Rheinmetall Defence: A Versatile Partner in South America

摘要

As one of the world's leading suppliers of defence technology systems, Rheinmetall Defence will be at FIDAE with a representative selection of its diverse array of products for military and security forces. At FIDAE 2012, Rheinmetall Defence will be displaying some of its high-tech solutions for upgrade programmes. On show will be an infantry fight vehicle whose modernised protection features are specifically designed to counter today's battlefield threats. The configuration showcased here includes add-on armour, a spall liner and anti-mine seats decoupled from the floor of the vehicle, all designed and installed by Rheinmetall Chempro. These features provide crews with reliable protection from RPG attacks, APFDS-T rounds and antitank guided missiles with tandem shaped charges, and landmines. All of these force protection components can be quickly retrofitted into existing vehicles without impairing their mobility. Rheinmetall's "Multi-Ammunition Softkill System" (MASS) is a fully automatic means of protecting ships on the high seas and in coastal waters from symmetric and asymmetric threats. When MASS detects an incoming threat, it takes into account the azimuth, altitude, distance, number and sequence of projectiles before launching appropriate countermeasures at precisely the right moment.
