A ce moment, il n'est pas claire s'ils sont des vehicules de BAE UK ou BAE North America ou BAE South Africa ou BAE Sweden. Pour le NCW, a mon avis les deux parts de BAE qui offre ces choses sont BAE UK et BAE North America.

LONDON [MENL] -- Saudi Arabia has ordered a network centric warfare system and armored combat vehicles in contracts that approach $500 million.

BAE Systems has received two contracts signed in 2006 that stipulated a range of equipment to the Saudi military. Executives identified the non-government contracts as the sale of the Tactica armored vehicle and a command, control, communications, computer and intelligence system to Riyad.

"We finished [2006] by securing approval for two other contracts that fall outside the government-to-government arrangements for a C4ISR program and Tactica armored vehicles," BAE Systems chief executive officer Mike Turner said.

Turner said the two contracts were drafted in 2006 and were not part of the Al Yamamah program, an oil-for-weapons deal that has brought an estimated $86 billion in aircraft, ships, training and maintenance to Saudi Arabia since 1987. He would not elaborate.

Le Tactica est un produit de BAE Systems Land Systems UK (le Tactica etait du "Glover-Webb Limited" et maintenant il est du BAE Systems) et il est en service avec le UK, Ghana, Indonesia, Kuwait, Singapore, Mauritius, Norway et en avenir l'Arabie-Saoudite. Je ne sais pas si le NCW est un produit de BAE en le UK.

Land Systems UK products include Challenger 2, CRARRV, Warrior, CVRT, FV430, Panther, TITAN, TROJAN, M777, TERRIER, Panther, bridging systems, Tactica, and 105mm Light Gun, with through life support services.

The Tactica family is a complete range of versatile, cost-effective 4x4 wheeled vehicles ideally suited for use by military forces in many roles. Its armour protection, reliability, and impressive on and off road mobility make it ideally suited to military roles.

ERGONOMICS

Ormis la famille des véhicules tactica que je ne connaissais pas, merci pour l'info! Le communiqué évoque un "network centric warfare system" qu'est ce? un système de numérisation ou juste un réseau de communication?

un système de numérisation ou juste un réseau de communication?

Mr. Mike Turner (CEO du BAE Systems) a dit que c'est une programme C4ISR. C4ISR est: "Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance". J'espere que ca t'aide.
