United Arab Emirates Company EDGE entity NIMR unveiled an upgraded version of its Long Range Security Operations Vehicles (LRSOV) at IDEX 2023. The upgraded LRSOV is lighter and has more power for traversing all terrains.
LTSOV features a high-strength rollover protection system, front and rear underslung capability, adaptive roof ring mounting, and a removable, foldable roof structure for easy transportation. Delivering exceptional off-road performance, the LRSOV is especially suited to long-range reconnaissance missions typically undertaken by Special Forces.
Following the delivery of 1 ‘golden unit’ vehicle, which passed multiple trials and tests, NIMR signed a follow-on contract to deliver ten LRSOVs by the end of 2023. The NIMR AJBAN Long Range Special Operations Vehicle (LRSOV) is an open-top 44-foot long-range reconnaissance vehicle designed for Special Forces use. The vehicle is small enough to be flown by helicopter. The vehicle can be configured to carry a variety of user-specified equipment.
The AJBAN LRSOV is built on NIMR’s multi-purpose platform, designed to meet various military needs, from utility vehicles to fully protected tactical vehicles. The LRSOV accommodates four crew members, with an optional fifth seat, and provides all-around situational awareness and self-defence from a high-mounted heavy machine gun ring and gun mounts at all crew positions. Ballistic and blast protection are available as options for the vehicle. The vehicles’ modular design allows for multi-mission variants to meet the user’s needs, with NIMR developing bespoke configurations from the base vehicle architecture if necessary.
