VOP CZ will present a new hot product and the Bushmaster armoured vehicle at the Future Forces 2024

14.10.2024

At this year's Future Forces 2024 trade fair, the state enterprise will present a number of novelties. The biggest one, literally, is the Australian Bushmaster armoured vehicle, which VOP CZ will present in cooperation with the European company Thales. This year's fair is thus the first public event in the Czech Republic where this unique armoured vehicle will be presented for the first time.

The Bushmaster platform is used by almost a dozen armies around the world, including two NATO member states. The vehicle has also been successfully deployed in conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Mali and most recently in Ukraine. In total, some fifteen hundred vehicles have been produced in various modifications and variants. Thanks to its unique chassis, which is designed as a so-called monocoque, it provides maximum protection for the crew against the explosion of an IED or other explosive device. Another indisputable advantage of the Bushmaster platform is that it can be transported playfully in C-390 Millennium aircraft or CH-47 Chinook transport helicopters.

In the future, the state-owned enterprise has the ambition to become the production and service centre for these vehicles for the CEE region.

Another literally "hot" new product will be presented and unveiled by the state enterprise directly at its stand on the first day of the fair.

The stand of VOP CZ, s.p. can be found in Hall 3, exhibition area 328.
