All terrain 80 tonne mobile crane for NS - Autogru Rigo S.P.A (Italian company)

**Goldie fish** · 8th July 2006, 10:51

The 80 tonne crane has been a big requirement for some time. The 22 tonner currently in the basin is good, but usually works at the limit of its capability.

Integrated Voice System for the Irish Defence Forces

The requirement is for a software solution that integrates with communications hardware from any contractor and enables voice communications between any connected devices, including phones, PCs, and two-way radios, regardless of manufacturer.

These voice inputs may include a variety of encryption methods.

Considering that those wonderful people in Ivory Towers couldn't even buy the same Personal Role Radio that married up with the intercom system in the APCs (deftly defeating the purpose of the bailout cable), I wouldn't hold out much hope on this one.

What is it? Did the DF buy it?

Well in that case, my original point stands. When the powers that be took it upon themselves to come up with a PRR, they didn't choose the one that plugs into the ROVIS in the MOWAGs.

**Goldie fish** · 24th July 2006, 07:26

I'd be satisfied if we had at least one armoured vehicle with a complete intercom system.

That is what the tender was for, i.e. what DOD procurement/GSA asked for

Presume so, just a different supplier. Which will probably mean that the newer stuff will have shade differences in the colours (a la the Seyntex stuff, then the Irish stuff that followed - the name of the supplier eludes me, PortWest, I think)

Is there any other military facility in Kildare?

**Gasplug** · 3rd September 2006, 16:32

Only people from kildare know the answer, and i am not tellin.

**DeV** · 3rd September 2006, 19:21

With decentralisation yes - DFHQ & DOD in Newbridge (when it happens).

The Curragh is only where it is being delivered to, not necessarily where it will be deployed (overseas I assume).
