Drastic Weight Savings of Vehicle Protection with Composite Structural Components(NANO Tech)

IBD Deisenroth Engineering succeeded in the development of nano-composite laminates with a dramatically improved strength, i.e. these materials can replace structural parts of a vehicle and simultaneously serve as high level ballistic protection. As a consequence of the high performance of these materials and the low density of the composite solutions the overall weight of the protection is significantly reduced.

Rheinmetall Defence launched HEROLDnavy, a completely new naval air/surface surveillance and fire control system. It consists of the company’s FIRST (Fast IR Search and Track) system and the MSP600 Multi Sensor Platform. The new solution is a fully stabilised platform to support operations of any type of surface warship, including fast attack craft (FAC), offshore patrol vessels (OPVs), corvettes, frigates, and mine countermeasures vessels.

Lightweight Firepower at Sea
The Missile Launching System (MLS) developed by Aselsan provides superior defence against a wide variety of emerging surface threats. The basic system configuration consists of a lightweight independent stabilised electro-optic (EO) suite, s stabilised weapon turret, and a fire control subsystem distributed on the platform.

First Export Order
MBDA signed a contract to deliver its SIMBAD RC shipboard self-defence weapon system to a first, yet unnamed foreign customer. The order came only one year after MBDA initiated development of the system. The first prototype systems are in production and will be delivered during 2015. SIMBAD RC is a lightweight, twin launcher equipped with two ready-to-fire MISTRAL missiles.
