British Army Vehicles

 

There is often much confusion amongst readers and especially journalists regarding what vehicles are called. The Army has embarked on a range of vehicular UOR’s to fill specific gaps in capabilities. In days gone by the Army had Land Rovers a range of Bedford trucks, a few odd specialist vehicles and the armour. Now there is an extremely wide range of vehicle types and revisions. Some are going or have recently gone out of service but we have included these for completeness.

Without passing any comment on their utility or suitability here is a list of some of the equipment in service in hot and sandy places, or not!

Its not exhaustive but most kit is there.

    Admin, thanks for this.

    Apart from the tracked stuff, fork lifts, bulldozers & specialty logistics, very small stuff (bikes ,quads etc) i make that roughly 12 different vehicles in the light to medium weight range.
    That’s if you count the land rovers as one type & without inc. Coyote, Jackel & Fuchs.

    We are crazy aren’t we, just plain nuts. Just thinking about the logistics train to supply the spare parts for all this different equipment is making my head hurt. Then i remember that this is just to keep the logistics train going so it can fulfill it’s role of being the logistic’s train/people mover for the Army itself.

    Sorry this is more an observation, but, they really are crazy. The costs of having such a varied fleet of vehicles, sorry forget that bit…….does the army have so many types of vehicles on purpose, as a hedge against the failure of a design in actual use, meaning in a war?

    Hi Scorer,

    It wasn’t clear whether you were looking for just something in the UK service already, or generally.

    Once you decide the size (of what needs launching), there are good data sheets to download here:
    http://www.epicos.com/EPCompanyProfileWeb/Products.aspx?id=669
    “a complete product range for various UAV types (from 10 to 500 kg). The designed maximum launching power is 8,500 kW accordingly”
    - some of them have been performance tested by DERA in the Hebrides
