Roshel announces the launch of its latest product, the Senator MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected) at Canadian Association of Defence and Security Industries (CANSEC) 2023 show in Ottawa. The MRAP has successfully passed STANAG 4569 AEP 55 level 2 and level 2a/2b ballistic and blast tests conducted by the NATO certified US-based independent laboratory. This much-anticipated addition to Roshel’s lineup of tactical vehicles demonstrates the company’s commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for modern defense and security challenges. The Senator MRAP incorporates Roshel’s extensive experience in armored vehicles manufacturing and offers unparalleled levels of protection, mobility and versatility.
The Senator MRAP is designed to withstand calibers up to 7.62×39mm API BZ at 30 meters with 695 m/s as well as 6 kg (explosive mass) blast AT Mine activated under any wheel and under center. With its innovative V-shaped hull, the Senator MRAP maximizes crew survivability by deflecting blasts away from the cabin and dissipating explosive energy. Its robust design offers a high level of protection against explosive devices and ambushes, ensuring the safety of the occupants in hostile environments. The Senator’s high ground clearance, four-wheel drive and 6.7L turbo diesel engine provides efficient off-road capabilities.
The V-shaped body design of mine-protected vehicles is an essential feature that significantly enhances their survivability and protects the occupants during explosive attacks, particularly from landmines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). This unique design incorporates a pronounced V-shape that serves as a deflective armor structure, dispersing the force of an explosion away from the vehicle’s cabin. The V-shaped hull helps to minimize the impact of a blast by redirecting the blast wave and shrapnel to the sides, reducing the chances of severe injury or death to the occupants.
The customizable layout allows for adaptability to different mission requirements, while the advanced engineering ensures optimal performance, mobility, and reliability on the battlefield. The vehicle’s customizable layout and advanced engineering provide an ergonomic and adaptable workspace, ensuring optimal performance and operational efficiency. The MRAP is offered in various configurations including but not limited to counter UAV, medical evacuation, command and control (C2) providing a reliable and adaptable solution tailored to the unique demands of each mission.
