GDELS to exhibit at FEINDEF 25 in Madrid

General Dynamics European Land Systems (GDELS) is going to exhibit at the International Defence & Security Exhibition FEINDEF in Madrid from May 12th to 14th. FEINDEF is Spain’s leading defense tradeshow, with high relevance for the domestic market, but also for the European neighbors and the Spanish-speaking world.

On their home ground, Madrid-headquartered GDELS and its local subsidiary Santa Bárbara Sistemas take the opportunity to contribute with an impressive display of new and proven capabilities, reflecting their firm commitment to the Spanish Armed Forces and to the defense industrial strategy defined by the Spanish Government.

GDELS’ Military Mobility solutions are based on European technology with flexible localization schemes for production and integration as currently proven under the Spanish VCR 8x8 DRAGÓN program, among many others.

We look forward to presenting our newest innovation in the field of tracked armored artillery systems. This world premiere is scheduled for Monday, May 12th at 11:30am.

Make sure you don’t miss this spectacular revelation taking place on our GDELS booth as well as simultaneously on our new company website (www.gdels.com).

Also showcased for the very first time at a public event will be the PIRANHA Advanced Artillery Carrier (AAC), which brings together the PIRANHA HMC 10x10 platform with the fully-automated 155 mm / L52 Artillery Gun Module AGM from KNDS – the perfect combination of firepower and mobility. The 10x10 multi-link PIRANHA platform with four steerable axles ensures highest mobility on- and off-road, including a turning circle of only 18 meters. The 360° azimuth, shoot & scoot, firing on the move, real MRSI, direct targeting, and engagement of moving targets underline the system’s outstanding artillery capabilities.

The EAGLE 6x6 is the larger version of this longproven tactical vehicle family. It is in service or under contract with Switzerland, Germany, and Luxembourg in the tactical reconnaissance and MEDEVAC roles. Equally adaptable, mobile, and protected as its 4x4 counterpart, it features generous interior volume and up to six tons of mission payload, making it an all-round platform for a broad range of scenarios.

The PANDUR 6x6 EVO is a compact, powerful wheeled armored vehicle with high speed onroad and outstanding all-terrain mobility. It forms the backbone of the Austrian Armed Forces’ medium mechanized forces and, along with its larger 8x8 version, is in service with many other users around the globe in a variety of roles, reaching from reconnaissance and APC to antitank and air-defense. The PANDUR EVO features STANAG-certified ballistic and integrated mine protection, an internal drive train, and optional amphibious capability.

We have the pleasure of inviting you to attend our booth events in Hall 10 D02.

Make sure you don’t miss the WORLD PREMIERE of our new tracked artillery vehicle on Monday May 12 at 11:30am, our INDUSTRY DAY on Tuesday May 13 at 12:00am, and finally our RECRUITMENT EVENT on Wednesday May 14 at 12:30am.

GDELS takes the occasion of FEINDEF to introduce the new, modernized company logo and to launch the new company web site. The five-letter logo continues to signify best-in-class technology developed and manufactured in Europe for the world and reconfirms GDELS’ core qualities: excellence, reliability, and agility made in Europe.
