PROFILE

NATURE OF DENEL LAND SYSTEMS BUSINESS AND SERVICES
Denel Land Systems is a landward defence system solutions business with its primary focus on the South African National Defence Force’s (SANDF) requirements as prime contractor and, where we have competitive advantage, also international customers as a systems integrator and subsystem and product supplier. DLS is a consolidated, program based systems house for the development, production, maintenance and upgrades of infantry systems, artillery gun systems and combat turrets as well as small arms. The company is based in Lyttelton, south of Pretoria.

The company’s strength lies in the unique fine balance of technologies and engineering capabilities allowing it to take complex systems or products through its whole life cycle, from conceptualisation, systems design, development, testing and qualification to industrialisation and production, product support and eventual decommissioning. This strength is enhanced by an entrenched culture of learning which is fostered in the company.

To be the preferred supplier of strategic land based defence system solutions to the South African National Defence Force, whilst exporting to improve profitably and efficiency through sustained growth.

MISSION
