ATMP ATV mobile platform

Supacat's ATMP (All-Terrain Mobility Platform) ATV mobile platform is a versatile light vehicle used by airborne and airmobile battalions. Developed in 80-ies, ATMP 6x6 was the first Supacat product.

The ATMP six-wheeled all-terrain vehicle, due to its very low ground pressure and amphibious capabilities, has a unique maneuverability, in particular, it is capable of overcoming rugged sandy terrain and water barriers. ATMP is capable of carrying one standard NATO pallet, ammunition, anti-tank mines and other bulky or heavy loads.

The 6X6 Supacat ATMPC is in the service of the British armed forces since the middle of 80-s, and the 1800 is a kilogram version of ATMP, driven by the VW-Audi engine, can now be found not only in the airborne forces, but also in the Royal Artillery and the Royal Marines. .

ATMP is capable of carrying a substantial payload for a car of this size that, combined with its cross-country ability, has provided the car with good demand for many years. Excellently proven in various military operations and military conflicts, ATMP can be transported both on the external sling and inside various airborne platforms, which ensures its operational accessibility to airborne and rapid reaction forces. The press reported that the special services of Great Britain used ATMP 6х6 all-terrain vehicles in the intelligence phase of the operation against one of the prominent Taliban leaders in Afghanistan.

ATMP has a permanent 6-wheel drive, it is capable of carrying 2-x crew members and up to 8 landing troops.

ATMP can be configured to perform various tasks:

• troop transportation
  
• supply security
  
• mobile fire support base
  
• forklift pallet truck and trailer
  
• aviation fuel carrier
  
• evacuation of the wounded
  
• repair and recovery vehicle
  
• preparation of landing pads radio relay
  

History The creation of ATMP, adopted in 1988, is as complex as the history of all that Supacat has created.

Supacat, which developed ATMP, was unable to produce them in sufficient quantities. In this regard, the company had to share the contract with other manufacturers (the same situation exists with the Jackal all-terrain vehicle). Thus, it turned out that in the early eighties, the ATMP was manufactured by the all-terrain vehicle ATMP manufactured by Fairey Engineering.

In 1995, an agreement was reached between Alvis (now BAE) and Supacat, according to which Supacat retained the rights to design and production of civilian versions of the all-terrain vehicle, and Alvis was responsible for military markets. In 2005, Supacat regained exclusive marketing rights.

In 1996, the UK Department of Defense acquired another 86 ATMP and 84 trailers for them for a total of approximately 4 million pounds.

The ATMP Mark 3 is capable of carrying a payload of 1000 kg (it can be increased to 1600 kg by reducing the permeability), weighs from 1.6 to 1.8 tons, has limited amphibious capabilities, develops a maximum speed of 65 km / h and has permanent all-wheel drive. Despite the open design, the all-terrain vehicle can be equipped with a number of hard or soft cabs, a winch and even a tracked kit to further improve the terrain.

To ensure self-loading and unloading of pallets and cargo, besides the existing winch, a number of special trailers FLPT (Fork Lift Pallet Trailer, fork lift pallets) and SLLPT (Self Loading Lightweight Pallet Trailer, light pallet lift) were developed.

There are several options, but the main trailer is equipped with an electro-hydraulic tilting mechanism and fork. The driver simply tilts the trailer to the lower position, turns to the pallet, tilts the trailer back and drives off. The whole process is very fast, simple and can be carried out without leaving the rover. The maximum payload for FLPT trailers is 1400 kg and they can be converted to carry three stretchers. The trailer is equipped with removable corner racks with fastening straps. These devices are also used to transport bulk cargoes, such as boxes or parts of used pallets. Deploying the kit takes only a few minutes.

An airmobile crane was also developed allowing ATMP to independently load up to 1 t from two meter distance. Thanks to its high ATMP, it is also designed for towing 105-mm guns and trailers with ammunition. Thus, the total transported and trailed payload exceeds 3500 kg. There are also airborne portable fuel containers.

One of the key requirements of ATMP was aviatranenostarnost, so the all-terrain vehicle can be dropped by parachute, transported on the external suspension of the helicopter on the lines or in the grid or in the internal compartment of Chinook. During its long service life, ATMP passed all the necessary qualifications, including various combinations of slinging and airborne landing from various aircraft. A Chinook helicopter is allowed to simultaneously transport the 2 ATMP in the internal compartment or the 4 on the external sling. There are several options for laying ATMP for the transport of large aircraft.

To provide mobile fire support, ATMP is equipped with a large-caliber machine gun or a set of Milan anti-tank guided missiles.

The estimated cost of the basic ATMP model is 8.5-9.5 thousand pounds.

Rover Configuration
The ATMP has a permanent drive (6x6) with four front swivel wheels (two axles) controlled by a motorcycle-type rotary wheel. Steering disc brakes are also controlled from the steering wheel, which act independently of each other on both sides of the all-terrain vehicle and ensure the rotation of the all-terrain vehicle by skidding. The ATMP is driven by a diesel engine and is controlled via a torque converter. ATMP is equipped with an automatic transmission with three forward and one back speeds, and also one differential. The dual output shaft transmits torque to two transfer cases with integrated internal disc brakes. The central shaft is driven directly from the transfer case. The disk brake pedal acts immediately on all wheels. Torque to the front and rear wheels is transmitted through a heavy double chain in increments of one inch. The ATMP is built around a steel frame of rectangular sections that forms the entire shape of the all-terrain vehicle and on which all components and applications are installed. The ATMP body is made of aluminum, which allows the ATV to float and protects most mechanical components. The bottom is covered with an 5 mm aluminum plate.

Very interesting machine. I want such an all-terrain vehicle

[755962]

This is not just an interesting car, this is a unique one on wheels! I thank the professor for the excellent and detailed material! I am amazed at his versatile abilities, ranging from carrying capacity to cross-country ability! You can have a photo of armed versions of the "kid" and covered ones. HACHU SUCH !!!!!!! Dear professor, where can I order it? (I'm seriously!)

[Professor]

I wrote an article at your request. Always happy to help true lovers of military equipment.
You can buy this papelats here Alvis Supacat 6x6 1600 MK II (shipping within 30 days !!!), although it is not entirely new, it is in excellent technical condition, low mileage, and what can happen to the Volkswagen diesel?
Here's another: Supacat: MK3
Supacat 6x6: All Terrain Mobile Platform. (ATMP)
Only 500 hours of engine operation !!!

An entertaining machine in general. At the beginning of the 90s we went hunting on such a pepelats, in some way an analogue to the machine above:

while I was searching, I found this photo, this is how I understand the Ukrainian answer to the typewriter in the article:

there are a lot of cars with increased cross-country ability (the nurse is at the ball), the thing is different, it’s basically a good little helper (to bring in, take anything you like considering his line of accessories and additional equipment)

[vylvyn]

It seems that the new developed Americans technology is our well-forgotten designs of 50 years ago. Moreover, although ours look outwardly rustic and clumsy, but in terms of functionality and running capabilities they still surpass Western models.

[bob]

good car but for our conditions the clearance is small

[oiuy]

It's just that in the armies of civilized countries everything is done to make life easier for a soldier on the battlefield, but in all other countries, a soldier can handle it with his own hands. ("to fight hard and bravely against hardships and hardships" ...) There is no time for NATO professionals to march a little to blue and engage in a sea of ​​economic problems, they need to learn how to fight, because the taxpayer pays his money for their work! But where the call, with the exception of Israel, is not a sin to work there - cheap labor is always available .. jack of all trades

[ICT]

it has six wide wheels and a trough body, that is, no dirt, sand and slurry are not terrible, it just won’t get stuck (there the fire forest extinguishes much better, as for me it’s better not to be with the cabin closed)

[Fidain]

Da klasssnaya mashinka, mabilnost, proxodimost i soldati vsyo na sebe ne budut taskat.Odno delo BMP i BTR a tut i salari ne mnogo zhryot i boicam legche peredvigaca

fishing - it’s the most .. =) .. in general it’s strange that such a good thing is still not produced at some kind of joint venture in Russia ...

[Odinplys]

Krilion,
Produced ...
They run around the Belarusian fields ... like ... especially for marshy places ... I think they will not give in to this ... but outwardly they will give a head start ...
And the expedition along the coast of the north ... took place ... the worse ...

[Svistoplyaskov]

To hunt in the taiga and the swamp just right. Although it probably stands like a small plane!

is 8.5- 9.5 thousand pounds.

Half a lemon of our rubles! Although if fully equipped - with all the gadgets - so the thing is still that! I wouldn’t refuse such a thing either! Especially if I hadn’t lived in a city!

Half a lemon of our rubles!

At today's exchange rate, 403155-450585 rubles.

[ICT]

no money do it yourself, you will have to improve with the transmission, but essentially nothing complicated

[AK-74-1]

The machine is interesting. For the article to the Professor a big "+".
Moreover, in combat conditions, you need something either more protected or less expensive. A saboteur or a scout as such as a regular vehicle is not needed. The rear units probably too. But the Ministry of Emergency Situations is nothing to itself. Yes, and go hunting too.

[Professor]

I recommend as an alternative.

[Civil]

I take if Degtyar included)))

[Odinplys]

With additional ammunition ... can be purchased ...)))
What speed ... and accuracy ...)))

[Horde]

nonsense, a small machine for small armies will gobble up fuel for a ruble; transport goods for a penny; 8 infantrymen will be tortured to fit in there unless it was especially amusing standing how this thing lives in the form of an amphibian and you need an outboard motor, and you can immerse it in water that would not go to the bottom? , minuscule thought. Kills one bullet 8-9 thousand pounds. in general, not even for the army, but for fishing, and even then not for Russia, suddenly it will rain.

[Professor]

a small machine for small armies will gobble up fuel for a ruble; transport cargo for a penny

Quite the opposite. The SA sent KRAZ for a matchbox-sized piece. On trucks, supplies were provided even where a motorcycle could be dispensed with. When the commander was in a good mood, he allowed to take his UAZ.
Although there were small vehicles, but firstly few, and secondly they were waiting for a war in warehouses.
LuAZ 967 (TPK)

At first glance, there is nothing military about it except a protective coloration. But this is not so. LuAZ 967 has a high cross-country ability, which in combination with amphibious qualities plays an important role in army conditions.

TPK is designed for operations in battle formations of units that are in close contact with the enemy. This is predetermined by its small size. For example, the height with the windshield lowered barely exceeds one meter. Its curb weight and full weight (950 and 1350 kg, respectively) are small, but at the same time the ground clearance reaches 285 mm, which, in particular, explains the high passability of the car. The chassis of the car is with independent suspension and differential lock of the rear axle wheels. The power plant is a MeMZ-967A engine with an output of 37 l. with. All this allows you to use LuAZ 967 at the front line of defense, to follow the advancing units, using the terrain and shrubs, on roads and off roads.

When driving on roads at speeds up to 75 km / h, the front wheels are leading. Rear-wheel drive is included to overcome difficult terrain.

Now about the purely military qualities of the LuAZ 967M. The machine is equipped with a small winch, which develops the force 150 ... 200 kgf. With its help, it is possible to pull loads and wounded on a drag to the car, if enemy fire does not allow them to approach. Winch cable 100 m.

Another feature that has already been mentioned is the ability to move through water. Afloat LuAZ 967M can overcome river and lake obstacles at a speed of 3 ... 4 km / h. Rowing effect is created by wheels rotating in water. The driver's seat is in the middle. On the right and left, with some displacement back, there are two more seats. When folded, their backs form a single plane with the cargo platform and do not interfere with the laying of goods or a stretcher with the wounded.

For secrecy of movement over short distances, the driver can control the machine while lying down. The steering column then lowers, and the seatback leans back. The instrument panel mounted on the extensions of the steering column, while remaining in the field of view of the driver. However, all this does not give reason to consider this machine universal, designed for a variety of purposes, for example, for reconnaissance.

[Horde]

The SA sent KRAZ for a matchbox-sized piece.

Well, firstly, there were no such goods in the SA the size of a matchbox, and secondly, there was an excellent GAZ-66 shishiga machine, a small all-terrain truck, quite roomy 2t. with a fuel consumption of 20l / 100km, it is much more practical than an English trough on six wheels, in the third now the GAZ-66 has been replaced with a new light army all-terrain vehicle called the truth foolishly "Sadko"

,

[ICT]

Quote: Horde

secondly was a beautiful machine GAZ-66 shishiga

Well, I compared the earth , pug and elephant

[Professor]

Well, firstly, there weren’t such matchbox-sized loads in the CA

Yeah, they sent KRAZ for the slider, and the flow rate he had was a letter per kilometer and not solariums.

and much more practical than the six-wheeled English trough

This "trough", unlike the Gaz-66, easily fits into a helicopter and eats solariums, too, not like the 66th.

, in the third, now GAZ-66 has been replaced with a new light army all-terrain vehicle called the truth foolishly "Sadko"

Trucks of all stripes are also available from the bourgeoisie, but as you can see from the photo to the article even motorcycles are used.

[Horde]

KRAZ was sent for the slider

you will not be so kind to explain what the "slider" was for which KRAZ was sent
by the way, consumption at KRAZ- Control fuel consumption of a car, l / 100 km, at a speed of 60 km / h 35,3 l.

his consumption was a letter per kilometer and not solariums.

??? engines at KRAZ have always been and are YaMZ i.e. -Diesel consume exactly solarium.

[Professor]

Transistor ignition system (Slider -23)

A slider is a device that is part of a distributor (distributor). The slider is a part made of a dielectric attached to the rotating central part of the distributor. Thus, the slider rotates in a circle on the central shaft. The ignition coil outputs a high-voltage discharge to the runner, which, passing through a special channel in the runner, is transmitted to the distributor cover, in the contact area leading to the high-voltage wire.

And the engines at KRAZ to the diesel engines were gasoline.

[Horde]

funny, but have you always sent the largest machine for the smallest detail?
Although, however, what was not only in the army, then it is the army. It is good, of course, when you can choose an adequate method of execution for each army need, but this will never happen, there will not be a special machine for the runners in the army, so if the unit commander has a choice to send a tank for the runner, the armored personnel carrier or KRAZ will probably choose the KRAZ in in this case, he will be right.

[Professor]

What was then sent.
Bugs are certainly exotic, but motorcycles would definitely not hurt.

[philosopher]

I apologize for interfering, but remembering the "young years" (which only in the army was not), I also remembered the saying: "who served in the army, he does not laugh in the circus." There is still some truth ...

[Horde]

And the engines at KRAZ to the diesel engines were gasoline.

there were not always Yaroslavl diesel engines. first, the US two-stroke engines "GMs" with a capacity of 110 hp, the same ones that formed the basis for the future engine YAZ-204, then our developments.

[Professor]

Yes, you’re right, I confused gasoline with the Urals-375 from which everyone who could carry gasoline was confused with gasoline.

[Chicot 1]

And what! Very cute shmakozober !!! I don’t know how anyone, but personally I really liked ... Visually reminded me of the FV-622 "Stalwart" (the brainchild of the British company "Alvis" from 1959), but in a reduced form ...
I think that a new transporter would not interfere with our army. And not only the army ...

As for the material itself, it is definitely "+". Great respect to the author. Keep it up!!!
