Two more NATO Members Root for ROSY
Two NATO member nations recently opted to purchase Rheinmetall’s ROSY rapid smoke/obscurant system for protecting their vehicle families. This modular system continues to expand its presence in the global force protection market. The two orders are reportedly worth several million euros.
Delivery of 126 systems to Spanish defence contractor URO Vehículos Especiales S.A. (UROVESA) began in April. UROVESA will be installing these systems in 126 out of 139 VAMTAC protected patrol vehicles purchased by the Portuguese armed forces in July 2018 via the NATO Support and Procurement Agency, or NSPA. Delivery of the systems will be completed in March 2020.
Pre-series delivery in response to another order begins in May 2019, this time from Belgium. Here, Rheinmetall is acting as subcontractor for the British company Jankel, which is supplying the Belgian Army with the Light Troop Transport Vehicle, or LTTV. All 199 of the vehicles are being prepared for integration of the system, in addition to the supply of control units and launchers for 167 vehicles. Series production commences in February 2020 and will be completed the same year.
These two orders mean that ROSY will soon be in service in no fewer than 11 countries. The system provides protection from surprise attacks by creating a wall of smoke/obscurant that renders vehicles invisible to the enemy. Unlike conventional systems, it not only produces an instantaneous, extensive, multispectral interruption in the line of sight, but also generates a dynamic smoke screen that provides moving assets with long-lasting protection.
Rapid protection against a wide spectrum of enemy sensors and sight is one of the most important requirements in modern military missions. Being stopped by a barrier, crossing a street in urban combat or being threatened by snipers, are examples of situations where spontaneous invisibility can substantially increase the survivability.
Assuring 360-degree protection, the system’s multi-mission capability offers a strong defence against multiple assaults, including stream and wave attacks. Thanks to effective screening measures in the visual and infrared spectrum, including integrated IR jamming and decoying effects, ROSY reliably wards off all TV-, EO-, IR-, IIR-, laser- and SACLOS-guided weapons.
The system is available in a number of different versions. Fundamentally suitable for vehicles of all types, ROSY_L encompasses a basic system consisting of one control unit per vehicle as well as one to four launchers which, depending on the model, can hold two or three magazines each.
The modular variant ROSY_Mod lends itself to small weapon stations and small vehicles of the kind used by special forces, for example. It can be directly and invisibly integrated into the vehicle without a launcher. While ROSY_N was specially developed to provide small naval and coast guard vessels with effective protection.
