During the ongoing Eurosatory defense and security fair, Edge Systems is presenting its latest innovation in the field of military ambulances, the RABDAN 8x8 Ambulance. This new vehicle combines combat readiness with extensive medical capabilities, setting a new standard in battlefield medical assistance.

Designed with the same high level of protection as its predecessor, the RABDAN 8x8 armored vehicle, the RABDAN Ambulance is intended to protect the medical crew and patients from the most serious threats during rescue missions. The sturdy structure of the ambulance allows it to navigate through difficult terrain, keeping pace with front-line units thanks to its 600 hp turbocharged and inter-cooled diesel engine and a sophisticated six-speed automatic transmission system.

The total weight of the vehicle can reach up to 30,000 kg and it offers various configurations for the crew and patients. It can transport one driver, one commander, two medics, two patients on stretchers, and three seated patients, or transport three stretchered patients by reducing the number of seated patients. Its dimensions, with a length of 8.45 meters, a width of 3.25 meters, and a height of 2.72 meters, allow for a spacious interior that facilitates efficient medical operations and patient handling.

In terms of mobility, the RABDAN Ambulance has a maximum speed of over 100 km/h and can even cross water obstacles with an amphibious speed of up to 9 km/h. Its climbing capability reaches 60% and it can handle a side slope of 30%. With a minimum ground clearance of 0.45 meters, it easily overcomes vertical obstacles up to 0.7 meters and can cross trenches up to two meters wide.

The medical suite inside the ambulance is comprehensive, including a stretcher loading system, advanced oxygen systems, ventilators, defibrillators, and much more. The medical equipment ensures that all necessary tools are at hand to provide immediate care in field conditions, including specialized kits for burns, splints, and spinal injuries.

Standard equipment on the RABDAN includes a driver’s vision enhancement system, a situational awareness system, and an automatic fire extinguishing and suppression system. The ambulance also offers optional equipment such as a radio and intercommunication system, C4I systems for command and control, and a navigation system.

With the unveiling of the RABDAN 8x8 Ambulance, Edge Systems not only reinforces its commitment to innovation in military technology but also significantly contributes to the evolution of medical response capabilities in conflict zones. The vehicle is currently on display at Eurosatory, attracting the attention of defense professionals and government officials worldwide seeking to enhance their medical service fleets.
