Issue 6 • 2012 SP’S MAI 3 SP’s EXCLUsiVES By SP’s Special Correspondent HELINA air-launched ATGM begins trials he air-launched version of India’s Nag anti-armour missile, HELINA (helicopter-launched Nag) is set to begin a crucial round of firing trials towards establishing its capabilities as a Tpotent anti-tank weapon. The missile is currently ready to be tested from a special ground launcher for the lock-on after launch (LOAL) firing mode and air launches from a HAL Dhruv Mk.2, the platform it is ultimately intended for, apart from the light combat helicopter. The ground tests are to take place in Rajasthan shortly, following recent ground tests near Pune. A single firing test has been carried out from a Dhruv, though guided tests will take place only towards late 2012 when the HELINA fire control system is fully integrated with the Dhruv Mk.3 WSI, recently christened Rudra. Future tests will all take place in Pokhran. The HELINA is considered one of the most important smart weapons being developed and tested at present, considering the team is building a “miniaturised inertial navigation package” to deep interest in a short stand-off strike weapon. The Defence enhance the existing weapon without adding weight or too much Research & Development Laboratory (DRDL) plans to extend the cost. The project director has also revealed that a feasibility study range of the HELINA from 7-km at present to a more than 20-km is officially on to integrate the HELINA onto the Rustom-H MALE range strike weapon for combat aircraft and helicopters.

    Mine-protected Transports 2013 armada INTERNATIONAL: The trusted source for defence technology information since 1976 To bridge the gap between its Cobra light armoured vehicle and its IFVs Otokar of Turkey developed a mine-resistant vehicle named Kaya. (Otokar) MINE-PROTECTED TRANSPORTS: WHat LIES AHEAD? One of the unanswered questions for most military planners is what will happen after Afghanistan. The Second Gulf War, or to be more precise the “follow-on stabilisation effort”, had led to a new category of vehicle, namely the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected, or Mrap as it became universally known. As this definition is very much US-related we prefer that of “mine-protected vehicles”, which includes the notion of protection against improvised explosive devices, which became the main risk for troops moving in theatre.

  • Armoured Vehicles Global Inventories 2016-17 Introduction
    ARMOURED VEHICLES GLOBAL INVENTORIES 2016-17 INTRODUCTION As detailed in Defence IQ’s 6th annual Global Armoured Vehicles Market Report (2017), the armoured vehicles market is projected to reach $15.17 billion in 2017. According to the report’s proprietary survey data, confidence in the global armoured vehicle market has rebounded after a temporary downturn, underpinned by steadily rising defence budgets, new contract opportunities and recent big ticket government investments. In addition to survey data and analysis the report also uncovered a continued demand for landmine/IED protection worldwide and growing demand for Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs) and Light Protected Vehicles. Among the global community, there are also seen increasing dangers of directed energy and other types of anti-vehicles systems that demand innovative and cost-effective solutions as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have risen in the past year as the world’s focal countries for armoured vehicles business. This follow-on report details global vehicle inventories – in easy-to-read table format – in so far as it is possible to calculate. Of course, some nations and regions are less transparent than others about the exact units stocked in their military vehicle fleets, but we hope the information enclosed can help readers garner a greater understanding of the current situation for end-users. This report has been issued ahead of the 17th Annual International Armoured Vehicles conference, taking place in London, UK, on 23-26 January. A registration form can be found at www.internationalarmouredvehicles.com. Need more information? Contact us: +44 (0) 20 7036 1300 Email:[email protected] Credit: nimr.ae 2 MARKET SUMMARY The market for armoured vehicles continues to be buoyant, with the Asia-Pacific region predicted to be the major growth area over the next 10 years.

Designed to meet the challenges of operating in a counterinsurgency environment, the MRAP has taken survivability to a new level. Unlike other vehicles in the US inventory, the MRAP does not have a common vehicle design. There are several vendors, each with their own unique platform. BAE Systems, Navistar International, Force Protection Inc, Oshkosh, and other defense/automotive companies have produced MRAPs for the US Military. Each of these companies manufactured the MRAP according to one of three classifications set by US Department of Defense (DOD): Category I, Category II, and Category III.
