The RG-31 is a 4x4 armoured vehicle personnel carrier designed and maunfactured in South Africa Alvis OMC (now BAE Systems) to be used as border patrol vehicle and give protection against conventional and land mine threats. The first RG-31 vehicles were completed in South Africa late in 1998. The RG-31 has been successfully deployed with peacekeeping forces in Bosnia and Lebanon and is also in service with the US Army and several other forces. Its excellent levels of protection against landmines makes it a highly effective multi-role light armoured vehicle capable of a variety of military applications. The RG-31 is available as an Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) or utility vehicle configuration. The latter can be utilised for cargo or the mounting of a variety of modular weapon systems such as 81 mm mortar, 106 mm RCL and 20 mm cannon. These variants are also readily adaptable to a variety of other applications including command vehicles, rapid intervention, urban or rural patrol and explosive ordinance disposal. |
