At IDET 2015, the International Exhibition of Defence and Security Technologies 2015 held in Brno, the Czech Republic, SVK Minister of Defence Martin Glváč unveiled the EVA light self-propelled howitzer. The latest product of the Slovak defence industry was manufactured by KONŠTRUKTA – Defence, Ltd., one of the companies of the DMD GROUP headquartered in Dubnica nad Váhom.
The EVA light self-propelled howitzer is an artillery mobile platform with a fully automatic loading system capable of providing effective fire support to Land Forces. The EVA howitzer features a long range accuracy, effective fire and high mobility.
“Finally, after a long time, this marks a step towards the recovery of our defence industry. I wish to extend my thanks to the DMD GROUP for constructing this vehicle in just nine months. I hope that it will, after passing military tests, be successfully incorporated into the armaments inventory of the SVK Armed Forces. The Army of the Czech Republic, too, is likely to show interest in this type of a vehicle, and we are taking maximum efforts for it to break new ground on international markets. Indeed, this is the result of Czech-Slovak co-operation, one that integrates a Czech-made truck chassis and a Slovak-made superstructure,” said the minister.
Visitors to the SVK MOD exhibition area were given the opportunity to view, among other exhibits, the ZUZANA 2 self-propelled gun howitzer, military gear designed for international crisis management operations, the IVECO vehicle with a mounted mechanical turret, as well as the DELOSYS Artillery System Command Post Vehicle. As part of their dynamic demonstrations, the SVK Armed Forces displayed a light multi-purpose vehicle with a mounted mechanical turret, and a decontamination vehicle.
IDET Brno alternates with IDEB, the International Defence Exhibition in Bratislava, every second year.
