Denel Land Systems

Denel Land Systems is the land warfare division of the South African state-owned Denel group. It descends from Lyttelton Engineering Works, known as LIW from its Afrikaans name, which began as a subsidiary in the commercial network of the state arms procurer Armscor and later became the systems division of the Land Systems Group of Denel. The division designs and builds artillery, including the G5 towed howitzer and the G6 self-propelled howitzer, and small arms such as the R4 assault rifle. Its vehicle products named in the reference article include the Rooikat 8x8 armoured combat vehicle with a 76 mm gun, the Badger 8x8 infantry fighting vehicle, the G7 light howitzer and the G6 Rhino and G6 Marksman variants. In this atlas it is the make under which those Denel land vehicles are grouped.
