The Next Generation of the
High Technology; Low Complexity
The Mamba™ Mk7 was born from the iconic South African Mamba which is largely credited as being the father of the modern APC/MRAP, the Mamba has risen to new levels of capability and performance, with enhanced protection and substantial powertrain improvements over its three generations: Mk5 Magirus, Mk5 Iveco, and the Mk7. Hundreds have been fielded across the most austere Peacekeeping Operation (PKO) and kinetic Counter Terrorist (CT) environments, surviving multiple IED strikes of 50 and 80 kg. It has fast become the PKO, CT and Counter Insurgency (COIN) operation vehicle of choice for the US Government and other organisations and governments because of its simplicity, functionality and price point. A NATO level APC at a fraction of the price.
Armament
The Mamba™ Mk7 is not just a protective troop transporter, but a troop-carrying fighting vehicle The Mamba is a multi-purpose mine-protected vehicle. In its core role as a fighting platform, it is customisable to client mission requirements. The vehicle can be equipped with a primary weapon system protected by a STANAG ballistic turret, manual or electrically driven, supporting a weapon of up to 12.7 mm or 0.50 Cal., with retractable gunner’s stand. Additional swing arm mounts with shields can be f itted to firing points on the vehicle. The secondary systems can support weapons of up to 7.62 Calibre. The Mamba is designed to allow troops to engage from inside the armoured capsule. Any of the windows can be fitted with gun ports. Additional systems can be added at client request: Smoke grenade launchers 40 mm AGL Automated weapon station with remote firing Shooter location systems Passive RPG protection nettin
Powertrain
Powertrain Simplicity, functionality, robustness and ease of maintenance are at the heart of Osprea’s design of the Mamba™
The Mamba™ Mk7’s powertrain is based on an air-cooled, mechanically injected 6-cylinder inline, turbocharged engine. Without an electronic management system, this base engine is one of the most robust and reliable power-plants available and is easily serviceable with simple tools, with no requirement for computer diagnostic support. This is coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission driving through a selectable two-speed transfer case with locking differentials. High power-to-weight ratios for reliable operation in extreme environments. Options: Independent suspension system Half:Half. Independent front supension, rigid rear Mechanical Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) is available as an option for added simplicity and ease of operation in high pressure and combat situations Mechanically injected water-cooled V6 turbo charged engine for substantially increased
