![]() Other variants of the vehicle will be applied in the Specialised Operations environments due to the platform design, flexibility and easy maintenance in theatre. “Target markets for the vehicle and system are Armed Forces and Security Forces and services around the world. ![]() The partnership and system integration puts the capability in the forefront of responses to military requirements and addressing threats in modern theatres. As presented at the MSPO 2021, the vehicle has integrated a Remote Controlled Weapon Station, Communications system and WARMATE loitering weapon system from the WB Group in Poland. The vehicle is designed to accommodate and integrate various solutions and weapons in line with military and security forces requirements. “The Bruiser 212 comes in a number of variants to can meet today’s and future operational requirements of Armed Forces around the world. Due to the reserve capacity within the design built in initially any increase in weight of additional levels of protection can be accommodated with minimal influence. The protection envelope provided for is in balance of current asymmetrical warfare threats. “The vehicle specification and all the various interwoven design aspects makes this vehicle an absolute excellent usage platform. ![]() “The main innovation applied by the Bruisertech Team was in the design of the Bruiser 212 vehicle which today brings forward a very well-balanced vehicle with high protection levels, compactness with sufficient user comfort to the occupants, reliability and a cost-effective vehicle system with very little complicated maintenance and service repairs procedures.” With the deployment of these types of vehicles in today’s asymmetrical war theatres all over the world, the war environment requires that these vehicles now have a side blast resistant protection component which defines this vehicle as an MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle type. The South African and Polish COMBATMATE MRAP has a combat weight of 13 tonnes and can transport up to 10+2 troops Ĭompany representative Johnny Chabalala told us: “The Bruiser 212 vehicle is the latest culmination for a new unique design, which has a historical background that has risen from the past 55-year lifeline history of MPV (Mine Protected Vehicles) design and development in Africa. Armour protection level is not publicly specified, but the configuration seen here can be upgraded. Ground clearance under the differential is 420 mm, unprepared fording depth is 1100mm, a 500mm step can be climbed, a 70% gradient can be tackled, side slope capability is 40% and approach and departure angles are around 37˚. For the technically minded, standard wheelbase is 3500mm, length is 5939m, width is 2488mm, and height is 2658mm to top of hull. Powered by a six-cylinder 268kW turbo-diesel engine, through a two-speed automatic gearbox, the vehicle is claimed to have a governed top speed of 140 kph or 87.5 mph. #BATTLE GROUP HELOS PLUS#With a kerb weight of 10 tonnes and an additional 3,000kg payload capacity the COMBATMATE 4×4 MRAP, based on the Bruiser 212, has the potential to carry up to ten troops plus a crew of two in the infantry configuration. South Africa’s Bruisertech, headquartered near Pretoria, has teamed up with Poland’s WB Group, headquartered near Warsaw, to meet the potential requirements of several European countries for a 4×4 MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle. South Africa’s Bruisertech in partnership with Poland’s WB Group presented the COMBATMATE MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) vehicle at MSPO 2021, reports Bob Morrison. ![]()
