Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Hehe cool video. Funny story. I remember when they came out with the FMTV's, which are the new replacements to the Deuce-and-a-halfs, they showed a video of how it could climb a big sandy hill, not once, not twice, but three times! It was the same video put on loop, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 RG Outrider Debut at AUSA Winter 2010 BAE Systems has unveiled today the RG Outrider, an all-terrain armor protected vehicle based on the successful RG series, in service with the US special operations, Swedish forces and Spanish forces operating in Afghanistan. Outrider is a follow-on to the RG32M designed and built in South Africa. A light armored vehicle, RG Outrider is designed for first response situations and extreme off-road driving to meet special operations needs. This mine-resistant armor protected (MRAP) vehicle weighs 9.5 tons and features a widened and higher hull. The vehicle can be used for command, liaison and scouting roles, offering a spacious load bay and good all-round visibility through the blast and bullet proof windows. The vehicle has a V shaped monocoque welded steel hull to deflect mine blast while externally mounted armor kit provides improved side-blast protection while also freeing up space inside the cabin. ?Although the vehicle is a fully fledged light armoured vehicle it sacrifices none of the mobility, agility and ground clearance of its predecessor.? Says BAE Systems Global Tactical Systems president Dennis Morris. The vehicle was first unveiled last month at the Nevada Automotive Test Center's Vehicle Systems Demonstration Technology Rodeo at Carson City, Nevada.

Athlon64~SPARTA~ Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Armored, Blast Protected Capsule for the HMMWVIn February 2010 Textron Marine & Land Systems and Granite Tactical Vehicles Inc. have won the first order for three modified High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs) for evaluation by the Marine Corps Warfighting Lab. The three vehicles will demonstrate upgraded configurations of HMMWVs with armored, blast-protected capsules mounted on an M1114, M1151-A1/REVB and M1165. The Marines will test the vehicles' mobility, thermal and durability performance in March 2010. The corps have already completed blast and ballistic testing on the vehicle.

Photo via: Textron Marine & Land Systems The vehicles are modified with blast-protected armored capsules developed by Granite, to increase the vehicle's survivability, while maintaining the high mobility and payload capabilities, the HMMWV had in the past. The Granite capsule for the HMMWV was designed by former Navy S.E.A.L. Christopher Berman, founder of Granite Tactical Vehicles. Berman?s idea is to retrofit existing HMMWVs with the armored, blast-protected V-shaped capsule. Since the fully protected monocoque capsule replaces the passenger compartment of the HMMWV, including the add-on armor, the weight distribution and gross vehicle weight are within the vehicle's limits, maintaining the HMMWV's mobility and stability. As can be seen from the photos on this page, the modufied vehilce is slightly wider and higher than a standard unprotected HMMWV. Textron Marine & Land Systems and Granite Tactical Vehicles Announced their teaming agreement in January 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
