Notes: This vehicle is in use by the British Army in Northern Ireland, and also in use by police departments all over Great Britain, and by British forces on UN peacekeeping missions. It is basically an armored version of the Land Rover Defender (see British Unarmored Vehicles). By 2000, this vehicle was no longer being marketed or produced, (the company manufacturing it making the Tactica instead), though it was still in use. The basic chassis has steel armor added, and bullet resistant glass installed. The crew enters the cab through doors on each side, and the troops enter through large doors in the rear. The APV is fitted with a ramming bumper. The windows have wire mesh over them to foil grenades and other low-velocity rounds (such as grenade launchers). The tires are run-flat. The roof has a hatch with a weapon mount. Optional equipment includes sirens, firing ports, smoke grenade launchers, flashing lights, spotlights, and winches, and a given APV may have any or all of these.

Notes: This is a lightly-armored car similar in appearance to a larger version of the US Cadillac-Gage Ranger. This vehicle was placed into production for a short time, but the same company (GKN Sankey) developed the much better AT-105 Saxon, and consequently only 30 AT-104s were built. Some survive in use by Brunei and by the Dutch State Police, but most have been scrapped or acquired by museums and private collectors. The chassis is a much-modified version of the Bedford MK truck. The driver is in the front left and has a vision block to the front and side. The commander is to his left. The troops enter through the rear doors, while the commander and driver have doors in the cab. There is another door in the right side. There are two firing ports in the left side, one on the right, and one in each door. The vehicle has a small cupola mounting a machinegun.

Notes: This was designed as a light APC for rapid deployment British units. Later, it was used extensively in Northern Ireland and Hong Kong, and sold to Bahrain, Malaysia, Nigeria, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates, mostly in a police role. Depending on the needs of the country using it, the driver’s position may be on the front left or right, and he has an overhead hatch. The engine is below him in either case, with the troop compartment at the rear. The Troop compartment has a door in either side of the hull and double doors at the rear. There are two firing ports in either side of the hull and one in each rear door; these are merely slits that slide open and can take any weapon up to a 40mm grenade launcher in size. Early versions used a gasoline engine, but most versions in service by 2000 have a diesel engine. Most also have a small turret with a machinegun.

The ambulance version of the Saxon is minimally appointed for the medical role, but does have stretchers, a selection of medical supplies, an oxygen tank, and a doctor's medical bag. Its shock absorbers are better than the average Saxon, and it has air conditioning and heating. Bins have been added to the sides and top of the vehicle for supplies.

The Saxon Command Vehicle is a command post variant of the Saxon APC, normally used at the platoon and company level. It carries slightly heavier armament than the Saxon APC, but its primary use is as a command and staff vehicle, so it carries at least two radios, a map board, a teleprinter, a folding table and chairs, and various storage drawers.

The Saxon Incident Control Vehicle was the first version of the Saxon issued to police, in Hong Kong, Nigeria, Oman, and the UK. They are standard Saxons with doors on either side of the hull, wire mesh screens to deflect Molotov cocktails, an actual turret instead of a superstructure, a front-mounted obstacle-clearing blade, smoke-grenade dischargers, and a low-light TV system on an extendable boom on the rear deck of the vehicle with a monitor, VCR, and playback systems inside the hull.

The Saxon LHD is a Saxon APC fitted with heavier armament and a better turret. It is otherwise as the standard Saxon APC.

The Saxon Patrol was designed for British police and Army forces in Northern Ireland, replacing the Humber One-Ton. It is an improved Saxon Incident Control Vehicle, and has all the features of that vehicle except the wire mesh screens. In addition, the Saxon Patrol has a diesel instead of a gasoline engine, roof-mounted searchlights trainable in all directions, an anti-wire device, an armored radiator cover, upgraded brakes, and run-flat tires.

Notes: This is a very light armored car used by Britain, primarily in UN peacekeeping roles. It is based on the Land Rover Defender, and is armored with a glass composite substance. Windows are bullet resistant. The armor is surprisingly effective for its weight and does not result in spalling during hits. There are doors on both sides of the cab, a large door in the rear, and sliding hatch in the roof where infantrymen can stand.

Notes: This vehicle, designed shortly after the Second World War, is more commonly known as the Pig to its British crews. By the late 1960s, most of them had been withdrawn from service and many scrapped, but soon thereafter much of the remainder were recalled for service in Northern Ireland when supplies of the Saracen and Saxon ran short. The Pig is basically an armored truck (though purpose-built as an APC), with the driver and commander in front in a cab, and a rear passenger area with two doors in the rear face and two firing ports in each side and a firing port in each rear door. As these firing ports are merely shuttered rectangular openings, they may take any sort of weapon of up to 40mm size. The bullet resistant windshield and windows in the front and sides of the cab may be covered with armored shutters. The driver and commander have doors on either side of the cab, and also have hatches directly above them. In the 1970s, the Humbers had armor added.

Notes: This is a large armored car with a passing resemblance to the old BTR-152. It is designed for more intense rioting and urban raid situations where more troops are needed. The British use it in Northern Ireland, and it is also used in Bahrain, Egypt, and Sri Lanka. It is basically an armored truck, with an engine in front, cab behind it, and a rear troop area. The cab has bullet resistant windows, and crew and troops enter through side doors behind the cab or two large doors in the rear of the hull. There are two firing ports on each side of the hull, and each of the rear doors also has a firing port. The roof has a small, one-man turret armed with a machinegun, and this turret usually has a pair of four-barrel smoke grenade launchers.

Notes: This was one of the first British APCS developed after World War 2. It was phased out of British service in 1993, and partially scrapped or sold off. By the 1990s, some 25% of them were upgrade with a diesel engine, but most still used the gasoline engine. The driver enters the vehicle through the two rear doors, but he can open three armored windshields to the front and sides of his position. The turret has a small hatch on the roof. The rear deck has a ring mount with a weapon mount, and there are three firing ports on each side and two in the rear doors. These firing ports are merely swing-up shutters, and any weapon of up to 40mm in size that has no backblast can be used from them.

The Saracen Ambulance (FV-611) is externally similar to the Saracen CPV FV-604; internally, it contains medical equipment and stretcher racks. The FV-611 has a refrigerator for perishable medical supplies, 3 stretchers, a doctor's medical bag, a platoon's worth of refills for the personal medical kit, an air conditioning and heating unit, a respirator, a defibrillator, and a selection of other medical supplies. A 5kW generator is carried to power the vehicle when the engine is turned off.

The Saracen Command Post Vehicle is a command and staff vehicle variant of the standard FV-603 Saracen. In this version, the Saracen is equipped with at least 4 radios, a map board, a folding table and chairs, and a tent attached to the rear that doubles the available work area when erected at a halt. Large stowage baskets are added to the sides of the vehicle for items like a generator or other bulk items. The FV-610 version is used at brigade or higher levels; it differs from the FV-604 in that it is wider, higher, has an extra map board, two extra radios and a 5kW generator fitted as standard. Neither of these vehicles has the turret of a Saracen APC.

Twilight 2000 Notes: In 1997, the remaining stocks were returned to service to replace vehicle losses, and they became a common sight in the British Isles and to a lesser extent, in Europe. South Africa likewise took theirs out of service shortly before the war, but also returned them to service later. Indonesia, Jordan, Lebanon, Mauritania, Nigeria, and Sri Lanka also used them during the Twilight War.

Notes: This is a British-made armored personnel carrier that had sales only to the Philippine Army and police, largely for internal security and crown suppression roles. The Simba is fitted with a light turret with a hatch on the roof for the commander. There is a door on the left side and another on the rear of the hull. There are two firing ports on either side of the hull, and another on the rear in the door.

The Low-Profile APC is a Standard APC with the turret removed. This allows for more internal space. This type is in common use by police forces.

The Simba IS (Internal Security) is a Simba APC fitted with different weapons in its turret and different accouterments, such as a public address system, siren, mesh armor to stop Molotov cocktails, and a winch with 100 meters of cable and a 5-ton capacity to tear down obstacles. This vehicle was sent by Philippine authorities when they were feeling slightly more charitable. The grenade launcher is a version of the standard 40mm single-shot grenade launcher, but fires only APERS with rubber pellets, a baton round, or irritant gas.

The Simba AIFV is a Simba APC fitted with a larger, heavier turret with heavier weapons. It is roughly equivalent to the LAV-25 in concept.

Notes: This vehicle was built for the British Army for use in Northern Ireland. Since then, it has been bought by Argentina, Indonesia, Kuwait, Mauritius, and Singapore. It is a light APC designed for internal security and riot control. Two versions are available: a seven-passenger patrol version, and a 12-passenger APC version. These vehicles are often armed with water cannons, but can be armed with conventional weapons. The vehicles have troop seats down the sides (3 or 5 on each side), and two on the bulkhead separating the cab from the troop compartment. There are three firing ports on each side in the patrol vehicle, and four on each side on the APC. Two more are in the rear of the vehicle, which has large twin doors for a rapid exit. The roof has a cupola with a hatch and a weapon mount; this cupola usually also mounts a pair of four-barrel smoke grenade launchers.

This light APC is based on the Belgian BDX. It is primarily meant for internal security purposes, but has enough armor and speed to make is somewhat useful on the battlefield. It is very similar in appearance to the BDX, but has a different front windshield arrangement and looks on the whole a bit chunkier. The floor of the vehicle has been designed with mines in mind, and the protection is equal to the front armor value. The inside of the hull is padded for crew safety and to dampen noise. The driver has a hatch over his position, and the commander has a hatch in his cupola. On the sides of the hull are small doors. There is a larger door in the rear. There are three firing ports in each side of the passenger compartment, and one in the rear door.
