QinetiQ and Saft have joined BAE Systems and Northrop Grumman in their GCV team in their bid for the US Army's Ground Combat Vehicle (GCV) competition. QinetiQ will provide its E-X-DRIVE - the key component of the hybrid electric drive propulsion system for the vehicles, which minimises electrical demand, saves on vehicle fuel costs, improves reliability, provides higher dash speed and acceleration and increased on-board and off-board power. Saft will provide the energy storage system for the GCV. The Irish Ministry of Transport has awarded CHC Ireland a 10-year, €500 million contract to provide Search and Rescue services on behalf of the Irish Coast Guard.
