KNDS’ tailored support services

KNDS is going to send a Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) centre in Ukraine. This centre designed to maintain fleets in operational condition is set up by KNDS experts. Its deployment is intended to benefit the local industrial fabric, by being armed by trained and autonomous local staff. The centre will also be able to accommodate logistics and training capabilities.

KNDS is Europe’s leading provider of on-site services for military vehicles, training systems and simulators. The services required can be put together as needed from a modular portfolio, all the way up to all- round supply. KNDS provides the customer with optimal support at any time and place – even in crisis zones – in order to ensure maximum system availability.

Mobile command posts and integrated container solutions, like the MULTIBOX, are core elements of leadership in the modern, highly dynamic digitized battlefields. With a comprehensive maintenance and logistics system that can be configured for the application profile with tools or spare parts, highly mobile logistics, fast response times and high system availability are guaranteed. The KNDS MULTIBOX is highly space-saving; fully mobile in use and ready for immediate deployment.
