Netherlands introduces EW-modified Bushmaster
The Royal Netherlands Army confirmed on 1 July that it has converted one of its in-service Bushmaster 4x4 vehicles into an EW variant.
The Multirole EW Bushmaster (pictured), delivered to 102 Electronic Warfare Company, is equipped with five computer workstations and equipment that will allow it to analyse and disrupt radio and cyber activities in its vicinity.
The conversion was carried out by the Netherlands MoD and based on combat experiences in Mali and Iraq.
Shephard reported in May that the Australian Army will add an EW capability to its Bushmasters under Tranche 2 of Project Land 555 Phase 6.
