Polaris Defense systems

Bumpu

Pretty good little light vehicles, we should use these for heli deployment rather than drop a billion dollars on growlers.

Perfect scout & salv car for my zombie forteress i am building in my head K/omrade

Question: could you attach some sort of rocket pod/TOW/Javelin system turret on the back and have it controlled from the passenger side?

It's just one of those goddamn golf carts thats mediocre at off-road. They paint shit tan these days and call it "military grade"

>>30262832
God damned badass.

So its a normal polaris with a rollcage and painted in FDE?

Easy for parts/logistics and economies of scale i'd assume.


Why not something like pic related?

>Polaris

>Belt driven

Among the phrases that will never be uttered, ever, there is

>I'm going to get me one of those vehicles with the fancy new belt drive system.

>>30266691
>Why not something like pic related?

Because it costs more while having no real advantage over a MRZR D4.

Likely overpriced for what they are. It should not be legal to pull the kind of shit a company like Kimber does.

https://news.usni.org/2016/06/13/20153

They will be testing them here in a week or two for rimpac. Pretty neat vehicles. Turbo diesel, maybe a few other modifications.

I bet they haul ass.

>>30266041
I feel like javelin is doable.

>>30269476
Nah, javilin mounted system is heavy.

A dismounted jav would be fine.

Most you will see is 240's on pintle mounts. Hell, i think an m2 up top would make it too topheavy.

You can't stick a 30mm bushmaster on a MRZR

>>30269547
>Weight 344 lb (160 kg)
why couldn't you?

>>30269547
I think that's a M230, not a bushmaster
same gun that's on the Apache

>>30269509
is it heavy enough to make the vehicle combat ineffective?

>>30269509
>>30269691
I feel that something along these lines could be done if you threw it in the back.

The PJs at Moody have them, they seem pretty bitchin

>>30269726
That, i believe, is just a dismount fireing it in the truck.

There is no advantage to actually mounting the jav with the dismount CLU.

The only US jav mounting options is with a CROWs system, which actually is better than the dismount CLU for obvious reasons.

>1/4mill price tag

how the fuck is that thing demonstrably superior to a 40k (50k? 100K?!) suv? I feel like fucking ford could do this for half the price.

>>30269823
Upgraded suspension, mounting options, various milspec performance standards, etc.

You don't stick one on a Flyer either with how they are actually used,, that is what a Polaris Dagor is for anyway.

>>30262832
I can't buy one.

I don't see the use of this between king size quads and 4x4 purpose built offroad killers.

Seems like a golf cart that should at best be used for base resupply and transport.

>>30270489
Is that a Merc G-Wagon convertible?

Defenture Vector, cooperation by several Dutch companies for a tender.

It is to replace the G-wagon upgraded editions in Dutch SOF service with more payload, 4ws, range, heavy engine and offroad capability.

Why not something like Jackal or Foxhound? Too large - or just not plain sexy enough for the special forces guys to be caught driving around in?

>>30270926
What's with the large "V" on the side of the jackal? I've seen the same on several different things like Abrams before.

>>30270980
It's there to stop the USAF bombing/strafing them. Doesn't always work.

I want a Daimler or a Greyhound for driving around town.

>>30270980
the orientation of the chevron indicates Alpha,Bravo,etc

>>30266540
That's what I was thinking. I've driven similar ATVs that would be smaller targets, too.

>>30266540
You clearly havent driven a rzr ever, because those things fucking brapp. Rocks, mud, water are no problem. If you'd have fucking driven one you would know.

I feel like an /o/tist, 75k and a welder could make one of these.

>>30262832
We got a few rangers and a few big bosses. They are great in the terrain, but overall the quality is America-level.

We also have a honda quad, which is a lot better than our polaris quad.

>>30262832
These things go like stink, they're decently built for off-road too. Compare the suspension geometry to a newer Subaru Forester. You'll be surprised to see how similar in size the ~500lb thing is to the ~2700lb car.

>>30270926
These small vehicles deploy from Chinooks and Ospreys

>>30271273
Sure, if the welder is working for free.

you also have to keep in mind that these trucks are limited runs.

How much would a surburan cost if the maker new that they would only sell 750 TOTAL.

yes, or the John Deere Gator 6x4. Which we already use a lot of.

Pictured here is from my 2005 Iraq deployment.

>>30262832
Saw Delta dudes tearing around all tacticooled out on them while at SFAS.


If it's good enough for them. Then again, they're expensive as fuck...

>>30270926
That is the cleanest looking tow bar I have ever seen.

>>30265096
That's what the 82nd is using a version for. It's a four seater and pretty cool.

>>30271240
Problem is when the military weighs these things down with gear and shit, they don't adjust the suspension.
I work at a company that does 3rd party tests for vehicles and equipment of all kinds, the test drivers are always complaining how shitty these things handle when weighed down.

The US is buying MRZR's for Infantry BCT's, not special operations.
