BAE Systems debuts RG35 multi-role fighting vehicle

Issue No. 19 | October 01-15, 2012

BAE Systems launched the latest 6x6 variant of the RG35 family of vehicles – the RG35 multi-purpose blast protected fighting vehicle – at the 2012 Africa Aerospace and Defence (AAD) exhibition.

The RG35 6x6 has an 8.5-tonne payload, a 12-cubic metre volume under armor, can seat up to 14 crew members, and carry light and medium remote controlled weapon stations. Like the 4x4 variant, the latest 6x6 variant includes independent suspension and a side mounted power-pack that can be replaced in less than one hour.

The RG35 family of vehicles can be deployed in many different roles and offers a choice of variants and configurations while maintaining 80 per cent vehicle commonality. RG35 combines the high levels of survivability of the RG31 mine protected vehicle with the tactical capability of an infantry fighting vehicle.

Integrated onto the vehicle at AAD was the TRT-B25 (tactical remote turret) also from Land Systems South Africa.
