CONTRACT NEWS IN BRIEF

June 17, 2012 by

EUROPE

LAND

12 Jun 12. BAE Systems secured a contract for more than €12.5m ($15.7m) to supply 25 RG32M mine-hardened armoured patrol vehicles to the Finnish Defence Forces. This contract follows Finland’s previous orders for 26 vehicles in 2010 and 23 vehicles in 2011. (Source: ASD Network)

12 Jun 12. GE secured an order for £3.25m (~$5m) from General Dynamics UK for subsystems required for the Demonstration Phase for the Scout Specialist Vehicle family of platforms for the British Army for which General Dynamics UK is currently on contract. The Scout SV family of platforms will deliver a step change in ground-based ISTAR capability. It is a purpose designed ground-based intelligence platform with an array of high performance sensors, coupled with the latest (20 Gbits/second) Gigabit Ethernet intelligent open architecture. This will enable it to capture, analyze, manipulate and store over 6 TeraBytes of intelligence data, including a vast array of still and moving images, and to share this intelligence in real-, or very near real, time, depending on requirement. Thanks to this capability, Scout SV’s crew will be able to provide commanders with better decision-making support material than that currently available only from airborne ISTAR platforms or UAVs. Data will be readily passed to other secure C4I systems, including those of US and other NATO allies. The GE subsystems comprise rugged processors derived from GE’s MAGIC1 and SBC624 Single Board Computer and rugged Ethernet switches derived from GE’s GBX460. They will provide information processing capability for Scout SV, manage on-vehicle networks, control data storage and drive the vehicle’s displays. GE has provided COTS-equivalent solutions to enable General Dynamics UK to begin software development immediately.
