According to tender documents from the Department of Defence, the surveillance equipment will provide more accuracy for directing artillery fire.
The RG32M is a 4×4 light armoured vehicle weighing about 7,300kg, with a crew of between five and seven.
The vehicle’s all-steel welded armour, monocoque hull protects the crew against small arms fire, grenades, anti-personnel mines and land mine detonations.
