ALPHA ARMOURING

The observation post 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 Observation Vehicle meet this increasing challenge?

• The Alpha Armouring® Observation Vehicle based on the Mercedes G-Class* is the first of a new kind of armoured observation vehicle.

• The Observation Vehicle is a technically sophisticated, dynamic and agile vehicle designed for observation and border surveillance.

• Seamless border observation, including surveillance of at-risk sections.

• 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 Observation 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.

Carl Zeiss Optronics for mobile units Carl Zeiss Optronics for mobile units offers sophisticated optronic observation systems to help secure borders and facilities. They enable surveillance of large areas and specific objects.

The systems detect all motion, track moving objects and provide early warning.

They help observers and mission commanders complete their missions.
