MWMIK Jackalclick to view fullBritain is part of the general push by western countries to field heavier, mine protected vehicles, via orders for the Mastiff Cougar variant and its smaller 44 Ridgback companion. UK forces are also fielding vehicles like the Land Rover WMIK Weapons Mounted Installation Kit that have a very different core concept firepower and visibility over protection. When deployed in mixed groups with more protected vehicles, and used on open terrain like the plains of southern Afghanistan, the porcupine WMIK has earned enemy respect and commander requests. The British sought to build on the WMIKs strengths, while asking for a vehicle that offered both greater firepower, and better off road mobility. In response, Supacats High Mobility Transporter HMT was adapted, then adopted, by the British Jackal and by Australias SAS commandos Nary. Success led to more British orders for Jackal 2 and HMT 6. Coyote designs, and now Australian Special Forces are adding the new Extenda vehicle to their fleet. Supacats MWMIK Jackal Origins and Program. Jackal, frontclick to view fullThe Jackals have a somewhat complicated history. As Battlespace Magazine notes The initial history of the MWMIK was littered with cost overruns, delays and technology changes which resulted in the Mo. D taking IPR for the top hamper design of the vehicle. The vehicle was developed as a result of an Mo. D requirement for replacement of the aging Pink Panther Land Rovers.

Many companies bid the UOR including ATK, Ricardo and Automotive. Technik, but the contract was won by Supacat which ticked all the capability boxes. It rapidly became apparent that the vehicle offered by Supacat, the HMT, although superior in performance and speed, lacked the engineering and support required for the vehicle. Thus, after many months of protracted negotiations, the Mo. D took some IPR over the vehicle which allowed it to purchase further batches, and a deal was hammered out with DML which allowed it to recoup some of the money in establishing the assembly for the initial batch. Supacat had obtained the sales and deign rights for the vehicle from HMT Vehicles Ltd a fledgling Scottish Company owned by the Duke Of Hamilton and the Trustees of the Hamilton Estates along with other investors. Steam Secret World Slow here. Jackal family vehicles are designed by Supacat in Honiton, Devon, but manufacturing is done by a company known for ship building and nuclear submarines.

Canada currently has a special forces vehicle competition underway. Even so, the pace of deliveries has been challenging for Supacat. Supacats HMTs The Vehicles. Jackal Jackal 2click for video. The new Supacat MWMIK Jackal has provisions for 2 crew served weapons, just like the Land Rover WMIK. The other similarity is that its an open vehicle, so the crew has a full field of visibility and fire with rifles, light 5. The Supacat HMT Jackal is larger at 5. Key advantages include smokespecialty grenade launchers as integral fittings, longer driving range, greater carrying capacity 4 tonnes, and far better off road mobility than its Land Rover counterpart. Some concerns did remain, however. Battlespace magazine One stumbling block is believed to be the requirement to armour the front cab, an addition which not only adds weight to the front axle but also overall weight which may affect the ability to heli lift the system. Another area of concern would be mobility in rough terrain with a 64 system with weight added. The Carmichael 64 Fire Engines purchased by the Mo. D in the eighties suffered from problems in rough and wet terrain due to the 3rd trailing non driven axle getting stuck in the mud. Jackal 2click to view fullIn the end, even more armor became mandatory. The follow on Jackal 2 adds weight by adding some side armoring as standard equipment, and providing space for an additional crew member. A larger 6. 7 liter engine replaces the original vehicles 5. Cummins ISBe Euro. The upgraded Jackal 2. As most significant change involves a new cab design with integrated mine blast protection. Supacat says that its easier to build, and offers better protection than the Jackal 2s system. Even so, the HMT familys defenses against mines or small arms fire are best described as limited. An optional Extenda module can add a third axle, turning the vehicle from a 44 into a 64 wheel base, and adding length and storage space. Conversation takes 2 hours, and requires a forklift. The Coyote TSV Light HMT 6. Extenda SOFclick to view fullThe Supacats have very good all terrain capability. Even so, they arent tracked vehicles as Canadas Afghan experiences alongside the British have shown, this can become an operational limitation. Fortunately, the vehicles intended use as a special forces vehicle and long range reconnaissance platform is likely to keep the Jackal away from most of those situations. When the terrain is suitable, the Jackals engine can push it to a top speed of 1. Given convoy operational procedures and the ever present dangers of mines from the enemy or even from the Soviet era, that mobility isnt likely to be used very often during convoy operations. It may help get a scout group or special forces team out of the kill zone quickly, however, should they come under fire in ambushes. Absent protection, it does pay to have speed.
