Following behind the Mastiff is a new British Army Vehicle, which would be used throughout almost any theatre of war. Warthog is a modified and better protected version of the Singapore Army Bronco. It will be equipped with an upgraded cooling and filtration system, Bowman BCIP 5 communications fit, mine blast protection and Electronic Counter Measures (ECM). Warthog will provide Protected Mobility (PM) for the infantry with its protection, firepower and mobility. It will also operate in a Mounted Close Combat (MCC) role and provide support to Dismounted Close Combat (DCC). The vehicle is able to operate in a range of environments including the Green Zone and desert areas of Afghanistan. Warthog with its associated communications, ECM suite, mine blast protection, load carriage, crew served weapon system and increased tactical mobility & range will be a considerable enhancement to elements of ground manoeuvre capability in Afghanistan. Firepower All Warthogs are equipped with a crew served weapon system. This provides them with a protected weapon station from which the commander will be able to quickly deliver fire on either the 7.62mm General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG) or 0.5 Calibre Heavy Machine Gun (HMG). The mount allows accurate, suppressive fire out to 1000m allowing for effective self defence or the provision of fire support when required. Mobility Warthog has been designed to be easily moved by air, sea, rail, road and landing craft. When operating it has the ability to cover some of the most demanding types of ground.

The time passed for the Construction of a warthog, and it was completed sucsessfully aswell as passing through all given tests of movement through all terrain, weapon tests and some slight improvements along the way. It has another HMG attached to the back carriage for additional security, with bullet proof glass surrounding it except where the gun enplacement is. Tests will continue to see how to improve it for the field of war, currently 5 have been constructed; and has started at a low rate of 5 a month. |
