Field support
RBSL is a trusted partner to UK and export customers, offering technical support throughout a vehicle’s life cycle.
RBSL Field Support Representatives (FSRs) support the users and maintainers of their equipment around the world, for example at the British Army Training Unit Suffield (BATUS) in Canada. They provide both technical advice and a “hands on” service including upgrades and modifications.
Customers rely on FSRs’ comprehensive knowledge and experience of the mechanical and electrical equipment in vehicle vehicles. They also provide support to soldiers on operations, having done so in Iraq and Afghanistan, where they have been recognised with civilian medals.
RBSL provides a comprehensive spares and repairs service that delivers quality and safe products for UK and export customers.
RBSL delivers spares and repairs for numerous combat vehicles for which RBSL is the Original Equipment Manufacturer, in addition to other platforms.
