🖨️✨ The British Army used 3D printers to produce spare parts and modify field vehicles and equipment during NATO’s Exercise Steadfast Defender in Sennelager, Germany. The cold metal printers, manufactured by SPEE3D, can print batches of mechanical parts in a matter of hours, as opposed to relying on metalsmiths to make the parts by hand. “This equipment gives the Army the flexibility it needs to make spares, components, and modifications to our equipment in the field, at point and time of need,” Lieutenant Colonel John Anthistle MSc CEng MIET explained. “Not only does it save us weeks and sometimes months of having to wait for replacement parts, it also enables us to print components which aren’t available anymore; conduct battle damage repair, and modify equipment to match changing threats,” he added. #military #army #defensetech #defencetech #militarytech #technology #innovation #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #uk #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting #nato

🇩🇪💪 VINCORION has signed a 12-million euro deal to supply the German Army’s Boxer armored fighting vehicles with onboard generators. More than 700 EPG huskyV W 600 generators are set to be delivered, with potential additional orders bringing the total to 1,000 units. Aside from managing the Boxer’s energy supply, the 600-ampere system will power the vehicles’ various mission modules. “Delivery of the generator for the Boxer is a very important order for us,” VINCORION managing director Dr. Stefan Stenzel said. “This tells us demand for the Boxer remains high. It also shows that manufacturers of modern military technology are placing their trust in VINCORION components and are using these to equip their vehicles.” #military #techology #militarytechnology #militarytech #innovation #defense #defence #defenseindustry #defenceindustry #germany #boxer #fightingvehicle #generator

South Korea's defense giant, Hanwha Aerospace, and Malaysian special vehicle manufacturer Cendana Auto have joined forces to modernize the Malaysian Army's aging K200 tracked infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs). This strategic partnership aims to upgrade these vehicles, which have faithfully served for over three decades. An agreement was recently inked by the two companies in early August 2024, marking a significant step towards enhancing Malaysia's defense capabilities. The Malaysian Army is the only export customer of the K200, having received around 111 vehicles from South Korea in the 1990s. The army later acquired an additional batch of upgraded K200A1 IFVs, featuring an improved powerpack, reinforced armor, and NBC protection. The current modernization initiative is viewed as a continuation of efforts to keep the fleet operational. #HanwhaAerospace #CendanaAuto #MalaysianArmy #DefenseModernization #MilitaryUpgrade #defense #defence #military #engineering #technology #technologies #armor #protection #malysia #southkorea #army

#ICYMI, my Tension Dynamics cofounders Jason Economou, Michael Vindler, Wes Brown and I have been spending some time with Letterkenny Army Depot. Awesome folks who are doing important work to keep America's military equipment running smoothly. In this photo, Jason Economou is demonstrating a person lift with a prototype that isn't at all designed to do that. What should we lift or move next? #Comment below.
Last month, #TeamLEAD personnel from the Directorate of Strategic Management hosted an industry partner who prototyped a lightweight linear actuator capable of lifting heavy equipment through the U.S. Army's Small Business Innovation Research program. The prototype's portable form and figure will allow depot artisans to repair military assets more easily while engaged in forward repair activity, ensuring Soldiers receive the assistance they need, regardless of location. #ContinuousTransformation #ArmyReadiness
