Notes: This is a light cargo vehicle designed specifically for use by light formations in the desert. As such, it was an excellent vehicle for Kuwait, who bought hundreds of them, and some of them were subsequently captured and used by the Iraqis. It can mount a variety of weapons, and has even been tested with a quadruple Swingfire launcher.

Notes: This is the British version of a FAV, designed for reconnaissance and airborne missions in hostile environments. There is a weapon mount on an overhead mount on the roll bar for a NLT/NMT/NHT-compatible weapon or ATGM. The Cobra may be sling-loaded or parachuted.

Notes: This 8x8 all-terrain truck has an unusually tight turning radius, since the front and rear axles are both used for steering. The automotive components, except for the suspension, are slight modifications of those of the Land Rover 110. The cab has a heater and the rear area has a canvas cover. Unusually, the passenger seats in the rear are bucket seats, but they only partially fill the load area. The RAF and Saudi Arabia use the gasoline engine, while Zimbabwe uses the diesel engine version.

Notes: This vehicle was built for the British Royal engineers to carry EOD equipment. It had to be a light vehicle, in order to be transportable by helicopter; Rolba Limited started with an Austrian riding lawn mower! The vehicle was fitted with a wide load-carrying platform and a better driving position. Beneath the decking are a cargo area and the automotive components. The resulting vehicle is surprisingly useful, if not powerful.

Notes: This is a small truck by Land Rover. It is used by the British Army and Air Force, Australia, Egypt, Iran, and Luxembourg, primarily for towing weapons systems such as light howitzers, field guns, heavy mortars, and surface-to-air missile launchers. Some are modified with 81mm mortars or Milan or Swingfire ATGM systems mounted in the truck bed. Some also have hard bodies and are used as workshop vehicles.

Twilight 2000 Notes: This vehicle was being replaced by the Land Rover Defender 130 in British and Australian units prior to the Twilight War, but not enough of the latter vehicle was available to replace all of them.

Notes: Land Rover to meet the requirements of British airborne, airmobile, and Royal Marine units designed this vehicle. It first appeared in the late 1960s, and the British military gradually began replacing these vehicles with the Land Rover Defender 90 and 110 starting in the late 1980s. The APLVs (Air-Portable Light Vehicles) were then sent for duty in units such as the Gurkhas and in Commonwealth nations, as well as in Belize and some African countries. They were still in use by 2000 by Belgium, Brunei, Guyana, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Jamaica, Libya, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, and Sudan. It is similar to other Land Rover designs, but much smaller.

Notes: These Land Rovers largely replaced earlier models in European militaries and some other countries starting in the mid-1980s. They are basically military SUVs, with tough off-road characteristics and military features such as tow hooks, weapons mounts, starter switches, and other such things. They may have hard or soft tops. The Core Military Defender is an improved version of the Defender 90, with a strengthened frame, chassis, and suspension, and can be airdropped. Brakes are also improved. The Defender XD 90 is further improved, with a greater handling, cargo capacity, durability, and ergonomics.

Notes: This is a somewhat larger version of the Defender 90. They have been offered since the mid-1980s, and many civilian sales were made, but military sales were slow until the early 1990s. The suspension has been upgraded and ground clearance has been raised for better off road mobility. The Core Military Defender was the primary military version; interior comfort has been increased, the frame, chassis, and suspension are further strengthened, and a better transmission is fitted. The Defender XD 110 is a further improved version of the Core Military Defender, with increased handling, payload, and ergonomics, as well as improvements to ease maintenance.

Notes: This is an extended chassis version of the Land Rover Defender 110. There are a large number of variants of the 130 available, from cargo/troop carriers to command posts to work shops. Perhaps the most common variant is an ambulance version. It is otherwise similar to the 110.

Notes: Introduced in 1992, after the Persian Gulf War, the SOV (Special Operations Vehicle) is designed to meet a critical role to provide transportation for infantry, which can fulfill a multitude of ordinance needs and be inserted via several different modes. The SOV is capable of mounting a primary weapon in the center top spot (able to mount one NHT-compatible weapon or two NLT/NMT-compatible weapons), and another weapon in front of the front passenger seat (NLT/NMT). The SOV is capable of carrying a number of different items in internal racks, and can carry mortar ammunition, rockets, or ATGMs on side racks. Side bins are also standard to allow the vehicle to carry land mines or explosive charges. The SOV is capable of being carried inside aircraft such as a C-130, CH-47, or EH-101; it may also be slung under medium and heavy lift helicopters as well. (If all else fails, parachute or LAPES may drop it.)

It is notable that 60 or more examples of this vehicle were purchased by the United States for use by their elite Rangers. It is capable of being locally modified from stock Land Rover LWBs. Some models have been modified with armor inserts on the bottom to prevent damage from land mines, and optional armored doors, side plates, and ballistic glass are available. The SOV has become a popular vehicle in England where it was created, as well as in the US. Its flexibility in mounting any type of weapon makes it popular with the average grunt.

Notes: This is basically a heavy, cabover-design Land Rover truck. It is constructed largely of aluminum to make it lighter and has an adjustable seat for the driver. The cab tilts forward for access to the engine and transmission, but regular maintenance can be carried out without tilting the cab. The cabover design allows for a larger load area.

Notes: The British-built, 4x4 Long Wheel Base Land Rover is one of the most commonly seen vehicles in the Third World. Rovers are in service with many armies, police forces, and para-military forces throughout the world, as well as in civilian use. Civilian versions are sometimes converted to military use by a field-expedient weapon mount, added armor (sheet metal or sandbags in improvised frames) and (sometimes) a coat of paint.

Notes: This light amphibious vehicle looks very much like a wheeled metal raft. They were originally built to a Royal Marine specification, but the Royal Marines passed on it and the only buyers were Iraq and Nigeria. (Two were tested by the British in the Falklands as Milan ATGM carriers.) The Saboteur Trooper is an 8x8 vehicle propelled in the water by a propeller. Steering is by twist grips instead of a wheel or tillers. The vehicle has a central post for a weapon.

Notes: The CCV (Cross-Country Vehicle) was designed to produce a light truck able to take a great amount of abuse, be highly mobile both on and off-road, be easy to drive even for inexperienced drivers, and to use then-new concepts such as antilock brakes and all-wheel drive. The original CCV prototypes were built in 1975, with production examples first appearing in 1978 and going to civilian concerns. In 1982, the sole military customer, Malaysia, began receiving their CCVs, and this order was completed in early 1986. Since then, the Stonefield company has changed hands several times, but has continued to produced the CCVs for civilian use, and is also a leader in research into new heavy vehicle subsystems.

The CCV has a chassis which is flexible but torsionally rigid, and is not the traditional ladder-type frame which most vehicles of its type have. This allows off-road mobility on a lower suspension. The CCVs have either 4x4 (P-5000M) or 6x4 (P-5000) suspensions, with all-wheel drive, traction control, antiskid features, and antilock braking. The transmission is fully automatic, and steering is power-assisted. The trucks may be built with left or right-hand drive, depending upon the customer. A large amount of different bodies and specialist equipment may be carried in or in place of the cargo bed. The cab is of the cabover type, and may be all-metal (using a tubular steel frame with sheet aluminum panels), or have a canvas roof. The doors may be metal and permanently attached, or canvas and removable. The side windows may be permanent or removable. The windshield may be upright or folding. The rear cargo area has a tailgate and removable bows with a canvas tilt. The engine is mounted below and behind the cab; the standard engine is a gasoline-powered Chrysler engine, but Stonefield has been known to fit other engines at customer request. Though the drive is 4x4 or 6x4, only one-third of the engine power goes to the front wheels, with the rest going to the rear wheels. This arrangement means that the all-wheel drive may remain engaged at all times, and increases the efficiency of the traction control and antiskid features. Other options include air conditioning, auxiliary fuel tanks, high-efficiency air filters, spotlights, and headlights whose pointing direction may be controlled or vary with the steering direction.

Notes: This light vehicle is produced by Great Britain and used by that country and Mexico. It is a 6-wheeled ATV designed for use by airborne, airmobile, and Marine units. The Supacat has an amphibious capability and can be fitted with tracks for soft snow or mud. Supacats can be used for troop transport and as light weapons carriers, and can tow light field guns and trailers. ATGMs, recoilless rifles, machineguns, grenade launchers, and 60mm and 81mm mortars can be fired from this vehicle. A weapons mount for a machinegun or automatic grenade launcher is provided behind the front seats. The Supacat may be overloaded to 2400kg, traveling at half-speed at this load.

Notes: Similar in concept to the Cargocat and Trooper, the Privateer is a vary simple vehicle, with a small engine compartment up front, a basic set of twin seats up front in a very simple driver position, and a rear area which is mostly a flat bed, with a small sunken box-like area behind the front seats. The cargo "bed" is surrounded by a tubular framework, with roll bars behind the seats and extending to the front. The body of the Privateer is made from reinforced glass-fiber composites with molded-in color of the buyer’s choice. The chassis is steel, and the suspension is 8x8 and each axle has independent suspension. The brakes are designed so that the Privateer may steer in almost the same manner as a tracked vehicle’s pivot steering; the Privateer may in fact turn completely around inside of its own length of 2.74 meters. Options include a passenger seat beside the driver’s seat (which may be folded or removed entirely), an enclosed cabin (which is also made from glass-fiber composites), a reinforced roll cage, a windshield, and a tow hitch. The Privateer was bought in small numbers by the British MoD, but is believed to no longer be in service.
