Supacat head Phil Applegarth said: “The new variants demonstrate the flexibility of the HMT platform and the different roles it can perform now and in future programmes where it could be offered.

“For UK MoD programmes where we do not have a direct product to offer we are looking for teaming opportunities with international primes, similar to our partnership with Rheinmetall on its bid for the Challenger 2 Life Extension Programme.”

Supacat is also adding a 4×4 to 6×6 convertible feature to Jackal, besides launching the Logistic Support and Recovery variants.

Using the convertible concept of the HMT Extenda special operations variant, the 4×4 Jackal can be transformed into a 6×6 Coyote, thereby increasing its payload and capacity.

"The new variants demonstrate the flexibility of the HMT platform and the different roles it can perform now and in future programmes where it could be offered."

HMT Extenda can be converted into a 4×4 or 6×6 configuration by inserting or removing a self-contained third axle.

Supacat is showcasing its new LRV400 Mk2 light reconnaissance vehicle at the Defence Vehicle Dynamics (DVD).

The LRV400, with its 4×4 to 6×6 convertible feature, is said to be a high-performance off-road vehicle for rapid intervention operations.

It offers a highly versatile tactical capability for Special Forces and can be transported inside a CH-47 Chinook, Supacat said in a statement.

The company will also present a concept demonstrator 6×6 version of the LRV at DVD.
