Miscellaneous Info: | The initial vehicle was named
the High Mobility Transport (HMT 4x4) and was developed as a private
venture by Supacat. Even to this day, Supacat refers to the
vehicle as the HMT400. Shortly after the HMT's appearance it was
procured by the British SAS as their new Surveillance and Reconnaissance
Vehicle/Offensive Action Vehicle (SRV/OAV). With the success of the SRV, the British Military procured further vehicles and they were initially called the M-WMIK (Mobility - Weapons Mounted Installation Kit) vehicle and then later named Jackal High Mobility Weapons Platform. Subsequently, the Jackal 2 and Coyote 6x6 TSV went into production at the same time and are based on a similar chassis with a commonality of parts. The Jackals are similar and can be confused for Supacat's HMT Extenda 4x4E. The main differences between the Jackal 1 & Jackal 2/2A vehicles are: the Jackal 2 has a more powerful engine, strengthened chassis and suspension (with corrresponding higher performance capacity and heavier vehicle weight) and a 4th blast protected seat (which wasn't similarily protected on the Jackal 1). Visually, the most prominent differences are the side-mounted spare tire mounts on the Jackal 2 are protected by armor and its weapons ring mount is bit higher than the Jackal 1 (to allow for a 360 degree firing arc), but can be folded down. Finally, the latest vehicle version, the Jackal 2A, went into service in 2010 and is fitted with increased ballistic/mine protection. |
