EUROPE

LAND

30 Dec 08. Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace has won a contract with the
Polish Ministry of Defence for a coastal artillery system featuring
ground-launched Naval Strike Missiles (NSM). With a scope of MNOK 800, the contract was won in an open international competition. Delivery is scheduled for completion within 48 months. The contract encompasses NSMs for use in conjunction with a command and weapon control system similar to KONGSBERG’s renowned NASAMS air defence system. The radar system, communications system and trucks carrying launch ramps will be provided by Polish subcontractors. (Source: ASD Network)

30 Dec 08. Saab signed a contract concerning life time extension of the BILL anti-tank missile system. The order value is approximately 10m Euro (approx. SEK 104m). The contract means that the customer will be retaining the Saab-developed anti-tank missile system capabilities for at least a further 10 years.

18 Dec 08. Protected Patrol Vehicles (PPV): Further Order. The Defence Equipment Minister announced (18 Dec 08) the purchase of over 100 Bronco PPV from Singapore Technologies Kinetics (STK) for “over £150m”. The vehicles are to be delivered to the UK during 2009, for modification and transformation into Warthogs. The new vehicles are destined for Afghanistan, replacing Viking, where they are to be deployed in four variants: troop carrier, ambulance, command vehicle and repair & recovery vehicle.
Comment: The Bronco/Warthog acquisition was one of the worst kept ‘secrets’, having been forecast in the specialist media since 27 Nov 08 (if not earlier). Bronco is in service with the Singaporean Armed Forces, but has not been selected by any other country. The MoD has not, as yet, announced which company is to undertake the conversion work, which is to include: “A protected gun mount, extra armour, specialist electronic countermeasure equipment and communications tools.”.
