WELCOME TO ADG MOBILITY

Leaders in Protected Mobility

ADG Mobility (‘ADGM’) was launched in January 2017 by the same founding members of LMT, which was established in 1999 by Stefan Nell, Chris Giliomee and Andy Hodgson, to focus primarily on design, development and production support of protected vehicles, subsystems and components.

ADGM sees its primary market as clients who are looking for top level protected mobility solutions, including upgrades and MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul). Our world-class armoured vehicle design and development team is supported by state-of-the-art software, systems and a fully equipped modern workshop staffed by highly skilled artisans.

ADGM’s senior members have on average 30 years of experience and knowledge of design, development, production and support in the field of battle-proven 4x4, 6x6 and 8x8 military armoured vehicles and have, since 1999 together as a team, successfully completed more than 1400 projects spanning over 5 continents.

ADG Mobility’s entrepreneurial culture is fuelled by innovation with quick turnaround times and professional service.

ADG Mobility joined the OTT Group of Companies in 2021

OUR CAPABILITIES

ADG Mobility's business focus and baseline approach.

ADG Mobility specialises in the design, development, manufacturing and support, including midlife upgrades and MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) of protected mobility solutions, with the emphasis on 4x4, 6x6 and 8x8 vehicles with high mobility and extreme levels of landmine, IED and ballistic protection.

COMPANY CAPABILITIES


  • Highly innovative engineering team consisting of mechanical, electrical, production and industrial engineers.
  • Full design and development of complete protected vehicles and subsystems with data pack, BOM, production instructions, jigs and fixtures.
  • Simulation of landmine, IED and ballistic events, as well as design and analysis of complex structures and 3D dynamics of tracked and wheeled vehicles.
  • Production (fabrication and assembly) of complete vehicles and sub-systems such as protected cabs or protected containers, both in prototype and full production (outsourced) environment.
  • Comprehensive test and evaluation capabilities, ranging from vehicle and component performance, landmine, IED and ballistic testing.
  • Complete ILS capability, including LSA (support concepts, manuals etc).
  • Full in-country MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) capabilities, ranging from factory layout, training and spare parts management to physically executing the work.

DEVELOPMENT CAPABILITIES


  • Full 3D Modelling
    • CAD – Computer Aided Design (Siemens NX, Solidworks and OnShape).
    • PLM – Product Life Cycle Management (TeamCenter).
    • ERP – Enterprise Resource Planning (SAGE).

  • Simulation
    • Dytran for landmine, ballistic and IED simulation.
    • NASTRAN/Marc for Linear/non-linear FEA.
    • ADAMS for vehicle dynamics and kinematics.
    • scFlow for fluid dynamics.
    • VBDrive for vehicle performance.

  • ILS (Integrated Logistic Support)
    • Windchill Prediction.
      • Windchill Prediction provides the basis for the reliability evaluation and analysis of systems by allowing you to assess reliability metrics early in the design process.
    • Windchill Maintainability.
      • Windchill Maintainability provides an efficient framework for performing maintainability analyses. Based on globally accepted standards for reliability and maintainability predictions.
    • Windchill FTA.
      • Windchill FTA provides the ability to focus on a top-level event, such as a safety issue or a critical failure, so you can mitigate its occurrence or impact. Intuitive graphical diagramming and calculation tools allow you to easily define the critical failure, its contributing events, and their logical relationships.
    • Windchill Failure Mode and Effects Analysis.
      • Windchill FMEA is used to identify all potential failures or risks to a system and evaluate their effects, enabling design engineers to introduce risk controls that prevent or mitigate their impact on the system.
    • EDCAS - Equipment Designer Cost Analysis System
      • EDCAS is designed to identify which among several system design options will give the lowest Life Cycle Cost (LCC), assuming that each option enjoys the most cost-effective support arrangements possible, the first EDCAS task is to determine for each component of a given system the Level of Repair solution yielding the lowest LCC.
    • EAGLE - Enhanced Automated Graphical Logistics Environment
      • EAGLE is a MIL-STD-1388-2B compliant LSAR database used to perform Logistic Support Analysis (LSA) on complex systems. EAGLE builds all standardized logistics reports, exchanges files, and integrates with the EAGLE Publishing System to flow LSA data into technical publications on a single database.

PRODUCTS

ADG Mobility’s product offerings.

Combat Dozer Attachment

The in-service, stand alone combat dozer attachment can be fitted to wheeled and tracked vehicles for light engineering tasks on the battle field. More than 45 systems are already in service fitted to a MBT (Main Battle Tank) of a Middle Eastern country.

Generic Armoured Cabin

The Generic Armoured Cabin is based on our experience with the design, manufacture and support of more than 200 armoured cabins for trucks for at least two NATO countries. The generic cabin was successfully tested in extreme desert conditions and can be fitted to a wide range of military and commercial trucks.

Spare parts

We supply spare parts to OEMs and End Users for a variety of vehicles and subsystems.
