In 2005 the Portuguese government signed a deal worth 364 million euros to acquire 260 Pandur II armoured vehicle, with an option for further 33 worth 140 million euros, to equip the Portuguese Intervention Brigade of the Portuguese Army and the marines of the Portuguese Navy. Portugal was the first country to buy Pandur II.〔¨Portugal was the first country to select the Pandur II 8x8, awarding Steyr-Daimler-Puch a EUR344.3 million (USD455.1 million) contract (plus a spares contract worth another EUR20.7 million) for the supply of 260 vehicles in February 2005 ... Second in line was the Czech Army, which it was announced in June 2006 had placed an EUR821 million order for 199 vehicles (plus 35 options) in 18 versions, all of which will be amphibious, including 63 infantry combat vehicles (ICVs)¨ ''Pandur II in profile: Steyr's 8x8 digitized warfare platform is gathering speed'' by Rupert Pengelley, in ''Jane´s Defence Industry'', 17 January 2007.〕 The sale of Pandur II to Portugal includes an associated offset agreement for a value of 516 million euro.〔''Procurement Decision Support for the Portuguese MoD: The MACBETH Approach and the Acquisition of 8x8 AWV'', by Carlos A. Bana e Costa Mário Simões Marquest, Paper presented at the SAS-080 Specialists Meeting on ''Decision Support Methodologies for Acquisition of Military Equipment'', Brussels, Belgium, October 22–23, 2009, ()〕 The methodology of the selection process was officially based on four main characteristics of the bidder´s offers: 1) cost; 2) technical requirements; 3) offset proposal; 4) delivery schedule. The first 41 Pandur II were manufactured in Austria, the further 219 are being manufactured by ''Fabrequipa'' in Portugal. ==Timeline== * 2002 Ministry of Defense prepares a competitive bidding for the procurement of 8x8 Armored Wheeled Vehicles * early 2003 Ministry of Defense authorizes pre-offset activities in Portugal. * 14/8/2003 Public announcement of the tender. * 2003 General Dynamics acquires ''Steyr Daimler Puch Spezialfahrzeug'', SSF becomes part of ''General Dynamics European Land Combat Systems'' which includes also the Spanish ''Santa Bárbara Sistemas'' and the Swiss'' MOWAG''.

''General Dynamics''´s Steyr Pandur II and MOWAG Piranha are first and second choice.〔(Finlandeses evitam teste operacional ) ''Diário de Notícias''. However, some other articles challenge this interpretation of the exclusion of Patria: ¨O PUBLICO.PT apurou ainda que a empresa finlandesa Patria Vehicles, derrotada no processo de escolha, desistiu anteontem da providência cautelar interposta em tribunal, depois de uma primeira acção intentada em Janeiro, que foi considerada improcedente pelo Tribunal Administrativo e Fiscal de Lisboa.¨ ()〕 * 12/2004 ''Steyr-Daimler-Puch'' is awarded a 344.3 million euro contract for Pandur II, plus spare parts for 20.7 million euro. * 01/2005 Finnish ''Patria'' alleges misconduct to the Public Attorney’s Office of the Administrative Court in Lisbon.〔(Patria Alleges Misconduct in Portuguese Pandur II Deal ) ''Defence Industry Daily''〕 One of the main claim of ''Patria'' on the award of the contract to General Dynamics is that their proposed offset (''contrapartidas'') package is unrealistic and intentionally misleading. ''Patria'' calls for the legal suspension of the award of the contract to ''General Dynamics''. * 02/2005 Lisbon Court rejects the appeal of ''Patria''.〔¨A suspensão da assinatura do contrato acabaria por ser levantada pelo Tribunal Administrativo e Fiscal de Lisboa, que considerou que a assinatura do contrato não constituía "lesão iminente e irreversível" dos interesses da empresa numa providência cautelar, apresentada em simultâneo, e cujo processo ainda decorre.¨ ()〕 * 15/02/2005 The contract is signed;〔The contract is sealed by Santana Lopes administration 5 days before the general election:¨O TC terá depois um mês para transmitir a sua decisão final, que é determinante para a homologação do contrato assinado no passado dia 15 de Fevereiro pelo ex-ministro da Defesa Paulo Portas, cinco dias antes das eleições legislativas antecipadas¨ ()〕 production is supposed to run from the year 2006 to 2009 at facilities in Portugal and at plants of ''General Dynamics European Land Combat Systems''. * 05/05/2006 ''Fabrequipa'', the plant at Portugal, is certified to manufacture the Pandur II.〔(Steyr reactiva fábrica no Barreiro para produzir carros blindados ) ''Diário de Notícias''〕 * 25/01/2007 ''Fabrequipa'' begins co-production of Pandur II.〔()〕 * 12/2007 Operational tests of a Pandur equipped with the CT-CV turret, with a 105mm gun, from Belgian CMI Defence. * 2008 Operational tests of a Pandur equipped with the Hitfact turret, with a 105mm gun, from Italian Oto Melara. * 24/06/2008 ''Jornal de Negócios'' accuses one of General Dynamics´s main offset fulfillers of industrial espionage.〔Jornal de Negócios, ''Espionagem Industrial, Existe im Portugal e está de boa saudé'', pag. 8, 24/06/2008 ()〕 * 4/04/2010 Czech Republic Prosecutor investigates corruption charges in connection with purchase of GD Pandur.

The possible turrets are the Italian Oto Melara Hitfact and the Belgian CMI Defence CT-CV, both of which already made operational tests at the training field of Portuguese mechanized forces, the Campo Militar de Santa Margarida, in the years of 2007, 2008.〔(Ministério deixa cair as 33 'Pandur' com canhão 105 ) ''Diário de Notícias''〕 * 8/05/2010 Portuguese Minister of Defense implements procedures to charge ''General Dynamics'' with breach of contract.〔 O Ministério da Defesa informou há dias o fabricante das viaturas blindadas Pandur que os atrasos no cumprimento do programa "obrigam à adopção de medidas urgentes e eficazes" para "debelar todos os prejuízos sofridos."()〕 * 20/08/2010 Portuguese Public Prosecutor investigates corruption charges in the award of the contract ''Pandur II''.〔(). ¨O Governo afirmou-se hoje "totalmente disponível para cooperar" com a Justiça relativamente a uma eventual investigação ao processo de compra de 260 viaturas blindadas de rodas Pandur II para as Forças Armadas nacionais.¨(). ¨Um responsável político admitiu também ao DN que o Governo pode seguir uma via semelhante à do Executivo checo - denunciou o contrato com a Steyr e depois aceitou comprar apenas metade das viaturas inicialmente contratualizadas - libertando-se assimdos custos das Pandur por entregar.¨ ().〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Portuguese Pandur」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
