Every two years, EUROSATORY attracts military and industry experts in addition to interested private individuals alike to Paris to find out about new trends and technical developments at the world’s largest defence technology trade fair. Reason enough for the German medium-sized military vehicle manufacturer FFG (Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft GmbH) to present several innovative armoured vehicles ‘live’ again this year. One of these is the Armoured Combat Support Vehicle (ACSV) G5, which offers armed forces flexible support on the battlefield, covering a wide range of deployment options through the use of different mission modules. This multi-role vehicle was designed from scratch with the aim of deploying a modular payload on a highly protected and mobile vehicle base. By utilising ISO container industry standards, the modules used can be exchanged within a few hours in order to assign the vehicle to new applications, making the ACSV G5 flexible for a wide range of tasks. The electronic concept of the vehicle follows the NATO Generic Vehicle Architecture (NGVA) and fulfils extremely high requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and data security thanks to consistent red/black network separation. In addition, a CAN-bus system enables rapid data exchange between the individual vehicle components and allows faults to be analysed quickly, if necessary.Conceptually, the ACSV G5 combines exceptionally effective mine protection with a robust design, while MOTS and COTS products in particular are used in production to the greatest extent possible. As a result, it does not only represent a variable and reliable vehicle solution, but moreover offers a particularly good price-performance ratio over its entire life cycle, thanks to its simple maintenance and servicing concept, too. #military #defense #defence #militaryleak https://lnkd.in/gfKgXNza

C-295 MILITARY TRANSPORT AIRCRAFT: IMPACT ON INDIA’S DEFENCE AND AEROSPACE COMPLEX Author Air Vice Marshal Surya Narayana Murti VSM (Retd) The new Tata Aircraft Complex in Vadodara marks India’s first private Final Assembly Line (FAL) for military aircraft, managed by Tata Advanced Systems Ltd (TASL) in #collaboration with Airbus Defence. This facility will assemble, test, and maintain C-295 aircraft to replace India’s ageing AVRO fleet, with 16 units from Spain and 40 assembled in India by 2031. With advanced features like short take-off capability and #indigenous #electronic #warfare #systems, the C-295 suits varied tactical missions. This #project represents a transformative step for India’s #aerospace manufacturing and could lead to further defense collaborations, enhancing India’s private sector MRO capabilities. https://lnkd.in/gf_rbR_a

"Italy’s Leonardo and Germany’s Rheinmetall agreed to establish a joint venture for the development and production of combat vehicles, targeting potential orders of up to 50 billion euros ($54.55 billion)." "The creation of the new company, Leonardo Rheinmetall Military Vehicles [LRMV], underscores growing demand for military hardware in Europe amid high geopolitical tensions." "LRMV’s first contracts for tanks and infantry fighting vehicles based on Rheinmetall’s Panther and Lynx models...are expected to be with the Italian government." "The two defense groups, which will be equal partners in the joint venture, expect LRMV to report between 2 billion and 4 billion euros in annual revenue after a ramp-up phase..." "The joint venture—which the companies aim to establish by the first quarter of next year, subject to regulatory approvals—will have its legal headquarters in Rome and an operational office in La Spezia." "Rheinmetall and Leonardo identified a gap in the combat tanks market until 2040-45, when a new European heavy tank--the Main Ground Combat System developed by a Franco-German program--will reach the market. LRMV hopes to outcompete future models of the Leopard tank, produced by the Franco-German joint venture KNDS, with a fully digital design." "While the joint venture is mainly aimed at the Italian market, [Rheinmetall] said the partnership would also target other nations that are in need of modernizing their combat systems." #Leonardo #Rheinmetall #LRMV #WSJ

Yesterday, the Estonian Aviation Academy was visited by a delegation from the Estonian Military Academy, led by Rector Viktor Kalnitski. During the meeting, the academies’ long-standing collaboration in education as well as research and development was discussed. It was noted that national defence is becoming increasingly technology-driven, and unmanned aviation, along with related systems, holds significant and growing potential for enhancing defence capabilities. The importance of ensuring a pipeline of top-tier specialists for the operation and maintenance of modern weapon systems was also emphasised. Both institutions share a common vision of the critical role engineering plays in supporting both the aviation and defence sectors. The Estonian Aviation Academy expressed its readiness to provide sector-specific support in establishing a pilot training organisation for the Estonian Defence Forces, in line with the goal of ensuring certified organisations in Estonia comply with European aviation standards. Opportunities for closer cooperation between research groups were explored, and further information exchange was agreed upon. 🤝 #collaboration
