Three ways to support – one goal:Fulfilling customer needs

Upgrading and integrationRUAG Defence modernisation programmes are the answer to the military demands of tomorrow. We have the engineering skills and comprehensive system expertise to combine proven basic systems with the latest technology in such a way that their performance is sustainably geared towards the challenges encountered on the modern battlefield. A modu-lar approach allows weapon systems to be tailored precisely to our customers’ needs.

Components and subsystemsOur portfolio covers a range of subsystems specifically designed for integration within a number of existing and future vehicle platforms. These single subsystems either enhance the performance of the vehicle as a whole or give it a new capability. All the subsystems are made to the highest quality standards and are fully supported with our logistics and training experience.

Maintenance and life cycle managementOur specialists’ experience and skill enable us to offer maintenance and repair work for all the products in our portfolio and for a n extended range of other platforms, with a view to considerably extending their functionality and lifespan. As part of our life cycle manage-ment programme, we ensure maximum mission readiness over a system’s entire service life.

We have extensive knowledge of all the systems and subsystems we supply. This enables us to offer a broad selection of services in which innovation and lasting value come together. On the one hand, our portfolio includes services which ensure and extend system deployablity, and on the other, services which expand and refine capabilities. Regardless of which system interests you as our customer, we are your expert partner who will provide individual advice and support.
