BAE Systems New Global Tactical Vehicle Makes Its Debut

LONDON, UK: BAE Systems brings combat-proven operational pedigree and the latest environmental technology to the European market with the new Euro V compliant Global Tactical Vehicle (GTV).

The latest addition to the company’s Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) is on display on the BAE Systems stand at the Defence Systems & Equipment International 2009 (DSEi) exhibition.

The tough Euro V emission control regulations on engine design call for lower levels of carbon particulates, nitrous oxides, carbon monoxide and unburnt hydrocarbons. “The GTV maximumizes tactical mobility and operational capability while meeting stringent emission control regulations,” said Dennis Morris, BAE Systems President, Global Tactical Systems. “This is a new generation of military vehicles.”

With 45,000 vehicles produced by BAE Systems for the United States, worldwide parts, service and support are readily available.

The GTV also features the Long Term Armour Solution (LTAS). The key benefit of the LTAS solution is that it allows for rapid conversion from a performance truck to a highly protected tactical armoured vehicle without compromising load capability, mission certainty or weight-related safety.

The GTV also includes seats and seating restraints meeting current international safety legislation. The GTV features the Mine Blast Resistant Seat (MBRS) and 4-point restraint system, which is easily modified to accept a 5-point restraint and is produced by BAE Systems’ Security & Survivability business. The MBRS is easily resettable and lightweight, and integrates the energy absorbing system into the seat itself. With more than $7 Million in orders to date, the MBRS is designed to fit a wide variety of vehicles and is proving to be successful in the global defense market.

GTV is based on a fleet of combat-proven, armour-protected logistic tactical vehicles and is designed to incorporate modifications according to customer specifications.

BAE Systems is the premier global defence, security and aerospace company delivering a full range of products and services for air, land and naval forces, as well as advanced electronics, security, information technology solutions and customer support services. With approximately 105,000 employees worldwide, BAE Systems’ sales exceeded £18.5 billion (US $34.4 billion) in 2008.
