Nimr also unveiled at IDEX an autonomous version of the four-wheel drive armored vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe hybrid electric engine is seen as a key element for the future introduction of complex sensors and electronics in combat vehicles. It will be more organically linked to such systems than to mechanical ones, and will simplify the integration of [artificial intelligence] AI technology,\u201d the executive said, adding that more intelligent combat vehicles will mean better situational awareness and improved responses to threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new characteristics are intended to improve the vehicle\u2019s range, acceleration and stealth capabilities, as the hybrid electrical drive system is quieter than conventional engines. The hybrid electric drive system is also expected to produce less emissions than standard engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cConversations around hybrid electric technology in the automotive industry are on the increase, and naturally this is echoed in the defense industry,\u201d Du Plessis said. \u201cThere are several advantages of implementing hybrid electric drive systems, including improvement of acceleration and fuel economy, silent mobility and silent watch capabilities, and enhancement of onboard electric power generation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The CEO also said his company is looking into a range of commercial solutions, whether hybrid or fully electric, to explore how it can incorporate more technology into its products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lee Shiang Long, the president of ST Engineering\u2019s land systems business, said in a statement that the hybrid electric drive system was originally designed for commercial applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teams in the United Arab Emirates and Singapore are cooperating on the project from their respective locations. The next step is to finalize a detailed design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPlans are to have a running prototype within a year that can be used for extensive testing and characterization. Following that, the system will be fully industrialized in accordance with customer requirements,\u201d Du Plessis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system\u2019s kit will be prepared by ST Engineering, with the vehicle and all other mechanical parts and interfaces handled by Nimr.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The hybrid electric drive system\u2019s
