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 Download the next issue tomorrow from 6am with THE EUROSATORY APP at www.eurosatory.com or visit www.janes.com/eurosatory 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. 3 LMV2, un 4x4 fruit des RETEX de 15 pays clients page 26 Still going strong: celebrating 75 years of the Jeep page 28 B-SAVED, l’intelligence contre les menaces terrestres page 32 VBCI CREATING NEW REFERENCES IN DEFENSE I WWW.NEXTER-GROUP.COM The 8x8 combat proven reference UNRIVALLED PROTECTION, FIREPOWER, MOBILITY AND LOGISTIC SUPPORT ARE THE KEY ASSETS OF THE VBCI.

D210, outdoor area www.detectandprotect.org Sho LAND ➔ CHRISTOPHER F FOSS 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. Packing a punch More Orbiters Israeli UAV house Aeronautics (Hall 6, Stand D732) is in the final stages of developing the latest member of its Orbiter family of UAVs. Orbiter 4 is based on the aerodynamic structure of the successful Orbiter 3 small w 5 Sho LAND w SEA Step change in capability Air surve ➔ 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 ➔ DAVID DONALD Thales has unveiled the latest member of its Ground Master air defence radar family. Drawing on technology from the larger Ground Master 200 and 400 radars, the Ground Master 60 multimission radar offers exceptional range in a fully mobile system that provides forces with a search on-the-move air picture capability. Ground Master 60 is a selfcontained radar system packaged with its own generator and air conditioning. The unit can mobility. The high level of 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 The Survivability Experts PROTECTING THOSE WHO PROTECT US $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. Self-propelle Huta Stalowa Wola (HSW) (part of the Polish Defence Group) (Hall 5, B801) has been awarded a contract to supply the Polish Army with 64 Rak 120mm 24-calibre M120K self-propelled mortar systems and 32 all-wheel drive command post vehicles, all of which will be based on the Rosomak (8x8) platform. The Rosomak is the Finnish Patria armoured modular vehicle (AMV), which is manufactured Sho LAND w SEA veillance on the move 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. family of 120mm ammunition.

The Polish production line is supplying a quantity of AMV/Rosomak to the United Arab Emirates to meet an urgent operational requirement. The M120K is based on a modified Rosomak vehicle. On the roof towards the rear is a turret-mounted 120mm breechloaded mortar. This is provided with 20 rounds of ready-use ammunition, with an additional 26 rounds being carried in the hull. This is laid onto the target using a computerised fire control system, which is linked to the TALIN inertial navigation system, global positioning system and an odometer. Maximum range depends on the projectile/charge combination, but is typically 7,000m with standard ammunition, and will be increased to 10,000m with a new New Protection Technologies Live-Shooting Demonstrations Today 11:00 and 15:00 [email protected] | www.ibd-deisenroth.de Hall 6 No. K 567 th o o B vilion German Pa Sho LAND w SEA Un nouvel acteur sur le marché de la simulation ➔ PAR FRÉDÉRIC LERT Agueris (France) est née en 2015 du rapprochement de deux acteurs historiques de la simulation terrestre, Silkan et CMI Defence.

Derived from the full-size 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 B A 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. 21st Century Border Security LONG-RANGE SURVEILLANCE 15 Visit us at EUROSATORY 2016, Stand-No.: A520 n BOXER IF V Extraordinary firepower in combination with a large, highly protected crew compartment Unique modularity: interchangeable Mission Modules – e.g. armoured personnel carrier to mobile gun platform Future growth potential for further applications – highest payload in class Modular protection design against all kinds of mines, IED and ballistic threats according to actual mission request Extreme mobility in heavy terrain – under all conditions Superiority due to fire power – easy integration of remote controlled or manned turrets due to modular design PROTECTS YOUR MISSION | www.kmweg.com | Sho LAND i On track for Ajax ➔ CHRISTOPHER F FOSS Following extensive trials, General Dynamics European Land Systems Santa Bárbara Sistemas has awarded Cook Defence Systems (Hall 5, Stand LK657) a contract worth about £30 million to supply its latest TR40 505FB track system for installation on the Ajax reconnaissance version of the British Army Specialist Vehicle – Scout family of tracked vehicles.

I am pleased we can help deliver the very best for the British Army.” Specialist Vehicle – Scout is a further development of the ASCOD (Austrian Spanish Cooperative Development) infantry fighting vehicle in service with Austria (as the Ulan) and Spain (as the Pizarro) and these are fitted with Defence Service Tracks (previously Diehl). This is the second major order won by Cook Defence Systems: in late 2015, the UK Ministry of Defence awarded a £70 million four-year contract to the company under which it will supply track systems to the British Army for currently deployed vehicles. The TR40 505FB track uses the same patented ‘fastlock’ end connector system as the TR60 track system for the Challenger 2, Leopard 2 and M1 Abrams main battle tanks. In addition, the TR40 505FB double-pin track has a number of features specifically designed to mitigate the crew’s exposure to noise and vibration and therefore reduce the overall acoustic signature, which is essential for the Ajax reconnaissance mission.

Ahead of the formal qualification MBDA has launched the equipment serial production so that delivery can start in mid-2017 with an operational capability the same year. The French Army has ordered 400 MMP firing posts and 2,850 missiles under a contract placed in December 2013, as replacement for the currently deployed MBDA MILAN (maximum range 2,000m), Lockheed Martin/Raytheon Javelin (2,500m) and MBDA w SEA 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.

Sho LAND Clearing the way 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 30 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.

The range of Samel-90 radio jammers on display comprise manpack, portable and stationary units, designed to protect against remote-controlled improvised explosive devices (IEDs) aimed at individuals or a group of moving objects, people or other small targets. According to the company’s Artur Sikorski, the vehicle-mounted radio jammer is similarly intended for protection against radio frequency-controlled IEDs or similar devices. An innovative artillery radio jammer is delivered by artillery rounds in 122mm, 130mm, 152mm and 155mm calibres into the area to be jammed. It is intended to create barrage jamming in the enemy’s tactical control units operating in the HF and VHF 1.5-120MHz frequency bands.

This integration will enable command and control (C2) and video downlinks from the sUAS into a Wave Relay MANET. With Wave Relay now integrated, the Aeryon SkyRanger offers a powerful set of new capabilities to military, public safety, and commercial UAV operators, replacing hitherto used WiFi (or similar) networking standards to deliver line-of-sight connections from ground control station (GCS) to aircraft. New capabilities include ‘over the hill’ communication links to a range of 2+ miles (3+km) between ground-based teams, and an extension to the operational range of the aircraft. There is also no longer a need for a dedicated base station, adding more flexibility with less equipment. The VTOL SkyRanger sUAS has an endurance of up to 50 minutes with payload, and can tolerate sustained winds of 40mph (65km/h) and gusts of 55mph (90km/h). Sho LAND w SEA 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.

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.

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.

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, fog and rain.

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 100 80 60 40 20 0 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2025 Number of smart cities worldwide, as per IHS Technology’s definition of a ‘smart city’ and dysfunctional American polity, the restive, but extant, independence movement in Scotland, and enduring conflict in Ukraine. 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. Globalisation; the information revolution; proliferation of dual-use technologies and advanced weapons; poor/corrupt governance; ossified institutions; demographics; population and resource issues (the global population is approximately 7.5 billion people, nearly 5 billion more than just a century ago); environmental strain; ethnic, historic and religious nationalism; and retrenched responses to modernity are all colluding to create disconnects between centres and peripheries; separate historical and cultural allegiances from state allegiances; and drive migration both across borders and into cities. 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. Urbanisation The global trend towards urbanisation is one of the 52 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.

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. Russia’s Armata T-14 MBT (Photo: IHS/Christopher F Foss) 54 w SEA 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 opelle Sho LAND 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 led and commanding End user countries The UK’s 7.7% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) and market value of USD27.5 billion are led by procurement of the Ajax (formerly the FRES SV) valued at USD7.1 billion for 589 vehicles to form the core of the UK’s new Strike Brigades. The mechanised infantry vehicle’s (MIV) USD1 billion forecast is driven by a MOTS 8×8 AFV requirement. Valued at USD1.2 billion, the MRV-P seeks a new protected a very mature industrial base and a wide range of products, from logistic and utility vehicles through to high-end AFVs, with high demand worldwide. A recent example is Germany’s effort to accelerate development of a Leopard 2 replacement with France. France has a negative -6.3% CAGR and a market forecast 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 Leclerc) ARV. France also enjoys 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 Rafale multirole combat aircraft (Photo: IHS/Patrick Allen) 56 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 w SEA 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.
