A Revolution in Artillery
European Land SystemsSystem Concept
KiVW and GD ELS through SBS have decided to jointly develop and market
‘a new generation, air deployable (<32 tons), autonomous and remotly
‘operated 155 mm artillery system
DONAR changes conventional artillery docirine through a reduced crew and
logistics footprint as well as autonomous operations itis targeted to replace
legacy systems (e.g. M109, AS90, K9, etc) in service with modern armies.
The mission spectrum of the DONAR ranges from classic artillery fire support
missions to active field protection. The autonomous character of the DONAR
system allows a consistent step towards networked, centralised command
and control

This 165 mm /82 cal artillery system
combines a full automatic and
independent fring module, integrated
on a tracked and proven platform that
provides mobility, stability and
protection,
With the usage of proven and reliable
components from two mature
systems, PzH 2000 and ASCOD,
risks are reduced.
Moreover, this leads into a cost
effective medium weight indirect fire

KMW and GDELS have decided to strengthen their relations and jointly
develop a new world class selt- propelled, tracked, fully automated 155/152
artillery weapon system derived from successful existing systems - the
PzH12000 turret and the ASCOD IFV,
Both companies extend its relation on a worldwide basis to serve the artillery
needs of quick deployable peace keeping forces by guaranteeing logistic
support on an international basis.
The relation nues deepening KMW and GDELS long tradition of
collabora the last decade both have successfully customized the
Leopard A6 to Spanish standards. As a result of this, the Spanish Leopardo
2E Program will conclude with the delivery of 219 MBTs of latest generation.
Krauss-Maffei Wegmann GmbH & Co. KG Europe's market leader for
armoured wheeled and tr. icles. Its product portfolio ranges from
air transportable and highly protected wheeled vehicles (MUNGO, DINGO,
FENNEK und BOXER), to reconnaissance, air defense and artillery systems
(FENNEK, GEPARD, P2200 and AGM) all the way to main battle tanks
(LEOPARD 1 and 2), infantry fighting vehicles (PUMA) and bridge layers
JAN und PSB2). Furthermore KMW possesses a broad system
in the field of civil and military simulation, command and control
applications and fully automatic remote controlled gun mounts. The armed
forces of more than 30 nations worldwide rely on operational systems
supplied by KMW.
GDELS is the combination of four entities - Santa Barbara Sistemas,
GDELS-Germany, GD European Land Systems-Steyr GmbH and General
Dynamics European Land Systems-Mowag GmbH. As one of the European
leaders in the land combat systems sector, GDELS has focused itself on
four specific divisions with the aim of producing greater synergies and
coordination between its 13 plants. The four divisions are Tracked Vehicles,
Wheeled Vehicles, Bridges and Artillery & Ammunition, plus a network of
RAD centers, and logistic and customer relations activities.
