Marshall Land Systems Features Full Range at land Warfare 2010 in Brisbane

Vehicle Systems, Integrated Shelter Systems, UGVs and through life support all featured on stand 33b

Brisbane, Australia 15th November 2010; Vehicle systems, integrated shelter systems, unmanned ground vehicles, through life capability support and equipment regeneration will all be featured on stand 33b by Marshall Land Systems Australia during the Land Warfare Conference being held at the Brisbane Conference Centre, Brisbane, Queensland from 15th to 19th November 2010.

The company’s capabilities in shelter based solutions include command and control systems, where the company fully integrates complex C4I systems into shelters providing all the necessary utilities and services, such as power, and fully environmentally controlled work areas and optimises the man machine interface to enable the operators to work at maximum efficiency. Other solutions range from fully fitted workshops to turnkey field hospital systems complete with operating theatres, sterilising units, high dependency areas, medical laboratories and CT Scanner facilities. Common to all solutions is the ability to provide full EMC and RFI protection and ballistic and blast protection if needed. The solutions are always designed with the full involvement of the user.

Marshall Land Systems has developed a range of vehicle logistics solutions including load beds, fully integrated equipment handling systems and tail lifts ensuring that new and legacy equipments integrate seamlessly. Its experience ranges from the MAN Support Vehicles, which are in service with British Forces in Afghanistan and saw service in Iraq; to the Thales Bushmaster, the Iveco Light Multirole Vehicle and Utility Vehicle, the Renault Defence Sherpa Light and the Wolfhound Tactical Support Vehicle which has recently entered service in Afghanistan together with a range of military Land Rover variants.

The capability in Unmanned Ground Vehicles includes logistics support, surveillance, communications re-broadcast and Explosive Ordnance Disposal. Featured on the stand is TRAKKAR. A four wheel drive logistic vehicle, TRAKKAR is capable of carrying 250kg. It utilises “follow-me” technology, which enables it to reduce the burden for the dismounted soldier carrying their heavy loads. Once programmed it follows an individual without further input from him unless the task is changed The “remote control” allows the operator to manoeuvre it into position to carryout a range of other tasks. QUESTAR is a fast, agile surveillance vehicle which can travel on either tracks or wheels at up to 40kph. It can be fitted with a range of surveillance assets.

Supporting these capabilities is a full through life support capability not only for Marshall Land Systems solutions but also third party products. Included in this service is the ability to upgrade systems which have not kept pace with advances in technology but also those in need of full refurbishment to enable them to continue to provide service in the future without the expense of purchasing a new system.
