Introducing the APOLLO variant of the #AJAX vehicle, specifically designed for equipment repair on the battlefield. APOLLO is equipped to provide field maintenance and support, ensuring that other vehicles in the fleet can remain operational during missions. APOLLO has the ability to change its own powerpack during operations by utilising the auxiliary power unit as the primary source of power. Like other AJAX variants, APOLLO is equipped with ISTAR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition, and Reconnaissance) capabilities. Did you know? The AJAX family of vehicles has 85% commonality across the six variants which reduces the logistics footprint, increases operational readiness, and adds flexibility to add additional variants to the family. #LandIndustrialStrategy #Modernisation #ReadyforExport
