New variants of Belrex PCSV developed
ST Engineering’s Land Systems arm and Paramount Group have developed new variants of the Belrex Protected Combat Support Vehicle (PCSV).
The Belrex vehicle - commissioned by the Singapore Army - is based on Paramount’s Marauder vehicle. The two companies will collaborate to offer the new family of vehicles to the global market.
The ten variants include security, engineer, reconnaissance, logistics, fuel, mortar, medical, signal, maintenance and mortar ammunition carrier. The base platform comes in three basic crew compartment sizes – four, eight and ten.
In addition to a remote machine gun and a smoke grenade launcher, the vehicle also has provisions for a suite of C4 systems, enabling co-operative engagement with other land combat platforms as part of a networked force.
Classified as Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected class, the four-wheeled armoured vehicle provides motorised infantry combat support and combat service support forces with improved firepower, protection and situational awareness to enhance survivability. The flexible vehicles can be configured to carry combat loads for a variety of combat support and logistical functions.

The science of soldier safety: How Team Wendy Is reinventing the modern military helmet
When soldiers head into the field, the helmet on their head can mean the difference between life and death. But while helmets may look simple from the outside, the technology inside them is anything but. Few companies illustrate this better than Team Wendy, whose newest bump helmet — the RECON™ Tactical — shows just how far modern head protection has come.
