CONfIGuRATION

There are different driveline options available depending on the client preference.

The Marauder is an extremely flexible and agile battlefield tool with outstanding mine and ballistic protection. It accommodates a crew of two in the front plus eight fully equipped soldiers in the rear. Marauder can be configured as a simple armoured personnel carrier or as an effective wheeled combat vehicle by the addition of appropriate weapon systems, making it ideal for conventional and unconventional missions.

Marauder can be supplied in standard or stretched versions which offer extra space to carry more troops and extra stores. There are different driveline options available depending on the client preference. The vehicle can be reconfigured in a modular manner to meet the specific threat faced in day-to-day operations. Cost effective Commercial off-the-Shelf (COTS) components and assemblies from volume manufacturers reduce the cost of ownership and increase the reliability of the vehicle throughout its service life.

fIREPOWER TO SuIT A RANGE Of MISSIONS

All of Paramount’s vehicles can be fitted with a weapon system. Marauder can accommodate a wide range of weapons systems ranging from a 7.62 mm machine gun on a simple “pintle mount”, right up to heavy machine guns of 12.7 mm or 14.5 mm calibre, to remotely operated overhead weapon stations mounted with anti-tank missiles.

Turret designs and capabilities will vary according to customer requirements including the calibre of the weapon system and whether the system is mechanically operated, electrically driven, or even a remotely operated weapon station. A range of further enhancements can be integrated to include missile systems and defensive aids suites.

The Marauder is rugged, robust and offers outstanding cross-country agility. With reserves of power in hand, it is able to cross all types of terrain at speed. It can be airlifted (C130 and Chinook) with little preparation and provides excellent strategic mobility.

Designed to handle up to 4 500 kg payload, the Marauder offers outstanding flexibility in the choice of weapons and mission specific equipment. With the ability to carry extra fuel tanks, water and combat supplies it can be deployed for long-range patrol or quick reaction force operations. Day/night vision devices and extra sensors can be fitted to provide 24/7 operability.

With reserves of power in hand it is able to cross all types of terrain at speed.

MObILITY

Additional armour can be added to protect against specific threats such as RPG.

PROTECTION

All of Paramount Group’s armoured vehicles are designed to provide the best possible protection, ensuring optimum survivability for the crew. The Marauder is independently proven to offer mine protection up to 8 kg TNT (STANAG 4569 level 3b) anywhere under the hull and 14 kg TNT (greater than STANAG 4569 level 4a) for a blast under any wheel. It is fitted with a double-skinned spaced armour hull throughout the cabin and crew compartment to protect it against kinetic attack up to STANAG 4569 level 3 and 50 kg IED explosions. Additional armour can be added to protect against specific threats such as RPG and increased kinetic attack up to STANAG 4569 level 4.

Specially designed anti-blast seats prevent injury from the extreme acceleration of a side blast or a mine blast under the hull.

Armoured Ambulance

The Marauder armoured ambulance is fitted with a full field ambulance suite, which includes two stretchers and seating for two combat medics and two sitting patients. Comprehensive onboard emergency medical equipment includes full emergency first aid equipment and supplies, a ventilator/resuscitator, oxygen supply, IV tracks and secure storage for all medical items.

The ambulance is ideally suited for so-called hot extraction of patients in mine-threatened and other hostile environments where its high levels of passenger comfort and off-road capabilities are of particular importance; especially where on-road driving poses a high risk.

In military configuration the ambulance is fitted with reversible or retractable markings, while for peacekeeping and other non-war operations, it can be fitted with the required markings, emergency lights and siren.

APC

A 10-seat (driver, commander plus eight) multi- role armoured and mine protected vehicle capable of fulfilling a wide range of operational missions with an equally wide range of payload, seating and weapon choices, Marauder can be field reconfigured to meet mission-specific requirements.

With a payload of 4 500 kg, Marauder’s flexibility is enhanced by its capacity to accommodate substantial additional protection against IEDs and other threats and additional fuel and water to enable long-range and long duration operations.

While primarily a military vehicle, the Marauder APC is eminently suitable for applications in the peacekeeping, paramilitary and law enforcement environments while it can also be readily reconfigured as an emergency ambulance with two field stretchers.

vARIANTS

Anti-armour fire Support vehicle

The Marauder Anti-Armour Fire Support Vehicle (AAFSV) is fitted with an anti-tank missile launching remote weapon station for the protection of infantry units against armour threats. The system has full day/night capability with ranges up to 5 000 m and is fitted with a 12.7 mm co-axial machine gun for close protection.

While the Marauder’s ample transparent armour offers wide fields of view for target location and identification, the missiles are remotely launched allowing engagement from hull-down positions.

Infantry fire Support vehicle

The Marauder Fire Support Vehicle (IFSV) is a standard APC reconfigured for this role and fitted with a 12.7 mm or 14.5 mm heavy machine gun in a manned one-man turret or remote weapon station. In both systems the weapon operator is under armour.

The weapon system includes a day/night video camera and sight for observation and for target identification, acquisition and engagement. Accuracy and first round hit capability is enhanced through the provision of a laser range finder.

The IFSV can be deployed at various levels in the unit to augment the fire power of other APCs, which may only be fitted with smaller calibre weapons.

Command vehicle

The Marauder Command Variant is equipped with a full command suite to client specifications, which includes communications and other electronic equipment. Optional additional facilities include an auxiliary power unit, command post side tent, telescopic mast and others. Command stations within the vehicle include workstations, communications interfaces and appropriate seating without adversely affecting protection, mobility and other attributes.

Full command facilities are available while the vehicle is static or on the move while command post facilities such as the tent can be rapidly deployed and folded away.
