UK Ministry of Defence Strengthens Collaboration with G3 Systems for Additional Mobile Brake Testing Systems.

The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has awarded a new contract to G3 Systems Limited, a British company specializing in deployable solutions, for the supply of six additional Mobile Roller Brake Testing (MRBT) systems. These systems are crucial for testing the braking capabilities of military vehicles, forming part of the Ministry’s ongoing efforts to enhance operational infrastructure and ensure the safety of vehicles deployed on various missions.

The contract was awarded by the MoD's Operational Infrastructure team under Project AMPHORA, building upon previous work completed by G3 Systems. In 2018, the company was initially tasked with delivering twelve MRBT systems.

The new contract, signed in June 2024, will see the delivery of six additional units by March 2025. These containerized systems will meet current regulations, including compatibility with generic operational base architecture such as Field Electrical Power Supply (FEPS), and adhere to the stringent requirements of SIM 14.

The MRBT systems will enable military personnel to test vehicles weighing up to 20 tons per axle under operational conditions, ensuring compliance with safety standards, even when deployed.

Designed to be operational within two hours and ready to move in less than one hour, these units require only two trained operators. They meet the standards set by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) for inspecting and maintaining braking systems in heavy vehicles, making them suitable for both commercial and military applications.

Nick Rose, Managing Director of G3 Systems, emphasized the significance of the contract, reflecting the Ministry of Defence’s commitment to utilizing industry expertise to maintain a reliable and secure military infrastructure.
