NTGS, the manufacturer of the ALAKRAN mobile mortar system and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) defence conglomerate, ERAF, signed a partnership agreement to manufacture and integrate the ALAKRAN on a suitable vehicle platform, locally in the KSA. In line with Saudi Vision 2030, the agreement will help boost the economy through locally sourced parts and manpower. With ERAF taking the lead, the local enterprise will exclusively market ALAKRAN in the KSA with the intent to supply the KSA Armed Forces. The agreement was signed by Juan Carlos Estrella, CEO of NTGS, and Fahad Al-Ameel, Vice-President of ERAF at the World Defence Show, held between 4-8 February 2024, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where the ALAKRAN is being showcased on ERAF stand XB5. ALAKRAN is a versatile and resilient system, engineered with mission-critical capabilities to counter the key tactical challenges encountered on the high intensity modern battlefield. The fully digital and automated mortar system is user-friendly and proven to be effective in a broad spectrum of operational environments including urban, desert, forest, mountainous and snow. ALAKRAN is combat-proven and currently ‘in-service’ in several active war zones around the globe. It can easily be integrated onto almost any 4×4 vehicle with a minimum 2-ton payload, and out-performs competitors by utilising patented technological breakthroughs to deliver superior mobility, precision, accuracy, firepower, and crew safety. #military #defense #defence #militaryleak https://lnkd.in/gF_N4ZwX

Helsinki Security Forum 2024 opened with an engaging discussion “Towards a Total Defence of Europe.” The panel focused on how the growing complexities of societal security call for a renewed approach to total defence – one that goes beyond military concerns and engages all sectors of society. Our distinguished speakers addressed the importance of a whole-of-society approach to national defence, emphasising that preparedness must extend across every sector, including organisations, NGOs, and civilians. Moderated by Charly Salonius-Pasternak Finnish Institute of International Affairs - FIIA the panel featured: Janne Jaakkola, Chief of Defence of Puolustusvoimat - Försvarsmakten - Finnish Defence Forces Marta Kepe, Senior Defence Analyst at RAND Andrus Merilo, Chief of Defence of Estonian Defence Forces Charlotte Petri Gornitzka, Director General at MSB (Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency) Major General Andrus Merilo reminded the audience that awareness and preparedness alone are not enough to deter threats: “Situational awareness must always be translated into situational understanding.” Watch the #HSF2024 panel here: https://lnkd.in/dBuJGfum

FACTS: Did you know that the EL AL, Israel's national carrier, has taken extraordinary measures to ensure the safety and security of its passengers and crew? The installation of missile defense systems on its planes is a unique precautionary measure, given the geopolitical context of the region. EL AL's commitment to safety and security extends beyond missile defense systems. The airline is renowned for its rigorous security protocols, including: 1. Intensive passenger screening and questioning 2. Advanced baggage scanning and inspection 3. Armed air marshals on board 4. Reinforced cockpit doors 5. Regular security drills and training for crew members These measures have earned EL AL a reputation as one of the world's safest airlines, and it's a testament to the airline's dedication to protecting its passengers and crew. #AviationSecurity #AirlineSafety #Israel 🇮🇱 #TravelSafety #DefenseSystems

”Australia's highest defence plans - each of which has claimed to be a 'major shake-up' of basic strategic assumptions - have a lifespan of around 1000 days. As a consequence, the single biggest financial risk to Australian defence industry right now is not the workforce shortage. It is not supply chain constraints; not even the time and money invested in unsuccessful bids for defence contracts. The biggest risk to industry is actually winning a government contract, and then having that contract fall to a strategic review. In other words, the greatest risk to industry in this country is government. And as industry ultimately deliver capability to the ADF, government has become its own greatest capability risk.”

Within our Defence Region we take the health, safety and wellbeing of our teams and our supply chain extremely seriously. Each and every day, Safety and Safe Working is simply our primary objective. During this VINCI International Safety Week, along with VINCI colleagues from around the world, teams across the establishments we manage have taken time out to talk about our current safety practice and how we continue to nurture our zero-harm culture. As the trusted maintenance management organisation for our Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) customer and the military personnel we support across the South-East of England, we are also constantly mindful of how we minimise risk to the lived experience of service personnel, both in terms of the services we deliver and how we conduct works safely in live operational environments. Taking time to communicate specific risks, in specific places around specific circumstances continues to help us control and minimise the likelihood of harm. Time very well spent - thanks to all involved. Work safe - Live well. #safety #vincidefence #vincifacilities #internationalsafetyweek #defencerelationshipmanagement #military #MOD #DIO #RFCA #collaboration

𝗢𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰! The recent delivery of 14 Australian-made Bushmaster protected mobility vehicles to Fiji by HMAS Choules isn't just a defence initiative; it's a genuine opportunity for Australian SMEs. This landmark delivery not only strengthens regional security and our relationship with #Fiji, but it also shows the high quality and demand for Australian-made defence equipment. This success story opens doors for SMEs like yours to expand into the Pacific market, providing valuable products and services to a growing customer base. The Thales Australia made vehicle has required an extensive Australian supply chain to support its development, manufacture and sustainment throughout the years - and it’s these kinds of projects that present real opportunities for your SME to get involved. The upcoming 50th anniversary celebrations of the Tongan Royal Navy, where HMAS Choules will represent Australia, offers a platform to connect with potential partners and clients in the region. Whilst there is plenty of opportunity in Australian Defence projects, the potential to get involved in export markets really opens up the possibility of larger scale contracts. #AustralianDefenceIndustry #PacificPartnerships #SMEOpportunities #DefenceExports
