The
RG 33 HAGA (Heavily Armored Ground Ambulance) is a variant of our RG33
Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle. In Iraq and Afghanistan,
improvised explosive devices pose a significant threat to the movement
of ground troops, and the US Army urgently required the ambulances to
deliver medical care safely and efficiently. The RG33 HAGA is designed
and manufactured by the International Defense Company BAE Systems.The
primary mission of the HAGA vehicle is medical evacuation. The RG33
HAGA ambulances increased capacity from two to as many as six patients
and the design includes a patented, reconfigurable system that can transport
three casualties on stretchers or be converted to provide seating for
six. It also has a step that transforms into a ramp for easy casualty
loading – in the past it had been cumbersome and dangerous to
load patients over the rear steps of the ambulances. The HAGA is designed
to operate in the various weather and terrain conditions where joint
forces deploy. BAE Systems awarded a contract for an initial 16 ambulances.
BAE Systems was selected to be the sole supplier of MRAP ambulances
for the US Army. Recent Army projections indicate a potential requirement
of 1,742 ambulances, and the HAGA technology could also be transferred
to other military and commercial ambulance systems. |

| Armament |
| The
basic version of the RG33 HAGA is not armed, but the vehicle
can be fitted with a remote controlled weapon station armed
with weapons up to 12.7 mm calibre or a 40 mm calibre automatic
grenade launcher.

| Design
and protection |
| The
RG33 Series 6x6 features a state-of-the art v-shaped hull that
provides superior blast protection against symmetrical, asymmetrical
and unconventional explosive hazards. RG33L features additional
systems to enhance survivability, such as modular add on armor
kit provisions, TRAPP transparent armor that provides excellent
visibility and situational awareness, and run-flat tires. RG33L
is available with base protection against medium machine gun
or small arms fire and mine blast protection at a level equal
to or exceeding any fielded mine protected vehicle - and the
platform is designed with a power train equipped to handle upgrades
and enhancements. |
| Mobility |
The
RG-33 HAGA uses a 6x6 chassis. The RG33L 6x6 is motorised with
a Cummins 400 I6 Diesel engine coupled to an Allison 3200 transmission.

| The
RG33 Ambulance has room for two litter patients, and two ambulatory
patients. The upper litter station lowers and slides out to
the center of the vehicle for easier patient loading. It is
then pushed back, and raised to the transport position. The
lower litter station also slides out for easier patient loading,
and is then pushed back to the transport position. The vehicle
also features a state-of-the-art patient data monitoring system.
The Automated Patient Record Processing System (APRPS) can monitor
multiple patients and interfaces with the Theater Medical Information
Program (TMIP) software suite. It allows care givers to focus
on the casualty while providing a nearly "hands free"
environment for electronically capturing encounter data during
treatment and evacuation. The enhanced Graphic User Interface
and associated automation not only allow for better capture
of patient data from the point of injury, but also allows remote
monitoring of physiological data and automated inventory control. |
