The PVP Dagger has demonstrated its capacity to be one of the most secure combat vehicle available in the military market after the vehicle was exposed to mine blasts on two occasions during the Barkhane operation in March 2015. Additionally, PVPs operated by the Chilean police were exposed to direct intense firing in an ambush in June 2015. In all three events, the vehicle crew remained protected.
More than 1,200 PVP vehicles are in service with the French army and in countries in Europe, South America and Africa. The Panhard PVP (Petit Véhicule Protégé = Light Protected Vehicle) is an all-terrain liaison, air transportable, high mobility, modular, lightweight, armored vehicle developed to meet the requirements of the French Army. In 2004, the French DGA, délégation générale pour l’armement or Armament Procurement Agency, has awarded a €40 million ($48 million) production contract to société nouvelle des automobiles Auverland (SNAA) for 314 petit véhicule protégé/protected small vehicles (PVP). The PVP offers a protection for the crew STANAG 4569 level 2 and mine floor protection. A large bullet-proof window is mounted at the front of the crew compartment to provide high visibility for the driver and commander vehicle. Two small bullet-proof windows with firing port at the bottom are mounted to each side of the hull. The PVP Panhard has an inside volume of 4.5 m³, providing large inside space area for the crew and soldiers. Standard configuration of the Dagger PVP is fitted with a roof hatch to mount various types of machine guns or automatic grenade launcher. The French PVP is armed with a 7.62mm machine gun or AT4CS light anti-armour weapon. The vehicle can be also fitted with a remote weapon station armed with a machine gun up to 12.7mm or one automatic grenade launcher. The Dagger PVP is powered by an IVECO turbo diesel engine coupled to ZF automatic gearbox with four forward gears and one reverse gear. It can run at a maximum road speed of 120 km/h with a maximum cruising range of 800 km. |
