Day 3 for the editorial team of Arm Recognition, the international online and defence security
1:22
magazine at Milipol Paris, the international defence security exhibition and safety. Today, police and SWAT units need to have new equipment, including protected vehicles
1:35
Behind me, you can see one of two products unveiled by the company AEG at Milipol Paris
1:41
2019, the Jaws and the Guardian Extreme. On this video, we will focus on different types of protected vehicles presented at Milipol
1:51
Paris 2019. The International Armoured Group is a global leader in the production of combat and armoured
2:03
vehicles, but the company is also involved in the production of internal security vehicles
2:08
and anti-riot vehicles. Arm Recognition has the chance to make a drive test of different types of combat vehicles
2:16
and security vehicles in RAS Al-Khaimah in UAE in the production facilities of AEG
2:59
My name is Sarah Evans, business development manager here at Stray Group
3:24
We are a company that manufacture one of the largest in the world, various model armoured
3:29
vehicles for various industries. So we have armoured APCs and also we have a large range of vehicles for the security industry
3:37
We have the assault vehicles, assault ladder vehicles based on a Spartan to various protection levels
3:44
We also have the riot control vehicles, which consist of barricade systems, water cannons
3:50
tear gas systems, whatever the customer requires. We have a large number of engineers and they are constantly monitoring the various threat
3:59
levels and the demand in the industry. So we have Cobras, which are a small armoured personnel vehicle, but perfect for security
4:09
protecting police, for border control, for the police security. Behind me, IVECO, which is a manufacturer of combat vehicles, presents a solution for
4:23
security and police officers. You can see this is an MUV vehicle, it's a Homeland Security Vehicle
4:33
This is based on a commercial chassis of IVECO, but with some modifications on the chassis
4:38
and the frame of the vehicle to be used in all terrain conditions
4:41
The internal layout of the vehicle is designed to offer a very high comfort for the police
4:46
officer during long missions. My name is Len Light, I'm Vice President at Lenco Armoured Vehicles
5:07
We are based in the United States. We have been in business for nearly 40 years and we were the first company in the United
5:13
States to develop the purpose-built armoured police vehicle, known as the Bearcat
5:19
So we're the largest supplier of armoured tactical police vehicles in North America
5:24
and quickly growing throughout Europe, throughout the Middle East, throughout Africa. Having a purpose-built counter-terrorism unit and a vehicle, it's a necessity
5:35
It's a standard operating procedure for our police and quickly police around the world
5:41
My name is Alan Preston, I'm the Field Service Engineer for Lenco Vehicles
5:45
I cover the Middle East and North Africa. This vehicle here is a B7 vehicle, so it will give you protection against 7.62 armoured piercing
5:54
It has ballistic glass, which will stop a .50 calibre. This particular vehicle is a normal, what we call a G3, normal SWAT vehicle
6:05
It's fitted with our RAM bar. Upon the end of our RAM bar here, we have a specialist tool, which is a four-way camera
6:14
and also on the top is a gas injector. We build our vehicles to customer specifications
6:20
We appreciate that every SWAT team, every operational team, has their own set of operational
6:27
procedures, their own equipment and their own weapon systems. So we'll design the interior of the vehicle to suit their purposes
6:34
So this vehicle offers a lot of advantages. This will take eight operators in the rear, six, six and two
6:42
Underneath the seats are storage equipment for plasma ropes, the equipment that's on
6:47
the front of the vehicle, the gas injector and the TV camera
6:51
But this extra floor space offers you the ability to put in a litter if you need to
6:56
do a casualty evacuation. This style of vehicle was successfully used to evacuate the ministers from the Ottawa
7:03
Parliament building. So this will stop a .50 cal, no problem at all
7:08
This particular vehicle, being B7, has half-inch armour, so it'll stop 7.62 armour piercing
7:14
no problem at all. That ramp can be removed in 30 minutes and just turned back into a normal patrol vehicle
7:20
So it's kind of like a Swiss army knife, really, for want of a better description
7:24
This vehicle is fully compliant to European Union road transport regulations. The quality of build is exceptional when we compare to the other vehicles in the market
7:34
of this class. At Millipore Paris 2019, the French company Arcus present a different type of internal
8:02
security vehicles. Arcus is very know-how in the development and the manufacturing of combat vehicles
8:09
The company is also involved in the security area. And we can see behind me a version of the Sherpa, especially designed for the French Gendarmerie
8:18
Because today, the French Gendarmerie has an idea to replace old vehicles with new ones
8:23
to increase the capacity of the mobile unit of the French Gendarmerie
9:22
We are in front of the TITUS Nexter, a 6.6-litre armored vehicle with a 440-hp engine
9:42
It has a weight of 17 tonnes and can carry up to 28 tonnes depending on the load
9:51
This vehicle will have two strong points. First of all, its protection and mobility
9:57
It will be a truly armored vehicle with a STANAG 4 armor
10:04
The mobility of the vehicle is guaranteed by its 440-hp engine and especially by its
10:09
two mobile axles, which allow it to have a 13-metre armoring diameter
10:15
It's a very mobile vehicle in urban areas. This TITUS is the TITUS of the RAID that we present here on Millipol
10:24
It has been used 4 or 5 times in operation by the RAID, so it has some modifications
10:31
We can see here the assault ramp, which allows the operators, 6 or 7 RAID operators, to
10:38
get in position in the assault column with a shield here that is illuminated and can
10:44
be detachable to lead the assault. Here we can see Find Eagle, our drone by Nexter
10:52
It's a drone that will rise to 5 meters above the vehicle to provide immediate security
10:57
and allow the RAID crew to land safely. For the police, we removed the tele-operated turrets
11:06
As it is a rear-end security vehicle, there are no turrets, so there are no post shooters
11:12
at the front, so it was removed. However, we kept all the external control systems that you can see on the command post
11:20
The serval that we see here is really the gendarmerie serval, which is part of the
11:25
Scorpion project, which is adapted here for the gendarmerie. There are some modifications to be made on this version compared to the military version
11:34
First of all, we also removed the tele-operated turrets. It is a vehicle that will have the function of order maintenance, like the BBRG that we
11:44
recently saw on the Troubles in Paris. This vehicle is really made for order maintenance, unlike the Titus, which is really made for
11:51
action, for assault, for personal protection. So this one is not going to have turrets, it will have an additional protection blade
12:00
unlike the military vehicles used in battalion offs. So in the Scorpion program, the serval is really a mobile unit, quite mobile in the
12:14
armies, so support, command, transmission. The Scorpion project is really a project where you can decline the versions of the vehicles
12:23
The serval is part of it, so it will be able to be transformed into a support vehicle, transport
12:29
You have four seats in the back, sorry, plus three seats in the front, so a load of seven people
12:34
You will also be able to do reconnaissance. It still has a turret, which is here behind, which will be a slightly lower turret, to
12:40
keep this operability of the serval, a vision really at 360 degrees, and which will be able
12:48
to allow it to be aware of the situation, in situations where it can be surrounded by
12:53
hostile movements or demonstrations. The people inside will be totally aware of the situation thanks to this kind of turret
13:03
So here you will have light here, front, back, and then like all the vehicles from
13:10
Nexter, you will have the same cameras that you saw here on the Titus, which will be
13:14
put on the serval and directed from the inside
