CSG Launches U.S. Defense Subsidiary to Expand Artillery and Tactical Vehicle Footprint — CZECHOSLOVAK GROUP a.s.

Event summary

CSG launched CSG Land Systems North America, a new U.S. subsidiary headquartered in Michigan.
The subsidiary will represent Excalibur Army, Tatra Defence, and Tatra Trucks, focusing on self-propelled artillery systems and high-mobility tactical vehicles.
Jason Alejandro Monahan, former VP of a major U.S. defense contractor, will lead the new entity.
CSG previously secured a $2 billion contract with the U.S. Army for a 155 mm artillery facility in Iowa.

The big picture

CSG’s move underscores the growing demand for advanced artillery and tactical vehicle solutions in the U.S., driven by lessons from conflicts like Ukraine. The company is positioning itself as a long-term partner in America’s defense industrial base, leveraging its European expertise and existing relationships with NATO allies. This expansion follows CSG’s recent $2 billion contract win, signaling its commitment to deepening its footprint in the U.S. defense sector.
