Due to its weight the 6x6 version of the Eagle might not really fit in the<br />

“light” armoured vehicles category, however being a direct derivative of<br />

the 4x4 it can be considered a patrol vehicle on steroids that can provide<br />

support to its 4x4 forebears. (GDELS)<br />

the Eagle 4x4’s at 2.28 metres. The APC can transport a twoman<br />

crew plus 10 dismounts in the protected 11 m3 rear cabin<br />

the roof of which is raised by 20 centimetres compared to the<br />

crew cabin. This of course increases the curb weight to 10<br />

tonnes which in turn reduces payload allowance to 5 tonnes.<br />

The ambulance version has a similar layout but the rear roof<br />

height is raised by a further 20 centimetres giving a protected<br />

volume of 12.5 m3. Curb weight likewise increases to 10.5 t<br />

for a payload capacity of 4.5 tonnes. The vehicle can carry two<br />

stretched casualties and two medical assistants, plus the twoman<br />

crew in the front cab. The greater payload is obtained with<br />

the utility vehicle, which features a two-man crew cabin and a<br />

flatbed able to receive 7.5 tonnes of cargo. In its presentation<br />

at Eurosatory GDELS showed a recovery variant based on the<br />

utility vehicle. Protection levels were not announced, although<br />

these might be in the high tier of the weight category, payload<br />

margins allowing for further amenities such as bar-armour. In<br />

June <strong>2012</strong> a single prototype had been thoroughly tested and<br />

was available for customers demonstration, while a second<br />

one was under construction. The company looked at Germany<br />

Otokar is offering its support for setting up assembly or production lines<br />

in those countries that might be interested in buying the Cobra light<br />

armoured vehicle in substantial numbers. (Otokar)<br />
