Thales Australia's ground-breaking Hawkei Australian Light Protected Vehicle has passed a UK.

| Archives

Thales Australia's ground-breaking Hawkei Australian Light Protected Vehicle has passed a significant milestone with the successful completion of the first series of mine blast tests on the passenger compartment. Conducted on a full monocoque hull prototype, the test involved a high level blast beneath the centre of the vehicle, representing the type of detonation that occurs when a vehicle passes directly over a land mine. The Hawkei's hull has also recently been successfully tested against IED fragments, another key operational threat. These tests are part of a series designed to ensure that the Australian designed and built Hawkei provides the highest possible protection for Australian soldiers. The data gathered during the blast testing from full anthropomorphic dummies will be used to further refine the blast management system used in the vehicle. Achieving the highest levels of protection in the light vehicle class is one of the primary goals for the Hawkei design team, which includes Plasan Sasa, one of the world's foremost armour solutions companies.Thales Australia's ground-breaking Hawkei Australian Light Protected Vehicle has passed a significant milestone with the successful completion of the first series of mine blast tests on the passenger compartment.
