The challenge here is to manage and reduce the volume of data needed about the unpredictable non-linear environment around the vehicle to assure effective, safe and predictable performance At DSEi 2019 the world leading Special Forces without having to import and export masses of data from vehicle developer, Supacat, is unveiling its it”, notes Austen.

Supacat parent, SC Group. “It is in Supacat’s DNA to tailor its platforms and solutions to each customer’s requirements. Our approach uses a common electric drivetrain, each of which can be customised through different powering options depending on mission, range, payload and operating environment. For example, a customer may have a mission profile with a mixture of on road and off road operations, with a need for silent operation for a percentage of time – the proportion of these components will determine whether series or parallel hybrid options are employed or if full electric propulsion is needed. As battery or fuel cell technology advances and diesel engine development responds to legislation, these Exhibitions options will inevitably change and we must provide Supacat, Rheinmetall and SCISYS vehicle architectures that can accommodate such partnership showcases new High evolution”, Austen comments.

    EYE ON INDUSTRY 4CANSOFCOM: Next Generation Fighting Vehicle – DEW Engineering Teams with Supacat by Greg Burton, DEW Engineering, Ottawa, Canada IN JULY 2019, the Department of National Defence (DND) announced the intention to procure approximate- ly 55 to 75 Next Generation Fighting Vehicles (NGFV) to replace the existing High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWV). The HMMWV are used by the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM) for expeditionary operations. Formal industry engagement commenced with a Letter of Interest (LOI) and Request for Information (RFI) about the High Level Mandatory Requirements (HLMR) that had been developed for the new NGFV. The HLMR categories included survivability, lethality, mobility, electrical architecture, durability and sustain- ability, transportability, interoperability and reliability.

  • Leading Defence Companies Partner for FRES Programme
    Fusion Third Floor 25 Templar Avenue Farnborough, GU14 6FE United Kingdom A Finmeccanica Company Farnborough, 4-09-2007 Leading defence companies partner for FRES programme A group of major defence companies has today announced their teaming arrangement to compete for the System of Systems Integrator (SOSI) role on the UK Ministry of Defence’s Future Rapid Effect System (FRES) vehicle programme. Their combined commitment is reflected in their joint response to the MoD’s recently issued Pre-Qualification Questionnaire for the FRES SOSI Operating through Fusion and led by Finmeccanica, the team – Finmeccanica, MBDA, General Dynamics UK and BAE Systems - will seek to be awarded the FRES SOSI role. If selected, it will provide its wealth of FRES SOSI-related expertise to work in partnership with the UK MoD to ensure effective delivery of the FRES capability. In this role, Fusion would reinforce the MoD in achieving operational coherence with both the British Army’s existing armoured fighting vehicles fleet and other networked defence assets at the time of initial FRES fielding, sustaining coherence through life. The four companies would apply their proven UK based competence from complex programmes to achieve rapid insertion of effective technology from the MoD’s supply base to ensure battle winning capability for our armed forces deployed in operations. “Each team member contributes to the balance of skills required for a strong systems integrator role on this major program and Fusion will be demonstrably independent of individual suppliers” says Sir Kevin Tebbit, Chairman of Finmeccanica UK. “Our strategic objective is to bring this expertise to bear, in full partnership with the UK Ministry of Defence and the potential supply chain, to ensure a through- life response to the requirement which is low risk, provides value for money and is compliant with the Defence Industrial Strategy.” About Fusion Led by Finmeccanica, Fusion offers the best in integration skills, programme management expertise and knowledge of synthetic environments needed for the FRES programme.
