  • 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.

Ilman hyvin suo- ritettua taustatyötä, investoinnista voi pitkällä aikavälillä muodostua odotettua kalliimpi. Yleisten säästöpaineiden takia panssaroitujen ajoneuvojen elinkaarikustannusten minimointi on tulevaisuudessa erittäin tärkeää. Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli löytää keinoja panssaroitujen ajoneuvojen elinkaarikustannusten minimointiin. Tutkimus toteutettiin yhteistyössä Patria Land Systems Oy:n kanssa. Tutkimus rajattiin käsittelemään Puolustusvoimien käytössä ole- via ja Patrian valmistamia panssaroituja ajoneuvoja. Tutkimuksen aineisto muodostettiin kirjallisuuslähteiden, asiakirjalähteiden ja Internet- lähteiden avulla. Kirjallisia lähteitä täydennettiin asiantuntijahaastatteluilla. Haastateltavat valittiin Puolustusvoimista ja Patrialta asiantuntijuuden perusteella. Tutkimusmenetelminä käytettiin aineistolähtöistä analyysiä ja asiantuntijahaastattelua.

  • Land Combat Systems Industry
    Spring 2006 Industry Study Final Report Land Combat Systems Industry The Industrial College of the Armed Forces National Defense University Fort McNair, Washington DC, 20319-5062 i LAND COMBAT SYSTEMS 2006 ABSTRACT: Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) is proving--once again--the relevance of robust Land Combat Systems (LCS) to the success of our nation's war efforts and the survivability of our troops. Most of today's land combat systems are working well in missions for which they were not originally envisioned. Still, the LCS industry is undergoing notable change in multiple areas. First, systems like the Future Combat System (FCS) show the changing approach within the industry toward high technology, software-intensive, and networked systems of systems. Second, globalization is impacting the LCS industry, just as it does other economic sectors. The DoD needs to decide whether to fight or embrace globalization. Finally, the proliferation of partnerships, and other mechanisms, illustrate the struggle of industry players to maintain their relevance, and the DoD's struggle to maintain a healthy LCS industrial base. This year, the study team devotes considerable report space to providing field study observations, findings, and recommendations for bolstering the industry. Overall, the study team found the LCS industry to be in good shape, but not without opportunities for significant improvement. Mr. Lance R. Alderman, Dept of the Navy COL James E. Cashwell, US Army Col Kirk W. Hymes, US Marine Corps COL Gary L. Keck, US Army Ms. Susan C. Kinney, HQ USMC Ms. Margaret A. Kulungowski, Dept of the Army Lt Col Didi Kuo, US Air Force COL Bruce D.
