Notes:
The ARSFV (Armored Reconnaissance Fire Support Vehicle) is a scout and fire
support version of the Pandur APC (see Austrian APCs).
In this guise, the Pandur has a turret armed with a 90mm NATO gun.
A small scout squad is still carried, but passenger space is reduced. The
turret is a Cockerill LCTS-90MP turret, with 22 rounds for the main gun stored
in the turret and all of the machinegun rounds stored in the turret. The main
gun is a 90mm Cockerill Mk 8 rifled gun. The standard machineguns for the turret
are MAG-58s, but Steyr will put virtually any machineguns in the turret. The
commander and gunner have hatches on the turret deck, but the commander’s hatch
is in an electrically-powered cupola with all-around vision blocks. The
commander can aim and fire (but not reload) his machinegun from under armor,
using a monitor attached to his cupola.
This monitor also can display an image from the gunner’s thermal imager
as well as his own image intensifier.
The base engine
of the Pandur II chassis is a Cummins ISC-350 turbocharged diesel with an output
of 285 horsepower, but options include other variants of the ISC-350 with
outputs of 355, 385, or 400 horsepower, and Steyr-Daimler-Puch is willing to
design in other engines at a customer’s request.
Hunter/killer combinations are also offered for the baseline turrets.
Armor is increased somewhat; however, appliqué armor is available for the
hull and all turret/cupola configurations.
(Though there are two firing ports on either side and two in the rear –
appliqué armor normally blocks the side firing ports.) The appliqué armor used
for the Pandur is normally a lightweight appliqué based on ceramic composite
enclosed in thin steel. The baseline configuration gives the crew and passengers
a collective NBC system, with an NBC overpressure system being an option.
Normal access for the troops is via two large doors in the rear, but a
powered ramp can also be fitted.
Other standard equipment includes a front-mounted winch with a capacity of 6
tons, or 12 tons with block and tackle and a laser warning system.
The Pandur ARFSV is also amphibious as standard, propelled in the water
by steerable waterjets. Steering is
power-assisted, and the Pandur II has antilock brakes.
Turning radius is surprisingly small, with the Pandur ARFSV being able to
turn 180 degrees in 9 meters.
