Minister Kehoe travels to Switzerland to visit companies involved with equipment projects for the Defence Forces (12. April 2018)
The Minister with Responsibility for Defence, Mr. Paul Kehoe T.D., together with the Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces, Vice Admiral Mark Mellett DSM, and senior representatives from the Department of Defence and the Defence Forces travelled to Switzerland today to visit two companies involved with major equipment projects for the Irish Defence Forces.
The Minister will then travel to Kreuzlingen where he will visit the General Dynamics Europe Land Systems (GDELS - MOWAG) facility tomorrow. A maintenance and upgrade programme in respect of the Defence Forces’ fleet of MOWAG Piranha IIIH Armoured Personnel Carriers is currently underway with GDELS-MOWAG, following the signing of a contract in 2016 at a cost of €55m excluding VAT. The eighty-strong fleet was procured from GDELS-MOWAG from 2001 – 2007 and it represents the primary operational equipment capability of the Army. The maintenance and upgrade programme is being undertaken to increase force protection and to ensure the viability of the Pirahna IIIH fleet out to 2030.

Copenhagen Sensor Technology A/S selected for Irish MoD LSAS program

Copenhagen Sensor Technology A/S (CST) has been awarded a contract with General Dynamics European Land Systems – Mowag (GDELS-Mowag) to provide Local Situational Awareness System (LSAS) for the Irish Defence Forces Piranha III APC upgrade. This program is set with a delivery plan from 2017 – 2021.

Following negotiations, CST was selected as the preferred supplier by GDELS-Mowag for the LSAS which will provide local situational awareness for each vehicle consisting of both day & night capacity, IR lamps, multi-functional digital displays, matrix and cable set. Images from all sensors can be shared around the vehicle. The functional display can be customized to suit the user / operator’s requirements and multiple images can be viewed on screen to provide maximum information as required.

The structure of the system allows the operator to plug and play with different sensors and will allow future updates as required.

All mission systems will include CST’s Citadel Quattour Cam, which can support both day & night operations, colour and thermal imaging capability to enable the driver and crew members of the vehicle to operate safely and with confidence in all weather conditions. In addition, the mission system will consist of Citadel compact cameras to support a 360-degree surveillance in order to secure, as well as support all crew members during operations.

CST builds upon systems delivered to other customers worldwide, to provide situational awareness systems to the vehicle crew-members with key-words being safety for operators.

“It is with great pleasure for CST to announce this partnership with GDELS-Mowag to supply a complete situational awareness system for the Irish Piranha III upgrade program” says Klaus Aude, Vice President Business Development at CST.

  • Ireland risks backlash over defence deal with Israelis (20. September 2009)
    A company based in Haifa, Elbit Systems Ltd, has won the multi-million euro contract to supply the Defence Forces with equipment to be mounted on a new fleet of RG-32M armoured vehicles that are being built in South Africa.
    The surveillance equipment, to be mounted on some of the initial fleet of 27 new Irish armoured vehicles which are being bought for €19.6m from BAE Systems South Africa, will, according to tender documents from the Department of Defence, provide more accuracy for directing artillery fire.

    The documents said: "The Defence Forces are cognisant of the requirement for increasing degrees of accuracy, which are required for effective target acquisition, thus avoiding collateral damage, particularly in robust peace support operations."

    The surveillance pods will have a range of devices, including a laser range finder, GPS, a long-range day/night sensor observation capability, all mounted in the cargo pod of the vehicle with an extending mast.

    Vol. 700 No. 4

    Minister for Defence (Deputy Willie O’Dea) [...] My Department initiated a tender competition in 2009 for the supply of Surveillance and Target Acquisition equipment for four out of a total of twenty seven Light Tactical Armoured Vehicles that are being supplied by BAE Systems in South Africa. Following a detailed evaluation of tenders, the contract for the award of the equipment, with a value of €2.37m inclusive of VAT, was awarded to Elbit Systems Limited in Israel. The four Surveillance and Target Acquisition Suites are required to enhance the capability of the Defence Forces to carry out overseas Peace Support Operations. They will be used as an information-gathering asset and will provide a means to enhance force protection and the safety of Irish troops whilst on such missions.

  • CON/038/2013 - Ground Surveillance Radar (GSR) for the Irish Defence Forces

    https://irl.eu-supply.com/ctm/Supplier/ ... ERS_SIMPLE
    • The GSR must be capable of interfacing and integrating with current Defence Forces C2 systems, VHF, HF and Broadband radios (SINCGAR 1702E, Harris HF Falcon 2 5800H and Harris Falcon 3 RF7800M), also the DF Tactical Battlefield Management System (TBMS) and be compliant with the Multilateral Interoperability Programme (MIP). In particular the system must be compatible with the DF Fire Control Computer System (FCCS) and Surveillance Target Acquisition (STA) suite, currently in use by the Artillery Corps, as supplied by Elbit Systems (Israel). This STA suite is incorporated into the STA variant of the BAE RG32M vehicle.
      n. The GSR must be capable of being simply mounted on the Artillery STA and Cavalry Light Tactical Armoured Vehicles variants, along with the Cavalry Mowag Platform. In all cases the GSR must be capable of sympathetic mounting so as not to interfere with the Pod & Telescopic mast, NAPS (Navigational and Positioning system) and other equipment which is already positioned on the roof of the BAE RG32M vehicle.

Vol. 630 No. 4

Minister for Defence (Mr. O’Dea) [...]

The Defence Forces also operate the AMSTAR Ground Surveillance Radar. This is a man portable system used mainly by Artillery Observers for target acquisition and tracking. It is capable of detecting vehicles depending on type at ranges of 12 –35 KM, Helicopters at ranges of 10 –18 KM and Infantry at 7-12 KM. It has been deployed on Peace Support Operations in UNMIL. There are eight (8) of these radars in service with the Defence Forces.
