Description

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

We are delighted to have reaffirmed our support for the UK’s military personnel after once again signing the Armed Forces Covenant.

The Armed Forces Covenant is a promise by the nation ensuring that those who serve or who have served in the armed forces, and their families, are treated fairly. Our current workforce is made up of over 10% of Armed Forces veterans from all services and at all levels of the organisation, from our leadership team to our shop floor.

As a Gold member of the covenant, we are proud to have resigned our commitment to the scheme.

About us

Rheinmetall BAE Systems Land (RBSL) is a defence engineering company specialising in the design, manufacture and support of military vehicles used by the British Army and international customers. RBSL has designed and developed many of the British Army's armoured vehicle fleets. Now as a joint venture business between Rheinmetall and BAE Systems, RBSL continues to support these vehicles as well as the UK MOD's latest land programmes.

RBSL recently received an £800m contract to upgrade 148 British Army Challenger 2 Main Battle Tanks. The upgraded vehicle, to be called Challenger 3, will be a network-enabled, digital Main Battle Tank with state-of-the-art lethality, upgraded survivability, plus world-class surveillance and target acquisition capabilities.

RSBL has also secured a role on the UK MOD's £2.3bn Mechanised Infantry Vehicle (MIV) programme which will deliver over 500 Boxer vehicles to the British Army in four configurations. Under an £860m contract, RBSL will manufacture two of these configurations, undertaking the fabrication of the vehicle structures together with the assembly, integrations and test of the complete vehicles.
