Paramount Land Systems, a subsidiary of Paramount South Africa, has announced the launch of its long wheel base variant of its Maatla Protected Vehicle (LPV) for the border security requirements of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), during the African Aerospace & Defence Exhibition #AAD2024. The new variant of the Maatla has been designed and developed in response to the South Africa National Defence Force (SANDF) requirements for border patrol missions and counter-insurgency operations, accommodating up to 12 personnel, in a 2+10 configuration due to its additional 675mm length. The Long Wheel Base Maatla is building on the success of the Maatla, launched during AAD 2022, and in operation with two African countries whose border security forces and Gendarmerie are deployed in some of the most challenging security environments on the African continent. The vehicle further leverages more than three decades of Paramount’s engineering excellence in producing iconic, world-leading armoured vehicles for armed forces around the world. The Maatla offers advanced features and reconfigurability, making it the ultimate solution for border patrol and security operations. Built with versatility in mind, the Maatla and its “Smart Floor” technology, enables the vehicle’s seating to be quickly removed and adapted for various assignments, including border patrol, ambulance services, command and control, military support, policing, and peacekeeping missions; from reconnaissance to logistics support to medical evacuation. Paramount's extensive experience over three decades has equipped it to develop tailored, cost-effective solutions that address the unique challenges faced by African armed forces. Internal and border security are our key capabilities, whether it be supplying armoured vehicles, crowd control equipment, surveillance aircraft, forward operating bases, specialist training or fusion cells providing real-time intelligence to support informed decision-making by border security forces. By bolstering our border security solutions with the Maatla, we are able to provide our customers the most comprehensive border security solutions on the continent. #Maatla #armouredvehicles #armoredvehicle #borderpatrol #bordersecurity defenceWeb South African National Defence Force

The first Mwari deployed in Mozambique has returned recently to Paramount’s aircraft production facility at Wonderboom Airport for its major OEM inspection (C-check ).  It was deployed to the north of Mozambique in December 2022 and has since played a key role in counter insurgency operations providing reconnaissance and surveillance support.  Paramount completed pilot training with air crews from Mozambique and new groups of crew has started their training.

Mozambique’s military is the launch customer for Paramount’s Mwari multi-role aircraft, and deployed the aircraft operationally in northern Mozambique in December 2022. Since then, the aircraft has played a key role in counter insurgency operations, providing reconnaissance and surveillance support. https://lnkd.in/db-qeNhT #Mwari

Day 2 #AAD2024 From African roots, Paramount today is a global solutions provider, leveraging our extensive and proven intellectual property base to enable defence industrialisation within its customer countries. Internal and border security are important issues we can assist customers with, whether it be supplying armoured vehicles, crowd control equipment, or surveillance aircraft. With transnational terrorist groups exploiting Africa’s porous borders, enabling weapons, drug smuggling, and human trafficking networks, border security has become a critical concern for African nations. Our focus on domestic security is evident in our contribution to AAD 2024, where we are showcasing a range of solutions, from the Mwari to a new version of the Maatla light armoured vehicle designed for border patrol. These and other innovations can help African governments continue to adapt and innovate in the face of an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape.

Opening Day of #AAD2024 - we are out in full force demonstrating our latest technologies across land, sea and air. We will also be making several announcements about new products, contracts and partnerships. AAD 2024 provides our industry with a unique opportunity to reflect on our world as it is today, not yesterday. As it will be tomorrow, not today. This is a challenge we have always faced, often successfully, but in today’s world we face multiple threats of a different order, requiring the best of our enquiring minds to focus on new #solutions. #AAD2024 also provides a valuable opportunity for professionals and experts across a wide range of sectors to meet and exchange views, as we all learn from each other on occasions such as this. I trust we will all take advantage of this special opportunity to meet up with old friends, make new ones, and refresh our knowledge and commitment to our critically important industry that is central to #peace and #stability around the world.

H.E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the President of Ghana is welcomed by Senior Vice President Eric Ichikowitz to the Paramount stand. Indeed a great privilege to support the Government of Ghana and the Ghana Armed Forces at IDEC2024 in #Accra. At IDEC Eric Ichikowitz will be discussing our solutions to address the challenges of border security. It requires a comprehensive and nuanced approach. Enhanced border security measures must be paired with initiatives tackling underlying social, economic, and environmental challenges.  Investment in technological solutions for border surveillance and security must be coupled with efforts to enhance local capacities and promote regional cooperation. This also requires a localised response that leverages tailor-made, cost-efficient technologies, engineered on African soil for African realities. At Paramount, our three decades of on-the-ground experience have honed our understanding of the unique challenges faced by African armed forces, enabling us to pioneer solutions for asymmetrical warfare before it gained widespread recognition – our expertise is creating operationally relevant solutions suited to African budgets, no matter how constrained. #Ghana #Accra #GhanaArmedForces #bordersecurity #GhanaDefenceForce #army #landforces #airforces #regionalsecurity
