  Germany awards 159 MUSD vehicle contract to GDELS

  April 15, 2020 - General Dynamics European Land Systems has been awarded a contract by the German procurement agency BAAINBw for the delivery of 80 highly protected EAGLE 6x6 vehicles for the German Army`s ambulance corps. First vehicle deliveries will start in 2021 and continue throughout 2024. The EAGLE was selected in a competitive tender process under the medium protected ambulance vehicle program (“mittleres geschütztes Ambulanzfahrzeug”), which will close the gap between the user´s light and heavy ambulance vehicle fleet. The EAGLE 6x6 is the latest and largest member of the proven EAGLE family of vehicles. In its 6x6 configuration, the vehicle provides a more spacious user compartment and more payload. Reduced cost of ownership is achieved through its high degree of commonality with the 4x4 version, its maintenance-friendly design, and proven support solutions. Germany is the 2nd customer for this new EAGLE version after the Swiss Army. “We would like to thank the German Army very much for its confidence in our EAGLE vehicle platform. As a reliable partner to the Bundeswehr, GDELS is fully committed to deliver the vehicles on cost, quality, and schedule,” said Dr. Thomas Kauffmann, GDELS Vice President for International Business & Services. GDELS will manufacture the EAGLE at its sites in Switzerland and Germany. For the German program, a significant part of the production will be completed in Kaiserslautern and Sembach with the involvement of dozens of German suppliers. “This contract will further strengthen our capabilities as a leading vehicle OEM and will result in a multi-million investment into our German vehicle maintenance hub in Sembach” said Dr. Christian Kauth, Managing Director of GDELS-Deutschland. The German Army and German Federal Police operate a fleet of close to 700 EAGLE vehicles; the vehicle has proven its superior performance and reliability in various national and international missions.

  Selon une étude publiée jeudi 21 janvier par l'INSEE Bretagne, les effectifs des Armées en cyberdéfense seront en forte augmentation sur le territoire de Rennes Métropole jusqu'en 2025. Le développement des activités de cyberdéfense du ministère des Armées dans l'agglomération rennaise devrait se traduire par la création de 1 800 postes entre 2018 et 2025, et par des recrutements, précise La Tribune. Le quartier de La Courrouze abrite la Cyberdéfense Factory, un incubateur civil et militaire, ainsi que plusieurs groupes industriels de plus de 100 salariés et impliqués dans cet écosystème. Airbus Cybersecurity (protection des gouvernements et des activités vitales), Thales Services, Altran et la CyberSoC d'Orange Cyberdéfense concentrent à eux seuls 70% de l'emploi privé. « La présence du pôle d'excellence cyber permet le développement de synergies entre la recherche, la formation et les acteurs économiques », précise l'INSEE.
