Within
the French Army, these flagship products • like VBL (Light Armored
Vehicle) - are used on daily basis in operation, for intelligence, patrol
or combat purposes. Therefore, over 1,600 VBLs are operated in the French
Army, most often in armored units. On the other hand it is worth mentioning
that 700 VBLs are operating in about fifteen countries, in particular
in the Middle East, for very different kinds of missions.
The PANHARD range has been increased by delivering PVP (Small Protected Vehicle), a four-wheel drive tactical liaison vehicle, whose purpose consists in being used in the most sensitive missions, in particular within the ISAF Force in Afghanistan.

Recently,
PANHARD has developed the WASP remote-controlled cupola, which is an answer
to the self- defense requirement for light-armored-vehicles, and tactical
transportation assets, in France and for export. Weighing less than 50
kg, fitted with an IR (Infro-Red) camera, the WASP enables middle-range
observation. The Wasp system can be mounted on board an armored vehicle
very easily, as the control display operated by the vehicle commander
or by any other crew-member is the only device to be set up. The WASP
is designed to be armed with a 30-caliber machine-gun.
PANHARD keeps a steady growth in a world dynamic market. This growth, together with the company's financial strength, enables the Company to keep its leadership on the light-armored-vehicle market in Europe. |
