Phoenix International Systems today unveiled an enhanced version of its all terrain vehicle division’s Prowler light tactical all terrain vehicle (LTATV), the only vehicle in the LTATV-class that is purpose built, designed and produced for military applications including ISR, SAR, assault, crew served weapon mobility, perimeter patrol and logistic support.
These enhancements upgrade Prowler’s already established reputation for the highest performance in the field, delivering more power, greater stability and seamless operation in any climate or at any altitude. The new Prowler is 30% more powerful, featuring a digital control fuel-injected 750cc SOHC, four valve V-twin engine, the most powerful in the LTATV class.
“The new Prowler amplifies the advantages – unmatched reliability, stability, speed, endurance, power, all terrain mobility and operator protection – of the current version Prowler. The Prowler is still the only LTATV platform designed specifically for military purposes and applications, rather than simply a modified recreational vehicle,” said Amos Deacon, Phoenix International’s CEO.
“Also, like the current Prowler platform, which has been the preferred choice of military operators in both the US and internationally, the new Prowler continues to be the only LTATV platform specifically designed and dimensioned to be a truly internally transportable vehicle (ITV),” Deacon added.
Prowler, with its proven ability to perform as a stable platform in any terrain or climate, provides unparalleled capabilities based upon its:
- Fully automatic, selectable mode all-wheel drive
- Better than 1:1 load-to-vehicle weight ratio
- Wide range of auxiliary power resources
- Low center of gravity, tight turning radius and high ground clearance
- Front and rear extended range suspension
- Rugged and durable chromalloy steel tubular construction
- “Convertible” roll-over protection system (ROPS)
The new Prowler, which is manufactured at the company’s El Cajon facility in California, is being shipped immediately to all customers and maintains worldwide parts and service availability.
