UGVs, ISTAR, Manoeuvre, Logistics Precision Attack and Medical Systems on Display at Marshall SDG Technology and Capability Centre in Petersfield

Cambridge, 21st September 2010; Marshall Land Systems is demonstrating its capabilities today to mark the opening of its new Technology and Capability Centre at Marshall SDG in Petersfield.

On display are Unmanned Ground Vehicles and solutions relevant to ISTAR, Manoeuvre, Logistics, Precision Attack sand medical Systems domains.

The UGVs include QUESTAR, a fast moving, low signature surveillance vehicle which can operate autonomously or remotely on either tracks or wheels; TRAKKAR, a logistic support platform, which uses “follow me” technology and autonomous software, can be operated remotely as a load carrier, communications, surveillance or route clearance platform; and shown for the first time a remote control Land Rover which has been developed by Marshall SDG, part of Marshall Land Systems.

Protected Workspace solutions include a battery charger unit which has recently been delivered to the Royal Air Force; a deployable Machine Shop (DMS) which is in service with the British Army, Royal Marines and Royal Air Force; and an extended shelter which forms the basis of many solutions, including hospitals which have been delivered to customers in the UK, Scandinavia and other parts of the world.

Two variants of the British Army’s Support Vehicle are also on display. The private venture developed Equipment Prime Mover has a number of flexible configurations. The one on show has a stores load bed which can carry two standard NATO pallets of ammunition, engineer stores, an armoured vehicle powerpack or other materials, it has a crane and a six man protected crew compartment. A 15 tonne variant is demonstrating how it can re-rolled into a stretcher carrying variant using a unique system developed by Nodin A/S one of Marshall Land Systems Norwegian offset partners.

Demonstrating the company’s ability to carryout in depth feasibility and refurbishment projects is the Challenger 2 and derivatives Powerpack Run Up Trolley which are used by the REME.
