Article Abstract:

Israeli Automotive Industries Ltd. (AIL) is testing the Desert Raider 6x6 reconnaissance, surveillance and fast attack vehicle which the company designed for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and AIL export customers' requirements. Desert Raider's gross weight of 2,600kg, with a disposable payload of 1,200kg, allows it to be transported aboard a CH-53 medium-lift helicopter and carry up to five fully armed troops. The vehicle also features a four-wheel rear suspension unit and uses a pivot axis that permits Desert Raider to run even with just one of its six wheels touching the ground. Desert Raider is powered by a four-cylinder fuel-injected 2.4 liter gasoline engine that produces 150hp at 5,200rpm, resulting to a maximum speed of 110km/h and a maximum range of 600km.
