Nueva Zelanda busca reemplazo para sus Unimog 4x4

NZDF solicita a la industria propuestas para reemplazar los camiones Unimog

Defensa ha emitido una solicitud de propuestas a la industria para reemplazar los viejos camiones Mercedes Benz Unimog en la flota de vehículos de apoyo de guarnición y entrenamiento del país.

La información recopilada mediante este proceso se utilizará para desarrollar un análisis de negocios final para consideración del Gobierno. 

 

"La solicitud de propuestas de hoy se centra en la adquisición de al menos 45 camiones todoterreno de tamaño mediano, que se convertirán en una parte fundamental de las operaciones diarias de la Fuerza de Defensa de Nueva Zelanda (NZDF)", afirmó Sarah Minson, subsecretaria de Entrega de Capacidades.

 

El Mercedes Benz Unimog ha sido durante mucho tiempo un vehículo de trabajo fiable en la flota de vehículos de apoyo a la guarnición y la formación, pero ya tiene más de 40 años y cada vez es más poco fiable y difícil de mantener. 

 

Defensa está pidiendo a la industria que también proporcione propuestas para el mantenimiento completo y el soporte durante toda la vida útil de la flota, en múltiples campamentos y bases de la NZDF.

 

La NZDF utilizará los vehículos a diario para entrenamiento y para el transporte de personas y equipos dentro y entre campamentos y bases. Los camiones también serán un importante vehículo de transporte durante las operaciones nacionales de búsqueda y rescate, así como en misiones humanitarias y de socorro en caso de desastres, declaró Sarah Minson.

 

La nueva flota no está destinada a operaciones en alta mar. Otros proyectos, como el Proyecto de Capacidad de Movilidad Protegida, proporcionarán vehículos desplegables.

Camiones Zetros alemanes para Ucrania

 

Alemania está equipando al ejército ucraniano con camiones Zetros

 

Alemania apoya a Ucrania mediante el suministro de camiones Zetros de las existencias de la Bundeswehr.

El gobierno de Alemania informó que 60 de estos camiones ya fueron entregados a las Fuerzas Armadas de Ucrania.

Los camiones del ejército se envían en lotes de aproximadamente 8 unidades.


En los suministros a Ucrania, a menudo se hace hincapié en las armas, pero las unidades ucranianas también tienen una gran necesidad de camiones. En tiempos de guerra, la logística es tan importante como las armas.

Los camiones son fabricados por Daimler AG. Están acostumbrados a trabajar en condiciones todoterreno extremas.

Las fuerzas terrestres alemanas encargaron 110 versiones blindadas de los Mercedes-Benz Zetros, 72 de las cuales servirán como unidades logísticas.

El equipo tiene una disposición que proporciona un rápido acceso al motor para su reparación y una mejor estabilidad del coche.


De un camión se puede hacer una grúa, una grúa, una cuna, un generador móvil, un volquete, una gasolinera, etc.

El camión tiene dos versiones de la fórmula de la rueda, diferentes longitudes de la distancia entre ejes y dos motores diésel, con una capacidad de 326 y 428 hp, que ya cumplen con los estándares Euro-5.

El modelo 4x4 puede llevar a bordo hasta 10 toneladas. Camión de tres ejes: más de 16 toneladas. Remolca un camión y semirremolques. Pero no particularmente pesado, con vehículos blindados ligeros o con ruedas.

Zetros está disponible en tres versiones: Zetros 1833A (4×4), Zetros 2733A (6×6), Zetros 2743A (6×6).

Como recordatorio, Bélgica enviará 240 camiones militares Volvo a Ucrania. Se utilizarán para entregar tropas y equipo.

Australia avanza en el proyecto de camiones autónomos

Autonomous Truck Project Passes Major Milestone

Australian Army to develop autonomous trucks (photo : Aus Army)


A $3.5 million Australian Army project to develop a convoy of autonomous trucks that use technology to follow the leader has passed a key milestone by successfully completing a series of road trials.

The autonomous leader-follower vehicle technology, using modified Land 121 40M cargo trucks, was developed under a contract between the Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation (IISRI) at Deakin University, and Army’s Robotic and Autonomous Systems Implementation and Coordination Office (RICO).

The trials took place over a two-week period at Defence’s Trials and Proving establishment at Monegeetta, Victoria, and involved a five-vehicle convoy.

Minister for Defence Industry Melissa Price said the development of robotic and autonomous systems were vital to meeting Australia’s future operational challenges, including for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, and in combat operations.

“The completion of this assessment within one year of the allocation of the funding demonstrates the strong industry and Defence partnerships in experimentation, prototyping and exploration of autonomous vehicle and new technologies,” Minister Price said.

“These technologies are ‘disruptive technologies’ that provide marked advantages on the modern battlefield by bolstering ADF capability while protecting Australian personnel.

“This is exactly the type of capability that the Morrison Government announced in the four new Sovereign Industrial Capability Priorities which will help to build a robust, resilient and internationally competitive defence industry in Australia.”

Army, through RICO, continues to work with IISRI and the Australian Road Research Board on the potential transfer of the capability testing onto public roads with further refinement, performance enhancement and understanding of road rules.

“There are a number of technical and regulatory challenges to address to get these platforms into common use,” Minister Price said.

“The ongoing efforts will enable Army to navigate these challenges.”

The Army said the vehicles will augment the Army’s existing mobility assets and were temporarily issued to the Army Support Command (ASCOM) to further increase its mobility readiness and to be utilized in the operations against the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.

“KM250s, along with their other counterparts, have become synonymous to the Army’s sustainment operations. These 2 ½ ton-workhorses are all over the country – in Internal Security Operations, development efforts, reliefs, partnerships, and now in our pandemic operations. Let us take care of our vehicles, and keep them always on top working condition. As more transports enable us to become more mobile, we ensure that our service keeps rolling smoothly,” Lieutenant General Gapay said.

Japan May Offer Military Trucks to ASEAN

JGSDF military truck 

TOKYO -- Japan, trying to enhance defense cooperation with Southeast Asia, wants to offer ASEAN nations second-hand transport vehicles from its Ground Self Defense Force.

The government plans to pass a bill during the current Diet session that would allow Japan to donate defense equipment to foreign partners.

Japan wants to talk with recipient countries -- such as the Philippines, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia -- as early as this summer.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations is a 10-member bloc.

The vehicles would likely be trucks and dump trucks that can handle rough terrain.

The government is also considering whether to send SDF troops to the recipient countries so they can train their ASEAN counterparts on handling the vehicles.

Japan had effectively banned arms exports, but in 2014 greatly relaxed the restriction by adopting three principles on the transfer of defense equipment and technology.

The relaxation did not cover donations of equipment -- something the government now wants to do.

China has long provided free secondhand military vehicles to ASEAN members in an apparent effort to increase its influence.
