Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The command vehicle Panther, a new type of all terrain vehicle currently being deployed for use by British troops in Afghanistan. The version seen here during a demonstration, is of the same design as those already on route to the Middle East.

Weighing 7 tonnes, Panther is air transportable, and can be underslung beneath a Chinook helicopter. Panther is armed with a 7.62 mm L7 general purpose machine gun equipped Remote Weapon Station, which can be upgraded to a 12.7 mm/cal weapon if required, and an appropriate day ight sighting system. The armoured citadel provides crew protection from small-arms fire and Level 3 blast mines.

Panther will be in widespread use with Various Commanders, Sergeant Majors, and Liaison Officers for Armoured, Armoured Recce and Armoured Infantry Units. Panther will also be used as the Commander's vehicle for Engineer Troops, Anti-Tank, Mortar and supporting fire platoons. It will be used to rebroadcast on Battlegroup nets and by Regimental Signal Officers.
