The Agency successfully managed the BPz2 Programme modernization. This has enabled the Lithuanian Armed Forces to significantly expand their field capabilities to support the PzH2000 operation, by providing a modern and effective solution to cover a recurrent gap in the operation scenarios. This new solution provides recovery and field support capabilities for vehicles in the weight class that exceeds 50 t.
The basic BPz2 Recovery Vehicles received several upgrades with a focus on performance, mobility, weight and craning equipment.
The mandate entrusted to NSPA consisted of the production of four modernized vehicles and the establishment of a logistical infrastructure, with all the targeted achievements obtained within the set schedule.
This positive achievement is the result of very strong synergetic experience, competence and dedication of all the NSPA Air and Land Combat Programme team, and the supporting services involved in the project. Subsequently, NSPA successfully managed the entire programme upgrades while keeping the costs within the established budgetary requirements.
The German company FFG GmbH (Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft mbH) contributed with their extensive experience in the area of recovery vehicles. FFG personnel focused their efforts in fulfilling the technical requirement, and in the continuous tailoring of the final product according to user needs.
