and to increase
spending each year in real terms.
Land sector indigenous
industry
The UK does not currently have a
significant, UK-owned and based
armour capability. BAE Systems
can produce wheeled and tracked
armour systems; however,
manufacturing facilities are
located in Sweden and the US
57
as the company’s construction
and development capabilities in
the UK atrophied over the past
decade.
BAE Systems retains the
ability to upgrade its Challenger
2 MBT in the UK. US-owned
General Dynamics and Lockheed
Martin are delivering the UK’s
Scout SV (now Ajax – formerly
part of the Future Rapid Effects
System (FRES) programme) and
Warrior Capability Sustainment
Programme from UK facilities.
Beyond these companies,
Supacat is a UK-based
manufacturer of small armoured
and high-mobility vehicles.
WFEL, meanwhile, is a UK headquartered company known for
its tactical bridging solutions. It
supplies 39 armed forces around
the world. It has been owned
by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann of
Germany since 2012.
