Exsel Electronics is pleased to be fully operational as offering support to the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) in Porton Down, during the Covid 19 global pandemic.  

Exsel Electronics with its headquarters on the Wales/England border, is also working to support QinetiQ and the Ministry of Defence (MOD), while following Government guidelines to work from home where possible. 

Keith Hughes, Exsel’s Director, said: “Our early and seemless transition to working from home, means that we are still fully supporting all data security programmes to QinetiQ, Dstl and the Ministry of Defence etc, while giving 100% effort off-site. We wish everyone the best of health.”

Fleur Phillips, Project Manager at Exsel Electronics, said: “Being proactive from the outset of this unprecedented pandemic, has resulted in our robust infrastructure remaining in place, while keeping our key staff safe, in good health and intact as a team.”

Exsel Design & Integration is delighted to work with the Armoured Trials and Development Unit (ADTU) to integrate a light weight fixed observation mast onto a Jackal as part of their Light Cav Sprint. This is another example of our ability to work closely with both defence and commercial clients to rapidly prototype products for cost-effective solutions.

The ADTU, which is part of the British Army, comprises specialists from within the Royal Armoured Corps (RAC) and Royal Electrical Mechanical Engineers (REME). As a unit, it carries out user trials and develops systems to improve armoured platforms and to make sure that the best equipment is available.

The mast is capable of supporting up to 20kg of interchangeable masthead payloads can be lifted up to 6m quickly and quietly using pneumatic powered mast controls.

Leading electronics firm, Exsel Electronics, based on the Wales/England border, is enjoying on-going growth at the start of 2020, thanks to securing a new contract with some of the top names in technology and defence.

Exsel Electronics with its headquarters at Buttington, near Welshpool, is now working in collaboration with Nexor, Thales, IBM and QinetiQ. 

Fleur Phillips, Project Manager at Exsel Electronics, said: “We are pleased to announce that we are working with Nexor, Thales, IBM and QinetiQ, to deliver an asset protection project, using networked sensors, with other systems. 

"This project focuses on developing an environment that gathers and integrates information from remote sensors, and distributes any intelligence found to other systems. This builds on theoretical work already undertaken by Nexor.

“Exsel will be building on this theoretical work, providing expertise in integration, GVA, Morpheus EvO, and LOSA COIL, to provide an assessment of those technologies. 

“Exsel will also be working to understand the benefits of using Rapid Integration.” 

Keith Hughes, Exsel’s Director, said they welcome this work, and how it helps to expand their portfolio and members of staff.

This is the latest project Exsel has been engaged in as part of the CSIIS framework. Exsel’s continued growth is based on its successful delivery of projects on time and within budget.

Exsel Group’s Worcester-based precision engineering & manufacturing division, Exsel Design & Integration, is delighted to support BAE SYSTEMS HÄGGLUNDS with the upgrade of Royal Marines “Viking” BvS10’s existing Troop Carrier Variant (TCV) vehicles into Command Variant (CV) vehicles, increasing the operational capacity of the fleet.

​

Referred to as the All-Terrain Vehicle (Protected) – ATV(P), the Viking is a fully amphibious (propelled fully-loaded using its tracks) and armoured vehicle that has seen service globally in places such as the Arctic and Afghanistan. It is very adaptable in its roles and is capable of being transported under a CH-47-Chinook helicopter. Being relatively low weight and with full-length rubber tracks it benefits from low ground pressure and can travel over unstable surfaces such as snow and sand.

​

Exsel Design & Integration originally fitted out these Vikings in 2006 and have been supporting them ever since. This latest round of improvements will extend the serviceable life of the platform as well as upgrading and integrating power and communications systems to evolve the platform from TCV to CV capabilities.

Mike Moloney, Director at Exsel Design & Integration, said “having supported this vehicle since its initial fit out, it’s always a pleasure to welcome this versatile platform back into our care and to ensure that, by providing the systems enhancements required in today’s theatre, the Viking will continue to support the UK MOD for a number of years to come.”

The Exsel Group exhibited at this year's Three Counties Defence & Security Expo, held at the Three Counties Show Ground in Malvern.

​

The focus this year was to showcase four products under two of the Group companies; Exsel Electronics and Exsel Design & Integration, and the demonstrations of the Cross Domain Security Device, as a mobile land-platform unit, together with The Cube attracted a lot of interest.

​

James Marment, Director at Exsel Group said “We were delighted to attend the Three Counties Defence & Security Expo 2019. It was very well attended and we were able to forge relationships with new companies, discovering exciting new business opportunities, as well as catch up with long-standing existing clients. Exhibiting at the show this year meant we could stand out from the crowd and show off our brand and our products successfully and we are looking forward to exhibiting again next year.”

​

It was good to see the show go from strength to strength and the Exsel Group stand was busy all day long. We look forward to an even bigger event next year.

Jul 02, 2019

This year Exsel Group is delighted that two of Exsel Group’s companies; Exsel Electronics and Exsel Design & Integration will be sharing a stand to show off some of their innovation, capabilities and products.

Exsel Electronics designs and produces fully engineered, documented and supportable electronic defence systems to meet customers' project-specific requirements and they will be demonstrating how it is possible to combine ECM, HUMS, GVA and CDSD specifically for the benefit of land based platforms.

Keith Hughes, Director at Exsel Electronics, says “We are really excited to be attending 3CDSE 2019. We are looking forward to showcasing our own innovation as well as seeing the great ideas coming out of other companies. It’s certainly one of the highlights of our year and we are planning on speaking to a lot of people!”

Exsel Design & Integration will be taking along an example of The Cube; a generic packing system and common infrastructure of power generation, distribution and connectivity that allows any product set to be integrated and supported. System equipment packaged in the Cube is capable of operating as a standalone self-contained entity or alternatively as part of a larger deployment system. The Cube is modular in construction and offers maximum flexibility and versatility and can be used for optical/radar sensing, water purification, medical emergency & disaster relief, communications post or remote weapon station. 

Mike Moloney, Director at Exsel Design & Integration says “3CDSE is very good for us in many ways, not least because it is a great advertisement for defence engineering companies in the Midlands and it gives us the opportunity to get close and spend valuable time with existing and new customers. 

Both companies will be at the show on the 17th July 2019 and can be found at stand #68. Anyone interested in meeting with Keith, Mike or one of their team can contact them on enquiries@exsel-group.com

​

One recipient of an Explora Foundation scholarship, who attended the event, is Captain Dave Henson, ex-Royal Engineers. Dave is currently studying for a PhD in Bioengineering at the Imperial College London. Dave stated “it is fantastic to see the values and standards of our Armed Forces echoed and respected in industry through this public signing of the covenant; a public recognition of the inherent transferable skills and wealth of knowledge held in the personnel of our military.”
