  • Completes a Decisive Step Towards Further Integration Amsterdam, 14Th
    KNDS (Amsterdam/The Netherlands) completes a decisive step towards further integration Amsterdam, 14th December 2020 Five years after the merger of Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (Munich, Germany) and Nexter Systems (Versailles, France) under the joint holding KNDS, the Group’s governance is being restructured. With this new structure, the owners of the Franco- German manufacturer of military land systems – the French state holding company GIAT Industries and the German family-owned company Wegmann & Co GmbH – are continuing on the path they forged in 2015: advancing in defined milestones towards the creation of a leader in its field. The shareholders have decided to streamline the governance structure by establishing a single board of directors replacing the existing supervisory and management boards. After a first phase where the two subsidiaries got to know each other under the management of two co-CEOS and started building the company, it is time now to enter into the next phase of integration and development. The new structure will enable more efficient and coherent management of the KNDS companies and optimum leveraging of their potential and synergies. The future board of directors of KNDS will comprise ten members. Nine members will be external appointees without any direct operational responsibilities within KNDS. The tenth member will be the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of KNDS. Unanimously, the shareholders have appointed Frank Haun to assume this role. Frank Haun has served as CEO of Krauss-Maffei Wegmann since 2003. He played a crucial role in designing and building KNDS in 2015 and has been instrumental in the success of the company since 2015 as Co-CEO.

  • Armement Terrestre Français : « Il Est Grand Temps (De Continuer) D'agir
    1 Armement terrestre français : « il est grand temps (de continuer) d’agir ! » Cédric Paulin, Chargé de recherche (29 mai 2006) Il est courant, en France, d’évoquer un secteur terrestre européen morcelé et éclaté par rapport à d’autres secteurs comme l’aéronautique, les missiles ou le spatial. C’est une erreur. Les grandes manœuvres ont commencé depuis 1998 et sont en partie abouties autour du britannique BAE Systems et de l’américain General Dynamics1. Si les restructurations européennes n’ont pas commencé, c’est donc surtout, a priori, pour le secteur industriel français (et allemand, dans une mesure différente cependant2). Dès 2003, cette situation a été soulignée, largement à partir de l’expérience de GIAT Industries : « Dans le domaine de l’armement terrestre, le mouvement de consolidation à l’échelle européenne a été largement entamé mais devrait se poursuivre face à la baisse constante des dépenses militaires en Europe dans ce secteur. GIAT Industries en a été exclu jusqu’à présent du fait de sa situation financière »3. A la mi-2005, la perspective d’une participation de GIAT Industries aux restructurations européennes était repoussée à la fin 2006 par la ministre de la Défense, Michèle Alliot-Marie4. De toute évidence, l’année 2006 est donc cruciale pour GIAT Industries : il s’agit de consolider son assainissement interne et d’aboutir dans la recherche 1 Un article sur le paysage industriel de l’armement terrestre en Europe est à paraître dans la Lettre de l’IPSE, n° 86, juin/juillet 2006, (cf. prochainement sur www.frstrategie.org). 2 Une première vague de restructurations nationales a été conduite vers 2000-2003 aboutissant à Krauss-Maffei Wegmann et Rheinmetall, mais il existe encore un grand nombre de sites industriels non restructurés, y compris au sein de ces deux entreprises et comparativement aux efforts de GIAT Industries.

  • World of Wheels Country Entry
    BELGIUM Flag description: three equal vertical bands of black (hoist side), yellow, and red note: the design was based on the flag of France. Background: Belgium became independent from the Neth- erlands in 1830; it was occupied by Germany during World Wars I and II. It has prospered in the past half century as a modern, technologically advanced European state and mem- ber of NATO and the EU. Tensions between the Dutch- speaking Flemish of the north and the French-speaking Wal- loon of the south have led in recent years to constitutional amendments granting these regions formal recognition and autonomy. Geography Belgium. Location: Western Europe, bordering the North Sea, between France and the Netherlands. Area: total: 30,528 sq. km. Area - comparative: about the size of Maryland. Land boundaries: total: 1,385 km. Border coun- tries: France 620 km, Germany 167 km, Luxembourg 148 km, Netherlands 450 km. Coastline: 66.5 km. Climate: tem- perate; mild winters, cool summers; rainy, humid, cloudy. Terrain: flat coastal plains in northwest, central rolling hills, rugged mountains of Ardennes Forest in southeast. Natural resources: construction materials, silica sand, carbonate. Natural hazards: flooding is a threat along rivers and in areas of reclaimed coastal land, protected from the sea by concrete dikes. Environment - current issues: the environment is exposed to intense pressures from human activities: urbanization, dense transportation network, industry, extensive anim- al breeding and crop cultivation; air and water pollution also have repercussions for neighboring coun- tries; uncertainties regarding federal and regional responsibilities (now resolved) have slowed pro- gress in tackling environmental challenges.

The development and testing process was long, incloved, and troubled, and deliveries did not begin until 2005. The Bushmaster is based on a design originally conceived by the Irish company of Timoney; considerable portions of the Bushmaster are therefore manufactured under a licensing agreement with Timoney, though production is undertaken wholly in Australia. ADI began the part of the design process done in Australia, but production later passed to Thales Australia, who also developed several variants. (Virtually all of these variants differ primarily in internal arrangements and equipment; externally, almost all of the different versions differ little from each other.) The primary users of the Bushmaster are the Australian Army and Air Force, but it is also used by the Dutch Army and British Army.
