Phoenix International's ATV - Prowler Light Tactical All Terrain Vehicle (LTATV)

The Prowler LTATV from Phoenix International Systems' all terrain vehicle division is the only light tactical wheeled vehicle of its class that is purpose-built for the military, with its design and manufacture based on actual field recommendations and evaluation input from actual military operations.

Prowlers offer unique advantages that overcome the severe limitations of generic recreational ATVs (including those "modified for military use") in terms of endurance, reliability, operator control and safety. While similar in size and appearance to a typical ATV, the Prowler RTV is completely different in operation, structural design and performance. Prowlers are faster, more rugged, reliable and stable, and can pull or carry greater payloads than any other ATV-type vehicle made or modified.

PROWLER: A PROVEN INTERNALLY TRANSPORTABLE VEHICLE (ITV)

The Prowler is the only LTATV that is a proven Internally Transportable Vehicle (ITV) for the lightest of cargo aircraft. Its weight and dimensional envelope allows it to be easily deployed in aircraft such as the CV-22 and CH-16, CH-47, CH-52 and CH-60 series helicopters.

For deployment in the NH90, with its more restricted cargo or crew access dimension, ATV offers a 'pivot lock' ROPS that eliminates any requirement for disassembly or assembly effort, ensuring immediate deployment of a fully equipped and crewed vehicle upon touchdown.

THIRD SEAT OPTION CONFIGURATION

The Prowler is manufactured with two standard forward seats, with a third rear-facing seat available as an option.

PROWLER LIGHT TACTICAL VEHICLES APPLICATIONS

Prowler light tactical vehicles provide a light tactical mobility platform capability for use in non-traditional combat, reconnaissance and logistic support with an unmatched combination of mission-critical characteristics:

• Rugged and reliable performance in any terrain or climate
• Easily deployed, including as an ITV by aircraft such as the CV-22 and CH-46, CH-47, CH-52 and CH-60 series helicopters
• Multi-mission configurable for assault, ISR, SAR or logistic support
• Unparalleled operator protection

Since its introduction in 1992, the Prowler has been deployed by military forces across a wide range of combat, reconnaissance and SAR missions around the world. Prowler field testing has resulted in enthusiastic After Action Reports (AARs) from the military, emphasizing the vehicle's outstanding performance in terms of safety, endurance, reliability and adaptability.

UNMANNED GROUND VEHICLE (UGV) PLATFORM

In addition to its classic mission, the versatile Prowler platform has been and is being used in a number of autonomous robotic and remotely controlled applications, including IED, mine sweeping EOD and for DARPA Grand Challenge participants.
