The OTT Group of Companies, a global leader in armoured vehicle design and manufacturing, is excited to announce its participation as an exhibitor at the Africa Aerospace & Defence (AAD) 2024 exhibition, which will take place from 18 to 22 September 2024. AAD is Africa's premier defence and aerospace event, attracting industry leaders and participants from around the world. This year’s exhibition promises to be particularly significant, focusing not only on the latest advancements in defence technology but also on the growing importance of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) within the sector. With the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) and the South African Defence Industry entering a new phase of collaboration, AAD2024 will serve as a crucial platform for companies to secure their position in this evolving landscape.
As part of its commitment to supporting the SANDF and the local defence industry, OTT Solutions, in partnership with the OTT Group of Companies, has initiated the Ratel Life Extension Programme (SLEP). This programme is designed to significantly enhance the mobility, protection, and firepower of the Ratel infantry fighting vehicle, showcasing the collaborative efforts within South Africa's defence sector to deliver innovative and cost-effective solutions. Successful demonstrations of this programme have already been conducted at Gerotek for the Department of Defense and Military Veterans, as well as a firepower exercise at Lohatla.
OTT Solutions (Pty) Ltd has a fleet of armoured vehicles available for rental, with or without skilled drivers, for tasks such as strikes and riot control. In collaboration with our trusted partner, Truck & Training Logistics (Pty) Ltd, we provide a comprehensive range of services, including mechanical repairs and the refurbishment of armoured vehicles. Special rates are available for long-term rentals, and we offer 24/7 roadside assistance, along with essential mechanical support and drivers specifically trained for armoured vehicles. Our focus is on delivering a seamless and professional experience through hands-on management and dedicated service.

OTT is also the proud owner of LMT Products, founded in 1999, which provides advanced protected mobility solutions to clients in both the local and international defence and security industries. With the recent acquisition of ADG Mobility (ADGM), OTT’s engineering capabilities have been further strengthened. ADGM brings expertise in military vehicle design, landmine and ballistic survivability, military off-road mobility, and prototype development.
We look forward to participating in AAD2024, where we will engage with key stakeholders from across the defence industry, including government officials, industry leaders, and both national and international representatives. This event presents an opportunity to reflect on our achievements, discuss future challenges and opportunities, and reaffirm our commitment to advancing South Africa’s role in the global defence landscape. Together, we aim to navigate the complexities of the modern defence industry and drive innovation in partnership with the public and private sectors.
