This Page: Standard Jeep   Armoured Jeep   Anti-Armour Jeep

The standard utility jeep is the workhorse of much of the New Anglian military, including the Army, Marines, Navy and Aerospace Force. The original design has proven so successful, it has been adopted by the New Swabian League military forces and by military forces of a number of smaller powers such as the New Israel, the Dutch Kingdom, Sweden, Free Cal-Tex, and the Independent Antarctic States.

The design specifications called for a light-weight, highly mobile general purpose utility vehicle with the ability to keep up with rapid-deployment forces, to carry a small but significant payload of men or material, and to be adaptable to a number of roles on the same basic chassis (AT, AA, Comms/EW, medical, NBC decontam, and other variants).

Another key criteria for the basic jeep design was that the vehicle would be manufacturable on larger colony worlds with intermediate manufacturing capabilities. The jeep had to be maintainable by colonial machine shops and repairable by outpost mechanics. The parts used in the design were required to be robust, simple, and inexpensive.

The winning design satisifed all of those criteria and has been manufactured on at least six worlds. At last count, jeeps of this basic design were in use on over 40 human inhabited places. Estimated combined production numbers exceed 1,000,000 units. The average service life of one of these has tended to be 10 years, with many of them lasting a further few decades in civilian hands.

General Purpose ("Jeep") Vehicle: Unarmed Soft-Skinned Utility
		The variant depicted to the left is a fine example of the standard soft-skinned utility jeep without armament. The paint scheme is an NSL ambush scheme.
		Mobility Class	Air Cushion (Fast GEV)
		Crew	1: Driver
		Passengers/Cargo	4 troops in full fighting order or 1000 kg of cargo
Comms & Sensors	Basic (both)	EW & ECM	Basic ECM
Fire Control/Guidance	Basic (D6)	Stealth	None
Powerplant	HMT	DS2 Points	10
Armour	0 on all sides (soft-skinned, D6)
Armaments	NHR mount for HMG, AGL, or Gatling MG (no weapon mounted)
Other Equipment	Often equiped with portable fire extinguisher, portable vehicle toolkit, and vehicular smoke dischargers.

The Armoured Utility Jeep takes the basic utility jeep and adds a basic armaments package and a NAC-standard sensor suite and some internal armour panels to provide protection against small arms

General Purpose ("Jeep") Vehicle: Armoured and Armed Utility

		Crew	1: Driver
		Passengers/Cargo	4 troops in full fighting order or 1000 kg of cargo
Comms & Sensors	Enhanced (both)	EW & ECM	Basic ECM
Fire Control/Guidance	Basic (D6)	Stealth	None

Armour	1 on all sides
Armaments	NHR mount for HMG, AGL, or Gatling MG.
Other Equipment	Often equiped with portable fire extinguisher, portable vehicle toolkit, and vehicular smoke dischargers.

The Light Anti-Armour Jeep takes the basic utility jeep and replaces it's infantry or cargo carrying capacity with a turret mounted GMS/H launcher complete with an enhanced sensor suite and enhanced guidance package for the GMS system. It also provides internal armour panels to offer protection against small arms fire. Enhanced ECM buys it more battlefield survivability.

This vehicle is intended to offer security forces and rapid-deployment forces a lightweight and cheap vehicle which can take out heavier armour. It has minimal survivability if it comes to a standing slugfest with more heavily armoured vehicles and it has significantly reduced lethality against enemy units with advanced ECM capabilities. A shoot-n-scoot philosophy is the standard modus operandi for this type of vehicle.

		The variant depicted to the left is a fine example of the standard of the GMS armed anti-armour version. The paint scheme is an NSL ambush scheme.
		Mobility Class	Air Cushion (Fast GEV)
		Crew	2: Driver, Gunner
		Passengers/Cargo	50 kg (enough for tools and personal gear for crew)
Comms & Sensors	Basic Comms, Enhanced Sensors	EW & ECM	Enhanced ECM
Fire Control/Guidance	Enhanced (D8) GMS/H	Stealth	None
Powerplant	HMT	DS2 Points	40
Armour	1 on all sides
Armaments	NHR mount for HMG, AGL, or Gatling MG and turreted GMS/H (Enh) launch system.
Other Equipment	Often equiped with portable fire extinguisher, portable vehicle toolkit, and vehicular smoke dischargers. Usually carries one full set of loads for the GMS launcher.
