The PARS 8x8 is a wheeled armoured combat vehicle developed, designed and manufactured by the Turkish Company FNSS. PARS is designed not only to have a high level of ballistic and mine resistance, but also carry a variety of weapon stations and provide a high internal volume, which allows for a full complement of infantry soldiers with all of their equipment. The PARS 8×8 has a crew of two and can carry eight fully equipped infantrymen at the rear. The PARS uses an open electronics architecture, it is claimed that inserting new technology can be achieved more easily as it becomes available. The PARS 6x6 is air transportable by military transport aircraft C-130, A400M, C-17 or C-5. The PARS forms the basis of the 8x8 AV8 vehicles, which DEFTECH, in cooperation with FNSS, is developing for the Malaysian Armed Forces. FNSS would be responsible for the development of vehicles, shared production of the platforms for vehicles, subsystem integration and system integration and system performance within the framework of the project. The very first prototype, of which the hull production and installation will be accomplished, is aimed to be delivered to Malaysia in 2012. Together with this vehicle the 25 mm Sharpshooter Turret will be sent for qualification procedure. Unless a delay occurs the delivery of the second prototype is expected to take place in the first quarter 2013. The qualification procedure will commence following the delivery of the prototypes. After the qualification is completed, the produced parties will be accomplished by the end of 2013. 257 8x8 AV8 wheeled armored vehicles with 12 different configurations will be built for the Malaysian Armed Forces within the scope of project. |
