New HUMVEE Saber 4x4 Tactical Vehicle, How Powerful is it?

The HUMVEE Saber is based on AM General 13-Series HMMWV 4x4 chassis. The general layout of the vehicle is standard for a light tactical armored vehicle with a powerpack at the front, crew and troops compartment in the middle and a cargo area at the rear. The vehicle is powered by a 6.5L V8 turbocharged diesel engine developing 205 hp coupled to a 4-speed electronically controlled transmission. The vehicle can reach a road speed of up to 90 km/h with a maximum cruising range of 402 km. Based on the proven and battle-tested HUMVEE vehicle platform, the HUMVEE Saber is redefining survivability with 360 degree kinetic and blast protection in a truly light tactical vehicle. For Eurosatory, AM General partnered with Elta North America, to upfit the vehicle with a mobile Counter Unmanned Aircraft System (C-UAS) that is designed to track, identify, and deter/defeat various UAS while the vehicle is in motion. Additionally, the vehicle features MBrace®, an advanced occupant protection system by IMMI, to add head and neck protection during adverse events. Finally, the vehicle also features innovative electronics from ArmorWorks that allows for enhanced situational awareness with multiple field view options with thermal and infrared camera operation. The technology insertions by leading industry partners add higher levels of security and survivability to an already rugged, mobile, and highly protected light tactical vehicle.
