| Source measurement | The Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle ( 化学防護車 , Kagaku-bougo-sha ) is an armoured vehicle , which is used for detecting chemical, radiological, and nuclear hazards. The vehicle is built by Komatsu and it is a derivative of the Type 82 Command and Communication Vehicle . The Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle entered service in 1987 in the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force , which received 47 vehicles of this type .[source]Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle is not designed for direct combat, which is why it only carries armament for self-defence. For that purpose, the vehicle has a 12.7 mm M2HB machine gun with 500 rounds of ammunition.[source]Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle · Characteristics; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | The Wolf Armoured Vehicle ( Hebrew : זאב ) is an armoured personnel carrier , used mainly by the Israeli Defence Force . It was created to provide a better handling and better protected armoured vehicle than the M113 (Bardelas) . The Wolf is a heavily armoured crew carrier, manufactured by the company Carmor . It combines a commercial truck's speed and maneuverability and APC-like armour, qualities necessary for low-intensity confrontation . The Wolf's chassis is based on a Ford F-550 truck, and is equipped with a 6-litre V8 engine capable of reaching 325 horsepower . The engine is combined with a 5-speed automatic transmission , which drives all four wheels, making this a four-by-four .[source]Wolf Armoured Vehicle · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The Wolf consists of a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Ford F-550 chassis modified by Manning Equipment, an OEM up-fitter located in Louisville, KY so it can be easily maintained anywhere. It is equipped with a diesel, 6 litre 325 HP engine and automatic 5 speed transmission. It can weigh up to 8 tonnes . The automotive systems require no changes when the armor is applied. The armor protects crew compartment, automotive elements and wheels. The armor envelope is built independently from the chassis, so it is possible to use the same armor envelope on another chassis (of the same model) when the chassis goes out for service. The hull roof can accept a Remote Weapon Station (RWS) which allows the occupants to engage enemies without exposure.[source]Wolf Armoured Vehicle · Creation / Build; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The vehicle is completely protected, including the wheels, which have run flat tires . The armour is 3 long tons (3,048 kg ), and is not critical to the Wolf's overall weight, since its maximum load is 8 long tons (8,128 kg ). All of the doors of the vehicle are bulletproof, including the engine and gearbox compartments. There are six doors—four on the sides and two at the rear—that enable troops to get in and out easily and quickly with all of their equipment. The vehicle interior is equipped with a double air conditioning system , seats and brackets for items that a soldier might need. Since no major changes have been done to the F-550 chassis , except the addition of armor, the vehicle does not have any problems with engine overheating or handling. The Wolf weighs approximately 8 long tons (8,128 kg ), and can carry a crew of up to 12 personnel, with an additional 2 stretch beds , if necessary. The doors are designed for a quick getaway. Most of the original parts were kept, with the only notable changes being the rear axle and tires.[source]Wolf Armoured Vehicle · Creation / Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
