Day 2 for Armory Cognition Editorial Team at Eurostatory 2016, the International Airlands
0:17
and Defence exhibition in Paris, France. Today, we took a close look about the highlights of the show
1:00
One of the key events of the day is the unveiling of the new armoured infantry combat vehicle from Rann Metal, the Lings
1:30
My name is Ben Hudson. I head our Vehicle Systems Division in Rhymetail
1:39
And what we've launched today is the Lynx family of vehicles. Links is a new, modern family of vehicles that exploits a gap in the market we see
1:48
for a 30 to 45-ton class of vehicle that takes account of the latest technology developments
1:54
and maximizes capability in a pragmatic way. So we've used high technology readiness level
1:59
or subsystems to produce a pragmatic vehicle for customers internationally. So what you see fitted to the vehicle it an infantry fighting vehicle We have two configurations that fit a man turret with either six or eight seats in the rear of the vehicle I think the eight seats is quite unique on the market now
2:16
And what you see is our new enhanced lance 35mm turret. We've been developing the turret for several years now
2:22
It's in service with the Spanish Marine Infantry. This is the latest generation. It's a full digital turret with compartmentalised ammunition
2:29
And the vehicle you see here has a 35mm gun fitted to it
2:33
The 35 mill ammunition is quite unique. its capabilities. It's almost double the performance of a 30mm round. And also we fitted the turret
2:40
with a twin spike long range any tank guided missile to deal with the most aggressive
2:45
threats on the battlefield. The vehicle and turret are both Rhymetal land system products and the
2:51
turret features a lot of the electronic components and smart technology from our Rhymatel
2:56
Defence Electronics Group in Bremen. So it's a 100% Rhymetail product. present a full range of new combat vehicles, including Special Forces Vehicle and APC Armoured
3:12
Personal Carrier. The outfielder from Sofram, a vehicle for special forces, tactical units, 5.5 tonne, six tonne
3:23
class vehicle, three persons. Now it's prototype but quite at the end of the development phase
3:31
Second vehicle, Vampier, 12-ton class. vehicle for Special Forces, tactical unit, crew 5 persons
3:40
Arrive system, now in front of you, a PC, this vehicle is under production and under delivery
3:52
We have now 8 versions available, ambulance, PC and so on. Very flexible solution
4:01
In this solution you see a remote weapon station to have a remote weapon station, 12.7mm
4:06
Here in the Eurostatory this year we are displaying two new products for this occasion One of them is Cobra 2 Cobra 2 is now in production for three users actually in Turkey with different configurations of course
4:32
The Cobra 2 is a natural extension and growth of existing Cobra
4:38
Here in display is a variation of TULPAR which we call TULPAR S, 20-ton class, which uses the same
4:46
type of subsystems but higher protection good explosives and mine protection is also amphibious
4:55
so for this new edition you are launching this product Lange's battlefield system
5:12
in order to have a real kind of effects for real live training for troops blanks or vehicles and to simulate many effects for land forces
5:21
So this is a great new for us. As you can see, multiple launcher device or be a launcher device
5:33
What we have here today is the Hawkeye. It's a protected vehicle in the seven-ton class
5:42
It's designed to carry four or five men around the the battlefield in a very highly protected configuration. It's also a very highly mobile vehicle
5:50
that's been designed to get the combination of protection and mobility in a package that can
5:56
be carried underneath the helicopter. We've also developed it with a very high C4I capability
6:01
with advanced vehicle electronic architecture that is based on open architecture to allow easier integration
6:16
I introduce you to the PFM, which is the motorised floating bridge for Knyms
6:20
It's a wet gap crossing capability, which is dual application. So it is an individual roll roll ferry that also links together to become a rigid floating bridging system It has an MLC rating a military load classification of 80 tons which is
6:39
ideal for military and disaster relief applications. Well, one of the things that we're highlighting at this year's show is our
6:53
Bushmaster Mark 44 Canon. And one of the things that we're really highlighting is the ability to take that cannon and convert it from 30 millimeter quite easily to 40 millimeter
7:07
Along with that, we're producing a whole new line of ammunition specific to 40 millimeter application so that we have ammunition that is specifically matched to the gun
7:21
So the vehicle behind me is an AMV-35. Australia is running a competition to replace their current 8x8 reconnaissance platform
7:30
So the vehicle we're bidding combines Patria's excellent armoured modular vehicle, AMV
7:37
combat proven with a number of nations, with BA Systems Haglund's turret
7:42
in this case the 35mm turret that's common to the CB90s in service in Denmark and Holland
7:54
So FusionSight is our latest development in cooperation with some partners in France, in a cluster
8:02
And we have developed that to allow observation at extremely low light levels at night throughout daylight
8:08
So all the way long from day to dark night, both in infrared and in direct vision, so invisible lights
8:17
And this combination allows to detect things that otherwise would be undetectual
8:24
in either of the meats. You use the traditional eye air or the traditional visible light
