4 - Small Arms Ammunition

Our engineers have developed new 5.56mm and 7.62mm rounds with hugely increased range and armour penetration, whilst remaining fully NATO compliant. We are also developing lighter-weight and entirely lead-free rounds. BAE Systems can produce over one million rounds per day of Small Arms Ammunition in 5.56mm and 7.62mm NATO calibres including ball, tracer and blank natures. Packaging configurations include carton, link and clip to suit operational and training requirements.
Having provided nearly all of the British Army’s requirements since 1940, we are trusted to provide high volumes of precision rounds that soldiers know they can rely on.
5 - CTAI 40mm Cased Telescoped Cannon (CTC)

The CTC will deliver step-changing capability to the British Army’s new Ajax and Warrior CSP vehicle programmes and to the French Army’s JAGUAR programme, giving increased flexibility in many different operating environments. The system can also be used for air defence and naval applications.
There is interest in the system from the USA, Australia, Europe and the Middle East. In 2015 CTAI commenced production of the CTC for the UK Ministry of Defence. This was for a total of 515 Cannons, with more than 100 cannons delivered so far.
6 - Silver Bullet precision guidance kit

The system enables close-range fire support to friendly forces and is suitable for use in urban areas. It eliminates the need for the targeting process and the GPS-guided projectiles enable immediate, effective strikes on enemy forces. BAE Systems has conducted hundreds of firing tests for Silver Bullet and even during challenging weather conditions; the system continues to prove to be highly accurate with a circular error probability (CEP) of less than 20 metres.
7 - Platform and Mission System Integration (PMSI)

On display at DSEI, we are showing a UAV integrated with a standard crewstation, giving an instant situational awareness upgrade for vehicles. To integrate new mission systems, we use a modern, flexible Electronic Architecture compliant with Defence Standard 23-09 and NATO Generic Vehicle Architecture, reducing platform integration time and minimising programme risks. Our scalable solution supports simple wheeled vehicles through to complex turreted platforms.
8 - Modular Bridging System

To be cost-effective, it is essential that bridging solutions use minimal manpower, are low risk, affordable and easily integrated into existing force structures. We are pleased to announce that building our long-standing partnerships with the British Army we are now developing the next generation of Modular Bridging Systems to provide gap crossing for heavier vehicles across a greater variety of gaps.
The advanced system includes both close support bridging, for narrower gaps in high threat environments, and general support bridging variants for wider gaps in lower threat environments along with the advanced technology to actively monitor fatigue. To further support our customers, we have developed a unique Bridge Test Facility - the most advanced of its kind in Europe. It allows us to guarantee the number of crossings a bridge can withstand.
9 - M109A5+

BAE Systems has been contracted to upgrade 32 of the Brazilian Army’s M109A5 self-propelled howitzers to the M109A5+, enhancing its artillery capabilities. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2018 along with crew training and additional support for the Army.
- Faster firing execution
- Digitised fire mission sequence
- Improved navigation
10 - M777 155mm lightweight howitzer

Mobile forces require quality systems that are quick and easy to transport. Initially developed for the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Army as their next generation Medium Force weapon, the M777 has become the benchmark for 155mm Lightweight Towed Artillery Systems.
Highly portable by land, sea and air, the system features a minimal logistical footprint alongside maximum reliability. This means that it can be frequently moved and re-deployed, maximising survivability, without encountering the IED risks faced by self-propelled systems. The M777 can strike over extended distances, regardless of terrain and obstacles.
The M777 is compatible with all standard ammo types, as well as advanced rounds. Its strengths have been proven in battle, particularly in Afghanistan where it has been in service since 2006. Over 360,000 rounds fired have proven its simple, dependable operation, even in harsh environments.
To date, the M777 howitzer has been selected by U.S., Canadian, Australian, and Indian forces, with total orders currently exceeding 1,200.
- Battle-proven, lightweight, outstanding reliability
- Rapidly deployable; supports remote operations
- Unprecedented tactical and strategic mobility
11 - BONUS

The shell body, which carries two sensor-fused sub-munitions, is provided with basebleed, offering ranges out to 35 km. Each of the two sensor-fused munitions carried within the shell can defeat its own target. When the BONUS round is above the target area, two warheads are expelled and the sensors start searching for targets within a 200m diameter area. When a target is detected within the footprint, it is destroyed by an explosively formed penetrator, punching through the target’s roof and devastating its interior.
- Warheads are undetectable when expelled
- Dual mode sensor; provides great range/coverage
- Effective against passive and reactive protection systems
12 - BvS10

The vehicle has performed in operations all over the world as a means of Force Protection and has met demanding mission requirements, while retaining low operating and maintenance costs.
A proven workhorse in battle situations, the BvS10 is based upon battle-proven driveline and chassis technologies that underpin the all-terrain vehicles in service worldwide. With an outstanding pedigree of reliability, durability and high system availability, the BvS10 provides the optimum combination of mobility, payload and protection. At DSEI 2015, BAE Systems unveiled the latest member of the Bv family of vehicles, the BvS10 Beowulf, an unarmoured version of the vehicle.
