But the EU Cannot Defend Europe While the appearance of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg at the Berlaymont, the headquar- ters of the EU Commission, in December 2020 was still considered 'historic', such personal meetings between the Head of the Alliance and the EU institutions are now becoming routine. On 26 Febru- ary, Stoltenberg met with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the President of the European Council, Charles Michel, at the Justus Lipsius building, the seat of the European Council, to attend the video conference of the EU heads of state and government. His par- ticipation was more than opportune, as the regular review of the security and defence policy agenda since 2012 was being discussed. Charles Michel began by emphasising that the EU wanted to "act more strategically" and increase its "capacity to act autonomously". At the same time, he said that it wanted to further deepen partnerships, precisely by reviving the dialogue with the Biden administra- tion in Washington on security and defence issues.

  • 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?

    Zeszyty Naukowe SGSP 2018, Nr 65 (TOM 2)/1/2018 dr inż. Kazimierz Kowalski Katedra Logistyki Wydział Zarządzania Akademia Wojsk Lądowych we Wrocławiu Automatyczne systemy przeciwpożarowe w wojskowych pojazdach bojowych1 Abstrakt W artykule zaprezentowano przegląd automatycznych systemów przeciwpo- żarowych stosowanych w aktualnie eksploatowanych przez Wojska Lądowe Sił Zbrojnych RP pojazdach bojowych. Zwrócono uwagę na odmienność architektury automatycznych systemów przeciwpożarowych wojskowych pojazdów bojowych „starej” i „nowej” generacji, w ujęciu ochrony przeciwpożarowej jednoobszarowej (przedział napędowy), jak i ochrony przeciwwybuchowej i przeciwpożarowej całej przestrzeni wewnętrznej pojazdu (przedział bojowy, desantowy i napędowy). Wska- zano również problematykę stosowania środków gaśniczych w tych systemach oraz aspekt rozwojowy w odniesieniu do modernizacji wojskowych pojazdów bojowych. Wspomniano również, ze względów historycznych, o pierwszych zastosowaniach wymienionych systemów w czołgach serii T-55. Słowa kluczowe: automatyczne systemy przeciwpożarowe, wojskowe pojazdy bojowe Automatic Fire Protection Systems for Military Combat Vehicles Abstract An overview of the automatic fire protection systems used in the currently used combat military vehicles of the Polish Armed Forces have been presented. The attention 1 Artykuł opracowany w ramach projektu nr 91-WZA-57-DzS finansowanego w ramach działalności statutowej AWL pod tytułem: „Zarządzanie cyklem życia pojazdów wojsk lądowych”. 24 Kazimierz Kowalski was paid to the different design of the automatic fire protection systems of the ‘old’ and ‘new’ generation of military vehicles. It deals with a single firefighting, one-space system (drive compartment) as well as with an anti-explosive protection and firefighting of the entire interior space of the vehicle (combat compartment and crew compartment). The issue of the use of extinguishing agents in these systems and the developmental aspect of combat military vehicles upgrading has also been mentioned.
