BAE Systems – Panther TES

Challenge:  Urgent Operational Requirement

When global defence, aerospace and security company BAE Systems approached us, they needed support with an Urgent Operational Requirement (UOR) for Panther Theatre Entry Standard (TES) vehicles, which required new components to be supplied on a rapid turnaround

BAE Systems Panther, the British Army’s command and liaison vehicle (CLV), needed the new components to support the upgrade of 73 vehicles which were being customised to theatre entry standard.

Designed for strategic and tactical mobility with a high level of protection against anti-tank and anti-personnel mines, Panther provides operators with a lower vehicle profile while still giving a high level of crew protection.

Solution:  Delivered on Time Panther TES Vehicle Sets

We worked with BAE to provide technical feedback during the quotation phase and implementing design improvements prior to production to ensure the most robust product quality was achieved.

Despite only receiving new component data and authorisation on Christmas Eve, we managed to schedule additional Christmas working to ensure the UOR timescales were met, delivering first parts to BAE Systems the first week in January.  In total, we delivered 73 kits of 39 different parts meeting all delivery requirements.
