BAE Systems Land Systems

BAE Systems Land Systems is a division of BAE Systems specialising in ground warfare systems, e.g. Main Battle Tanks, Armoured Personnel Carriers, bridging systems, ammunition and artillery.

BAE Systems Land Systems was created by BAE Systems in September 2004 by bringing together RO Defence and the newly acquired Alvis Vickers.

In March 2005 BAE Systems North America announced the acquisition of United Defense Industries (UDI), a major land systems company. It remains to be seen if this will be merged with BAE Systems Land Systems or remain under control of BAE Systems North America.
