BRIGHT and ACS Armored Car Systems: Automotive Expertise Meets Defense Requirements

24. July 2026

In the world of armored special-purpose vehicles, every detail counts. Components must fit precisely, systems must work together flawlessly, and electronics must function under the harshest conditions. To meet these requirements, ACS Armored Car Systems (ACS) and BRIGHT are successfully collaborating. The combination of BRIGHT’s many years of automotive expertise and ACS’s extensive experience in the field of military vehicles results in customized solutions for demanding operational scenarios.

Development, Manufacturing, and Integration from a Single Source

BRIGHT supports ACS throughout the entire product development process—from development and manufacturing to integration into the vehicle.

Key service areas include:

  • Component assembly
  • Development and manufacturing of assembly fixtures
  • Vehicle conversions and modifications
  • Wiring harness manufacturing
  • Electrical/electronic integration
  • Electrical simulation and design recommendations

In particular, the retrofitting and integration of new electronic systems into existing vehicles is becoming increasingly important. Production vehicles must be expanded, adapted, and optimized for new functions to meet specific mission profiles. In doing so, we ensure the seamless integration of all systems into the existing vehicle architecture.

Automotive Expertise for the Defense Industry

As an experienced development partner to the automotive industry, BRIGHT brings comprehensive expertise in the areas of system integration and E/E development to our collaboration.

Our strength lies in applying proven automotive standards to the specific requirements of the defense industry. This enables us to efficiently implement even complex, specialized applications.

Many modern defense and security vehicles are now based on civilian vehicle platforms from leading OEMs. These standard vehicles often need to be modified and technologically upgraded to meet specific operational requirements.

BRIGHT supports customers by:

  • Developing customized vehicle solutions
  • Manufacturing components and wiring harnesses
  • Integrating new functions and electronic systems
  • Modifying existing vehicle platforms
  • Testing and validating new systems
