Pandur II 8x8

Czech Republic's Excalibur Army (EA)was among the exhibitors in the recently concluded ADAS 2018.

MaxDefense was able to exclusive information from the their representative during ADAS 2018 regarding projects they are pursuing with the AFP Modernization.

First, Excalibur Army has offered their Pandur 8x8 wheeled armored vehicle for the Philippine Army's Wheeled APC acquisition project under the Horizon 2 phase. EA mentioned that the PA has requested for options of either a manned or unmanned 25mm or 30mm turret, or an RCWS with 50cal. heavy machine gun.




EA is also participating in the Philippine Army's M113 Firepower Upgrade project, offering either 25mm or 30mm manned turret with co-axial 7.62mm machine gun, or RCWS system depending on PA requirements. Apparently for this project the PA prefer a manned turret solution.

They also made a pitch for the M113 Mortar Carrier Upgrade project, offering a 120mm mortar system.

Another interesting product in their line-up is the ReTWis5, which allows soldiers to detect people behind a barrier or wall. This is very useful in counterterrorist or urban warfare operations, considering that it is also portable.
