Portugal seeks to upgrade its Pandur II AFVs

Victor Barreira, Istanbul

The Portuguese Army is seeking to improve the Pandur II 8x8 armoure fighting vehicles (AFVs) for its Intervention Brigade amid a broader effort to improve the type, Lieutenant Colonel Ricardo Camilo, Head of the capabilities branch of the army general staff's force planning division, told Janes on 17 July.

A mid-life upgrade (MLU) will gradually overhaul the entire fleet, and 'digitise' the vehicles with new vetronics.

An enhancement by Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace of the existing 12,7 mm Protector remotely controlled weapon stations is being discussed and would include modernising the optics and installing ballistic protection.

The army is soon expected to award General Dynamics European Land Systems (GDELS) a contract to carry out a 6-month viability study on the feasibility of adding provisions for installing NATO STANAG 4569 Level 4 ballistic protection add-on-kits to the Pandur II fleet, as well as integrating a remote or manned weapon turret armed with a 30 mm cannon and possibly an anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) launcher to the troop carriers - taking into account the necessary modifications to the chassis and hull, without compromising the vehicle's mobility. A response was received in May from GDELS following a request for information (RFI) issued in early 2020. The extent of vehicles to receive both the systems depends on the available budget, Lt Col Camilo explained. Each Pandur II includes STANAG 4569 Level 3 modular ballistic protection add-on as standard.

The EyeCommand Battle Management System (BMS) by local company Critical Software is being added to the fleet as well.

Four troop carriers are to be equipped with an interface system and associated equipment for a manipulator arm, and a mine roller system with ground-penetrating radar from Pearson Engineering, via a 2019 contract between the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) and GDELS. The vehicles are set for delivery from 2022-23 to the Heavy Combat Engineer Company of the Mechanised Brigade to form two road-clearance teams.

The acquisition of Pandur IIs in 120 mm mortar carrier and engineer squad variants is planned between 2027 and 2030.

Gut für das Werk in Wien-Simmering ...

[Robos]

Wieso für das Werk in Simmering? Davon steht da nix geschrieben!

[theoderich]

Wer, glaubst Du, hat die Rechte am "Pandur II 8x8"? Auf jeden Fall nicht GDELS-SBS, GDELS-MOWAG, GDELS Germany oder GDELS-Czech.

[Robos]

Aber die sind doch nicht in Simmering gebaut worden!

[theoderich]

Die "Pandur II" vom letzten Auftrag entstanden teilweise bei Fabrequipa (218 von ursprünglich 260 geplanten "Pandur II" sollten bei Fabrequipa gefertigt werden.), das stimmt. Aber das heißt nicht, dass es so bleiben muss.

Diesmal werden alle in Portugal gebaut!

GDELS hat kein Tochterunternehmen in Portugal. Und Fabrequipa ist 2015 wegen einer Überschuldung von 9 Mio. EUR bei 25 Gläubigern in Konkurs gegangen:
