BAE Systems - RG Outrider [480p]

Based on the most versatile armoured utility vehicles in production today, the RG Outrider is able to fulfil most roles demanding high levels of payload or capacity together with demanding crew survivability.

The latest variant has a V-shaped hull that protects the crew against armour piercing (AP) rifle fire and anti-tank mine detonations. Although the vehicle is a fully fledged light armoured vehicle it sacrifices none of the mobility, agility and ground clearance of its predecessor.

The RG Outrider has a gross vehicle mass (GVM) of only 9.5 tons, classifying it as a light mine protected patrol vehicle. The configuration offers more internal crew space, due to 200mm (8 in) wider hull and 50mm (2 in) increased head space. Windows are externally mounted providing improved side-blast protection while also freeing up space inside the cabin. Other features are an improved 2-ton payload capability and a newly designed load bay which can accommodate a variety of mission-specific equipment, increasing its versatility. The vehicle can also be easily fitted with mission-specific communications and weapons systems, making it a highly tactical vehicle capable of operating in most climates and environmental conditions.

With its high Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) content the RG Outrider provides a cost effective through-life solution with a minimal logistics footprint and the ability to be re-configured with customer required mission equipment.
