Millbrook, based in Bedfordshire, UK, makes a significant contribution to the quality and performance of military vehicles worldwide. Its specialist expertise is focussed in two distinct areas: test programmes to help armed services and their suppliers ensure that their vehicles and systems work as the specification requires; and design and build work to upgrade new or existing vehicles, evaluate vehicle capability and investigate in-service failures. Complementing these is driver and service training and a hospitality business that allows customers to use selected areas of Millbrook’s remarkable facilities for demonstrations and exhibitions.

Horstman was previously part of the FCS MGV suspension team and provided the InArm® hydropneumatic suspension systems for the NLOS-C chassis demonstrators. Horstman Inc will leverage Davis’s existing compressible fluid technology worldwide by adding Horstman’s extensive marketing, program management and manufacturing expertise. Horstman Defence Systems is recognized as the world leading suspension developer for military vehicles.
