SELEX Galileo has a track record of working
with Brunei, having already sold infrared sensors for the
Royal Brunei Air Force’s Mistral missiles and, in
conjunction with FNSS of Turkey, conducted trials of its
situational awareness equipment on the ACV300 vehicle being
evaluated by the Royal Brunei Army. The Company is now working
to further boost its presence in the region by targeting
a range of key programmes.

Show visitors will be able to see SELEX
Galileo’s Road Marshall integrated vehicle situational
awareness system for land vehicles. The system uses a combination
of electro optics and acoustic sensors to provide 360°
coverage around the vehicle. Many of the sub-systems integrated
into the solution are fully combat proven and in service
with UK and other Armed Forces.
The Road Marshall system on display also features a Long
Range Reconnaissance (LRR) sensor capable of detecting and
tracking vehicles, personnel and aircraft in both day and
night, an acoustic shot detection system and a Remotely-operated
Weapon Station (RWS) which can be fitted with a wide range
of small and medium calibre armaments.
The RWS can be automatically aimed in the direction of any
threat identified by the shot detection system and is fitted
with the high performance Surveillance and Target Acquisition
and Weapon aiming Sensor (STAWS) to provide 24 hour operation.
The modular Road Marshall solution can be optimised for
any wheeled or tracked vehicle.
