Modern conflict requires workspaces and logistic areas including hospitals and medical systems that are protected against EMP, EMC, EMI, IEDs and CBRN as well as blast, fragments and bullets, and climatic and environmental challenges. MSV military and security vehicles and protective shelters cover three primary areas: protected workspace - mainly integrated vehicle and ground based shelters, protected logistics - mainly specialist vehicles and load beds, and capability development such as consulting, robotics, UORs, UGVs, UAVs and EODs. Defence vehicle and shelter manufacturingMSV has two major manufacturing sites: one is 28,000m², and the other 12,800m². Both are flexible and easily re-configured to manufacture defence vehicles and shelters. State-of-the-art equipment reduces costs and improves quality and agility in delivery and response. Robotic welding, the largest dip facilities for phosphate coating treatments and painting in Europe and the latest metal cutting and bending facilities all contribute to one of the most modern European manufacturing capabilities. Specialist vehicle and shelter engineering servicesMSV’s engineering excellence in military and specialist vehicles and shelters is internationally acknowledged. Our design team delivers innovative integrated solutions designed for manufacture and support to complex vehicle and shelter problems. MSV’s full range of CAD CAM facilities that has been favourably reported on in the specialist press enables it to rapidly turn concepts into integrated military reality. A recent example was where a company delivered a hand draw general arrangement sketch and 12 days later received a working prototype of a UAV with a full defence standard data pack. UGV engineeringMSV’s engineering capability has also been demonstrated in the field of UGVs. An MSV UGV was part of Team Stella which recently won the UK MoD’s Grand Challenge for autonomous reconnaissance in hazardous areas. MSV’s Capability Development team specializes in urgent operational requirements and EOD systems. An MSV deployable power pack testing and repair facility used by the UK MoD met an urgent operational requirement and improved the UK MoD capability on operations. MSV’s design arm MSDG’s UGVs fulfill a number of specialist EOD roles. The design team is part of team LM which is delivering a loitering UAV to the UK MoD based on an MSV-designed UAV. Radios for military vehicles and sheltersElectronic engineering skills are deployed to position radios in vehicles and shelters to prevent interference with other equipment, selection and placement of components should prevent interference with other systems and design systems architecture for EW and communications systems. Specialist vehicle consultancyWith a wide range of operational skills and specializations MSV has an enviable record in consultancy which has been drawn on by MODs and defence contractors around the World. New beach armoured recovery systems, drive trains and weapon systems for armoured vehicles and safety cases for heavy transport vehicle are all examples of the consultancy work carried out by MSV. Defence equipment and vehicle testing servicesWith both portable and fixed emission test chambers MSV can help companies and MoD’s assess the electronic signature of equipment and also test to see that there is not likely to be interference between one system and its components and another. With access to similar capabilities in a number of other areas MSV is able to test and certify defence equipment and vehicles for use.
