The Defence Technological and Industrial Bases is indispensable for maintaining peace and security. After all, it provides an armed force with services and equipment. If it does not, the armed forces are left hobbled. This also applies to the Dutch armed forces. Nevertheless, the defence and security sector is experiencing difficulties in accessing private finance. Referring to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) criteria, companies in the sector would not be able to access private financing from pension institutions, insurers and financial service providers. Because of the same criteria, the sector is experiencing difficulties in opening accounts with private banks. Below is summary on the current state of the issue.

Even during a crisis, the customer can count on Patria’s support. Patria’s service covers the entire lifecycle of the fleets The lifecycle for military fleets is typically decades-long – and thus, in addition to ordinary maintenance, repairs and overhauls, the fleets must undergo major upgrades, repairs and system/structural modifications during the lifecycle to fulfil required capabilities. Patria has strong experience and expertise in all these demanding activities – for land vehicles, aircraft and marine vessels. Patria OPTIME also covers the management of fleet MRO supply chains, as required by the customer. Data analysis makes it possible to anticipate the future need for spare parts and to optimally plan the deliveries and storage of these parts. The concept of operations of high-performance assets is also essential part of effective system usage. Patria can support this with years of experience in data collection from a range of fleets as part of mission support services. This brings exclusive offering for Patria’s training services. For instance, in Finland, Patria is responsible for elementary and basic pilot training for the Air Force, Army and Border Guard and provides training services for maintenance staff. Patria OPTIME is set up according to the customer’s requirements The specification of the Patria OPTIME solution begins with an assessment of the current state of the customer’s operating environment, equipment and sustainment solution as well as the requirements set for them. After a successful feasibility study, there will be a more thorough value proposal phase together with the customer. Patria OPTIME ensures the performance of different kinds of fleets in all conditions over their entire lifecycle.

The fully redundant DA 30-HT-D has been developed for applications with the highest reliability demands. The redundant – two channel – design of the actuator allows continuous operation even if one of the two channels has failed. All major components such as the electric motors, control and communication electronics, and power supply are available twice (redundant). The position sensor features a three channel design (for 2 out of 3 voting). Additionally, there are several sensors integrated to provide diagnostic information such as current consumption, supply voltage levels and temperature readings. All major components of the actuator are continuously diagnosed by the microcontrollers of the actuator and its health status can be read via the redundant RS485.

specialized heat shrink tubing for the defense industry, with international standards such as QPL SAE AS23053, DEF STAN 59-97, VG 95343, and BS G198.

With more than 3,000 EO/IR sensors on order or delivered, the Star SAFIRE® series provides the longest range performance in its class.

Our team of interpreters, all specialists in the defense sector, brings extensive hands-on experience and relevant training. We help ensure the success of international business endeavors by acting as trusted partners to our clients. • 24/7 defense interpretation services • Fully equipped to deliver simultaneous, consecutive, escort, and whispering interpretation services for a variety of conferences, seminars, and official events • Exclusive interpretation service provider for the first-ever K-Defense Day Event ◎Simultaneous interpretation Interpretation conducted in almost real time using interpretation equipment (FM interpretation equipment, and receivers) in an interpreter booth where a pair of interpreters do the interpretation. The audience hears the interpreter's voice through the receivers. It is often used in conferences, forums, symposiums and memorials attended by a large number of people. ◎Consecutive interpretation Unlike simultaneous interpretation, this is conducted served after a speaker's words end. It is mainly used for meetings with limited attendance, such as ministerial talks and summits. ◎Accompanying interpretation This is similar to consecutive interpretation, but the interpreter moves with the speaker and interprets. It is mainly used for sightseeing and field trips where interpreters are needed. ◎Whispering interpretation Interpretation for a small audience, listening to what a speaker says and then interpreting it for an audience in a quiet voice. If needed, the interpreter can use whispering equipment (transmitters and receivers).
