PARS IV 8x8 Turkish New Generation Wheeled Armoured Vehicle (NGWAV)

The PARS IV 8x8 Turkish New Generation Wheeled Armoured Vehicle (NGWAV) has been updated to adapt to various combat environments and to incorporate constantly evolving technologies, providing its users with tactical advantages on the battlefield. The vehicle is designed to adapt to today's and future hybrid warfare conditions, which combine symmetric and asymmetric threats. The elements that determine the operational capabilities of the PARS IV 8x8 in the field —protection, firepower, mobility, and electronic infrastructure —were adapted to multiple operational scenarios. Thanks to its modular structure, the PARS IV 8x8 has been designed to be configured in various variants that can serve as an infantry fighting vehicle, reconnaissance vehicle, command and control vehicle, personnel carrier, mortar carrier, combat engineering vehicle, CBRN vehicle, and recovery vehicle. The two-man driver’s front cabin of the PARS IV 8x8 allows for operation day and night in all terrain and weather conditions, and provides more than 180°of visibility and a high level of driving safety under armour. Panoramic periscopes at the front of the vehicle, as well as driving and thermal cameras at the front and rear, provide the driver and commander with high situational awareness. This allows performing all kinds of tasks safely under armour protection, without opening the driver's hatch. The PARS IV 8x8 superior mobility is due to its power unit, the balanced load distribution, and the fully independent, height-adjustable, hydropneumatics suspensions designed to support every mission. Thanks to the all-wheel steering system, the vehicle can turn in a radius as long as its length and can easily manoeuvre in urban areas. The modular armour system and special hull design provide the highest ballistic, mine, and IED protection in its class. The ballistic protection level can also be increased according to users' requirements. The PARS IV 8x8 NG-WAV offers a combination of the highest mobility and protection within the PARS family, along with the ability to engage the evolving threats of the modern battlefield.
