Armoured Land Rover Huzar proposed for Polish land forces

Grzegorz Holdanowicz

The Poland-based Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) company, responsible for the local marketing of both brands, has launched a campaign to promote specialised Land Rover Defender all-terrain vehicle variants to the Polish armed forces.

This decision was reportedly based on positive feedback from the country's Grom special operations force, which has operated four Defender 110 vehicles since 2003 and ordered six more in October 2004.

Today, the standard Polish military 4x4 vehicle is the Honker 2000 produced by Intrall Poland (previously Andoria Mot and Daewoo Motor Poland). JLR, in close co-operation with the Wroclaw-based automotive engineering company TEAM and the AMZ Kutno vehicle customisation company, is now offering the 6x6 lightly armoured vehicle Huzar, derived from Land Rover's Defender 130, to the Polish military.

JLR is responsible for marketing and provides funding; TEAM is providing experience from a recent 6x6 vehicle programme for underground use in Polish copper mines; and AMZ Kutno designed and installed the modular armour package.

The Huzar vehicle was unveiled during the MSPO 2004 exhibition in Kielce, and was handed over to Poland's military automotive and armour technology institute (WITPiS) in Sulejowek for type certification in November.

So far, interest has been received from Poland's special forces and the Interior Ministry's counter-terrorist units, as well as from the army combat engineers who have a requirement for an armoured carrier for remotely controlled bomb-disposal robots and their operators.

The Huzar 6x6 chassis has also been proposed as a platform for surface-to-air missile launchers. In co-operation with AMZ Kutno, JLR also decided to develop an armoured ambulance variant, that could supplement the in-service Italian SCAM vehicles.

The Huzar concept is also being promoted for the two newly formed military police (Zandarmeria Wojskowa) battalion-sized intervention units, based in Gliwice and in Minsk Mazowiecki, that from 2006 will be ready for international peacekeeping and peace enforcement operations.

The Huzar resembles the 1980s-developed Australian Perentie long-range vehicle of that country's Regiment.

However, the Polish design received several improvements that would make it better suited for current and emerging requirements. It is powered by Land Rover's 2.5-litre (90 kW) turbo diesel with a modern injection system and a five-speed gearbox (as opposed to the Perentie's Isuzu 3.9-litre turbo diesel). Huzar is equipped with a combination of spiral springs and gas-operated springs to better regulate the stiffness of the suspension, which is useful during machine gun firing or target spotting on the move.

With the electronics added to the engine, which improves the power by 20 per cent, the 3,400 kg (maximum combat weight: 5,200 kg) Huzar is capable of a top speed of 145 km/h on the road (loaded with basic armour, driver and co-driver).

Eventually, the JLR-led team plans to offer three types of the Huzar: the A-model based on the Defender 130, the B-model (Defender 110) and the C-model (Defender 90).

All models can be fitted with modular Class IV armour including top protection. The wheels are equipped with inserts that allow driving even after a has been hit by machine gun fire. The bottom of the vehicle is said to be protected against landmines

Baut die Firma sowas noch und weiß da jemand einen Preis,
für eine zivile Version?
Ein Fahrgestell mit Singlecab würde reichen.

Du kannst auch beio der Landy Scheune oder Foleysw Specialized Vehicles nachfragen, die können Dir sowas auch bauen.

Zivilversionen gibt es meines Wissens bisher nicht vom "Perentie" und dessen Nachbauten, wenngleich es einige 3 Achser gibt. Diese sind aber meist 4x6 und keine 6x6!

So long,

Die perentie ist allerdings breiter als ein gewöhnlicher Defender.

Aha.
Das ist aber kein Perentie sondern ein Huzar.
