Light Assault Vehicles
(Desert Patrol Vehicle)
|
The Desert Patrol Vehicle (DPV) is used by the
Navy SEAL's and the Army for missions such as, combat search and rescue and scouting
behind enemy lines. They usually operate in pairs for mutual support and weaponry
includes the MK-19 .20 mm gatling gun for the passenger side gunner, the .50 caliber belt
fed machine gun, and the M-60 machine gun for the swivel seat gunner. Additionally,
two anti tank weapons (AT-4) can be mounted on the roof for stand off weapons
capability. Special sand tires allow the DPV to transit the deep sand regions of the
desert. The side compartments can carry supplies, gear, as well as wounded or downed
airmen. |

The U.S. Military recently began to field the
up-armored and scout HMMWVs. The Up-Armored (M1109) will be used by Military Police
and Scouts. The vehicle has 7.62 mm armor piercing protection around the perimeter,
155 mm overhead blast protection, and mine protection under the body. The scout
vehicle will be configured with night vision devices, a Global Positioning Device, a MK19
grenade launcher, and SINCGARS radios. The picture shows it with a TOW anti-tank
missile, but a .50 caliber machine gun may take its place. |
