ALPHA ARMOURING
The highly sophisticated CMMSystem onboard a mobile fortress
Complex threat scenarios demand highly sophisticated solutions What is the status of sensitive borders?
For all intents and purposes, there are no more borders in Europe. The borders to neighbouring countries in the European Union are more porous than ever. Europeans, as well as citizens of other countries, enjoy a high level of freedom. Securing borders is a must. The walls and fences of the past are being increasingly replaced by state-of-the-art sensor technology. However, this technology is not limited to border operations; it can also be deployed domestically, to protect critical infrastructure for example.
How does the Alpha Armouring® Panzerung Compact Mobile Monitoring Vehicle meet this increasing challenge? • The Alpha Armouring® Panzerung Compact Mobile Monitoring Vehicle based on the Mercedes G-Class* is the first of a new kind of armoured observation vehicle. • The CMM Vehicle is a technically sophisticated, dynamic and agile vehicle designed for RF monitoring, DFing and surveillance. • Wideband spectrum monitoring • Special GSM and TETRA modes • Superior protection for occupants and equipment. *also available based on the Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX-570, as well as ATLANT

The Alpha Armouring® Panzerung Compact Mobile Monitoring Vehicle is a special kind of patrol and observation vehicle. Thanks to its superb off-road capability, low weight, an innovative patented armouring concept, high manoeuvrability and compact dimensions, the Observation Vehicle can be deployed on any mission worldwide, virtually without restriction.
Dynamic performance spectrum and highly efficient interior concept: Alpha ArmouringŽ has succeeded in integrating one of the world’s finest surveillance systems in a minimum of
space within the structure of its armoured vehicle. An entirely new operating concept has been specially developed in order to
highly efficiently guarantee total occupant comfort, usability and safety.
Cassidian Comint Payload for mobile units Cassidian Comint Payload for mobile units offers state-of-the-art RF monitoring systems to help secure borders and facilities. They enable surveillance of the complete spectrum
from 1.5MHz to 6GHz. The systems are capable of detecting fixed frequency radio equipment, as well as equipment using even Low Probability of Intercept (LPI)
techniques with frequency or timeagile transmission modes.They support operators by introducing autonomous operation with a high degree of automation.
