As part of ongoing modernisation efforts centred on automation and mobility enhancements, the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) on 8 July commissioned a new 6x6 protected mobility vehicle that is designed for island-defence operations.
The Peacekeeper Protected Response Vehicle (PRV), which is based on Renault Trucks Defense's Higuard mine resistant ambush protected (MRAP) platform, was commissioned by Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen at a 50th anniversary parade organised by the 2nd People's Defence Force (2PDF) Command at the western Clementi Camp.
Ng noted in his address that the induction of the Peacekeeper was a significant capability enhancement for 2PDF - also known as the Island Defence Task Force - which is operating an ageing fleet of 4x4 Commando V200 armoured personnel carriers (APCs). The V200 platforms have been in service with the Singapore Army since 1970 and are planned to be phased out in 2016.
IHS Jane's understands that 40 Peacekeeper PRVs have been acquired for the SAF, although details of the delivery schedule were not disclosed. At least seven vehicles were showcased in dynamic and static displays at Clementi Camp during the parade.
"We mark another milestone in growing new capabilities for 2PDF Command by commissioning the PRVs, named the Peacekeeper, which will provide better means for 2PDF Command to keep Singapore's key installations and facilities safe," said Ng. "The current threats from extremist groups like the [Islamic State] and [Islamic State]-inspired lone-wolf attacks are clear and present, and [have] affected all countries globally…2PDF Command must therefore continue to update its doctrine, tactics, and equipment to meet these new challenges."
The Peacekeeper PRV has been customised by the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) to meet the SAF's requirements. The vehicle - which accommodates 12 personnel including a driver, vehicle commander, and 10 dismounts - measures 7.28 m long, 2.65 m wide, and 3.53 m tall (with roof weapon installed). Weighing 21.5 tonnes at full load, it is capable of achieving a maximum road speed of 90 km/h.
In terms of armaments, the Peacekeeper PRV is equipped with a roof-mounted RCWS that is compatible with one of the three weapons depending on mission requirements: a 7.62 mm machine gun, a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun, or a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher. The RCWS, which is operated by the vehicle commander, also features a daylight TV camera and infrared (IR) imager as well as a laser-rangefinder that enables the vehicle to engage targets up to a maximum range of 600 m.
Besides enhanced ballistic protection for troops, the new vehicles also incorporate a host of safety features, including a rear-mounted video camera that offers the driver increased situational awareness, as well as a vehicle fire suppression system in the engine and passenger compartments.
....
The new PRV allows soldiers to be better protected and because of its enhanced mobility, is able to bring the soldiers to the objective faster. With the weapons system on board, which is remote-controlled, it allows our soldiers to be able to deal with threats that come their way much better than the V200", a Singapore Army brigadier-general said.
The Peacekeeper, which was jointly developed by the Army and the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA), is designed to support servicemen carrying out island defence operations. It is equipped with a Remote Control Weapon System, allowing the Peacekeeper's crew to operate the weapons systems mounted on it from within the vehicle, and thermal imaging to support ground forces with direct and precise firepower. It features five types of differential locking systems for better traction, and a Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS) to protect the vehicle against pressure leaks or punctures. The system also reduces vibration and shocks as the vehicle moves.
The Peacekeeper can carry up to 12 crew members, comprising one operator, one vehicle commander and 10 troopers. The steel outer body of the Peacekeeper is built to withstand small-arm fire and fragmentation. Bulletproof windows and an onboard compression system further help to keep troops safe.
A key feature of the Peacekeeper is the Remote Control Weapon System (RCWS). This weapon system, mounted on the Peacekeeper, can be configured for one of three different weapons: the 40mm Automatic Grenade Launcher, the 12.7mm Heavy Machine Gun, or the 7.62mm Coaxial Machine Gun. The weapons can also be operated from within the vehicle, thereby enabling the crew to support ground forces with heavy and accurate fire, from the safety of the vehicle.
This is unlike the V200, which can only be mounted with a 20mm Automatic Grenade Launcher or 7.62mm Coaxial Machine Gun, and cannot be fired from within the vehicle. As the soldiers will not be exposed to incoming fire while they are firing the weapon system, "this provides much better protection to our soldiers in the missions they have to undertake in homeland security."

Singapore membeli 42 higuard mrap renault n mengembangkan sendiri mjd PCPRV untuk mengganti V200.... Mungkinkah Singapore jg melisensi?

Apakah Indonesia jg berminat lisensi truknya Renault yg 6x6 yg jg jd basis nya higuard n pcprv ini?
Harga standar, produk sesama manusia, mungkin sulit diembargo, sdh banyak pake ploduk sejenis, commonality, pengalaman 'lisensi' 4x4, bisa dipake di cesar selanjutnya, bisa buat ganti truk offroad yg sdh tua, bisa untuk sasis dlm membuat PT. PINDAD KURA2 6x6 MRAP, dll....
