TSD proposes integrating industrialization and operational requirements from the design stage of armored vehicles
Javier Peralta, TSD's engineering director, said at the "Del prototipo al éxito" panel at Advanced Manufacturing, held at IFEMA Madrid, that the main obstacle to turning an armored vehicle into an industrial product is the lack of early integration between engineering, industrialization and operational needs. Peralta proposed that manufacturing, quality, purchasing, suppliers and after-sales work together from the earliest phases, and cited the IBERO tactical vehicle, developed for the Guardia Civil's Special Intervention Unit, with capacity for ten officers, an assault ramp and STANAG 2 protection.
