This ammunition delivers up to four times the power of the medium calibre system it replaces. Unlike traditional ammunition, the propellant and projectile is ‘telescoped’ within a single case tube, taking up less space but delivering a greater effect from the same calibre. This ammunition represents a step change in ammunition, given its additional power and versatility. Qualification is underway for the new Airburst round, providing a significant increase in coverage compared to current 25mm/30mm equivalents, to over 125 square metres. The General Purpose Point Detonating should be qualified in the next few months. Both the new round and the canon it is fired from have been developed by CTA International (CTAI), a joint venture between Nexter and BAE Systems. The fully qualified ammunition – Armour Piercing round and Target Practice – is manufactured by BAE Systems Land (UK) for the British Army and Nexter Munitions for the French Army.

 

 

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.

 

The Cased Telescoped Cannon’s revolutionary design provides a weapon that is both powerful – delivering up to four times the power of some systems it replaces – and compact, with low turret intrusion, allowing more than three different natures of ammunition to be fired on the move, at high elevation.

Part of the M109 family of self-propelled howitzers, the M109A5+ provides an increase in capabilities by digitising the fire mission sequence. Adding position and navigation systems, commanders’ display unit, digital capable radios, weapons control system and remotely actuated travel lock improve the time from receipt of mission to firing the mission by more than 80 percent over previous variants.  

 

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.

 

• Warheads are undetectable when expelled
• Dual mode sensor; provides great range/coverage
• Effective against passive and reactive protection systems

The BvS10 is an armoured, articulated, amphibious vehicle that is designed to provide total operational support where other vehicles cannot. Capable of rapidly traversing terrain that would hinder other all-terrain vehicles, the BvS10 provides its crew with a go-anywhere ability that increases survivability no matter the theatre of operations.

 

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.

 

 

 

• Fast, agile and manoeuvrable reconnaissance platform
• Well protected against IEDs and direct fire
• Information node in the digital battlespace

 

Mantlet™ is an Advanced Miniature Digital Electronic Support Measures (ESM) System providing Radio Frequency (RF) situational awareness to enable rapid decision-making. Mantlet is a true ‘force-multiplier’; the system addresses the requirements for both Communications and Radar ESM platforms, reducing cost, increasing commonality and providing greater operational flexibility.

 

Mantlet’s small size, weight (2.5kg) and power enables it to be easily integrated onto UAVs, land vehicles, helicopters, fast jets, transport aircraft and maritime platforms. Mantlet provides improved Situational Awareness and intelligence gathering. These capabilities are provided through wideband digital receivers which generate instantaneous detections and enable fine grain signal analysis.

 

The Mantlet system performs ESM and geo-location functions in both military and civil applications. Its small size and weight makes it ideally suited to maritime surveillance, complex airborne environments and border protection platforms. Mantlet is as ideally suited to today’s low altitude, short range engagements as to long range ones.

The CV90 is one of the world’s most modern combat vehicles with 15 different variants in active service. BAE Systems designed the vehicle with a clear vision: to create a vehicle that provides high tactical and strategic mobility, air defence, anti-tank capability, high survivability and protection in any terrain or tactical environment.

 

The CV90 family of vehicles gives unrivalled performance in the 20-35 tons class and has been deployed by national forces, the UN and NATO in missions across the globe including in Afghanistan. There are more than 1,200 CV90 vehicles operating in seven nations, including several NATO allies. Current user nations are: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland.

  

With more than 25 years’ experience in enhancing and developing the CV90 family, BAE Systems has maximised the availability and cost-efficiency of these vehicles throughout their lifecycle. Customer priorities and affordability are key, with future-proof designs leading to further advances.
