Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH
Today’s armed forces face a whole host of highly demanding operational parameters, confronting designers of modern military vehicles with major challenges. On the one hand, tactical vehicles require better protection from a variety of new threats; on the other, they have to be readily deployable to remote corners of the globe. Moreover, they need to be extremely manoeuvrable when operating off-road, carry a large payload and pack plenty of firepower; having a network-enabled warfare capability is likewise critically important. Responding to these challenges, Rheinmetall has created new families of modularly engineered, multimission-capable vehicles, thus simultaneously streamlining military logistics.
Our customer-oriented logistics services guarantee optimum operational readiness and a long service life for all products supplied by Rheinmetall Defence. The company’s logistical reach spans the globe, to include in-theatre support for NATO and UN missions in conflict zones and crisis regions.
