KC3 Concrete Equipment Limited has been commissioned to upgrade 10 military mixers to align with the specifications of current KC3 models and for them to continue to be fully supported. Enhancements include improved hydraulic systems for faster mixing speeds and other refinements based on user feedback. Despite being in service for over 15 years, the fleet remains very reliable—a credit to its robust, simple design and first-class maintenance by the asset owner Amey Defence Equipment Limited.

For military operations, airfields are essential infrastructure, facilitating aircraft take-offs and landings for offensive, defensive, and logistical missions. The rapid repair of airfield damage is, therefore, a priority for armed forces worldwide. The British Army has relied on a fleet of VCMs for ADR since 2010, with the units initially designed and manufactured by Nurock Mixers in Liverpool, UK. These mixers were built to meet specific military requirements, including off-road capability, and were further supported by NATO codification of all parts, the production of Army Equipment Support Publications, and training beyond that provided for commercial off-the-shelf equipment
