The Spanish Army operating in Afghanistan has received the last of 63 RG-31 vehicles, which have begun to replace the BMR armoured personnel carriers.
The new fleet of vehicles carries out missions in the region alongside 93 Lynx armoured vehicles.
The BAE Systems-manufactured RG-31 Nyala is a 4×4 mine-protected, all-terrain armoured personnel carrier capable of carrying nine crew excluding the driver.
The vehicle has been specifically designed to resist ballistic impacts from small arms fire and anti-tank mine detonations.
RG-31 can assume a wide spectrum of roles including armoured ambulance, communications vehicle and air traffic control vehicle.
The vehicle will soon also incorporate a new application for real time transmission of patients’ biomedical indicators, through a device being developed by Corporacio Sanitaria Parc Tauli.
