Held on Salisbury Plain, 3rd Division demonstrated how a combined group of UGVs, UAVs, Armoured vehicles and soldiers worked together as part a breaching exercise.
The Iveco Defence Vehicles VIKING UGVs performed a number of roles highlighting the superior capability of the platform and the modular interoperability of our approach. Performing in a range or roles including logistics re-supply, CASEVAC and as an ISTAR platform, the VIKING demonstrated its versatility by keeping pace with the Armoured fleet and following them into the breach.
Viking is a versatile multirole platform capable of navigating and executing missions with a wide range of payloads. With its hybrid powertrain and independent suspension designed by our automotive engineering specialists, Viking boasts a class-leading power-to-weight ratio and chassis design enabling it to carry heavier payloads at greater speeds over complex terrain.
Its spacious, easy access and highly configurable payload area means Viking can be repurposed rapidly. Roles include last-mile resupply, casualty evacuation, surveillance, CBRN detection, and fire support.
Viking’s hybrid powertrain combines a diesel engine with a high-voltage electric motor and battery pack, offering a high power-to-weight ratio for transporting heavy loads across challenging terrain.
It runs up to 20 km on electric power alone, or over 24 hours in silent watch mode. Twined with the diesel engine, the platform has a total range of over 200 km.
With its 6×6 all-wheel drive, differential locks, independent suspension, and high ground clearance, Viking provides excellent off-road performance and stability.
