Belrex Protected Vehicles Launched
A new family of Protected Vehicles, comprising ten variants based on Paramount’s Marauder, was launched recently at the biennial Africa Aerospace and Defence 2018 exhibition. Paramount also unveiled its new Surveillance and Intelligence Network, or SAINTS.
The Singapore Technologies (ST) Engineering’s Land Systems arm and Paramount Group, South Africa’s global aerospace and defence company, together will market the family of Belrex Protected Vehicles globally.
The ten variants leverage ST Engineering’s strong and proven expertise in the design and development of armoured mobility platforms. In November 2016, the Singapore Army commissioned the Belrex Protected Combat Support Vehicle.
Tung Yui Fai, President of Defence Business at ST Engineering’s Land Systems arm said, “We believe the Belrex Protected Vehicle, with its variants, will be a key asset to armed forces and paramilitary, offering protected mobility transport for combat and non-combat operational requirements.”
Ivor Ichikowitz, Group Chairman of Paramount Group said, “Singapore is one of the most sophisticated defence procurement markets. It is with great pride that we have partnered with ST Engineering, a global leader in defence technologies.”
Classified as MRAP (Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected) class, the four-wheeled armoured vehicle provides motorised infantry combat support and combat service support forces with improved firepower, protection and situational awareness to enhance their survivability. It is highly flexible, and can be configured to carry combat loads for a variety of combat support and logistical functions. The ten variants include security, engineer, reconnaissance, logistics,
fuel, mortar, medical, signal, maintenance and mortar ammunition carrier. The base platform comes in three basic crew compartment sizes – four, eight and ten.
In addition to a remote machine gun and a smoke grenade launcher, the vehicle also has provisions for a suite of C4 systems, enabling co-operative engagement with other land combat platforms as part of a networked force. The vehicle can be deployed in peacekeeping roles in conflict areas and other para military roles.
New Surveillance Network
Paramount Group, meanwhile, also announced the launch of its new scalable and modular Surveillance and Intelligence Network, or SAINTS. The programme provides customers with affordable surveillance and intelligence capabilities to discover and assess potential security threats in any environment, setting a new industry standard for situational awareness in the field.
Paramount Advanced Technologies CEO, Ralph Mills said, “In today’s environment of uncertain asymmetrical challenges, superior information and intelligence is vital to ensure safety and mission success. Many governments face serious challenges to their sovereignty, for example, which can vary dramatically in nature and scope. Almost every state has cause to improve, to modernise its ability to monitor potential and emerging threats. The more, and more quickly that security forces can detect and recognise danger, the greater their opportunity to act decisively to defuse or overcome it”.
SAINTS provides customers with latest technologies, covering both military and paramilitary situations, enhancing network effectiveness by way of its reliance on both commercial and military telecommunications systems. End-users can find precisely the right capabilities to address their unique situations at hand. The programme is fully networked and allows for the deployment of additional sensors as part of its system architecture; thus, SAINTS can begin with a one-man portable system, however, it is scalable and can incorporate additional platforms and sensors, providing both affordability and flexibility.
Paramount Group developed the network in-house, using extensive engineering, intelligence, and operational experience in step with a mission to leverage the technological boons of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The PAT Engineering team acted as Lead System Integrator, bringing together multiple products as part of the solution in consultation with intelligence specialists.
The company drew on its experience with Paramount’s Flexible Light Armaments System (FLASH) for helicopters soon to be adapted to fixed wing aircraft, which takes a similar approach as SAINTS, allowing customers to choose among a large variety of sensors, weapons, and other mission equipment options. SAINTS was created with a special understanding of budgetary constraints commonly facing public entities.
Mills added: “Responsible sovereign powers and peacekeeping forces need to maintain security, and therefore for nearly 25 years, we have designed world-beating technologies that both protect personnel and enable them to better fulfil their objectives. The fact that the SAINTS system is both modular and scalable, with the added ability to reuse legacy communication equipment and sensors, allows customers to find the right fit for both capability and price”.
Paramount Group has assisted more than 30 nations and has an extensive global manufacturing base. It is a leader in defence and security innovation and is a trusted partner to sovereign governments across the globe. Paramount Group has been responsible for the development and production of a broad range of highly advanced armoured and mine protected vehicles that are in operation around the world. The family of APC and combat vehicles which has been developed from clean-sheet design is at the vanguard of armoured vehicle technologies. These vehicles have been designed and developed to meet the increasing demand for multi-role, high mobility, and mine hardened platforms, providing a solution to the ever-changing demands of the global battlefield.
