The
RHM-5 "Povozka D-1" was unveiled in December 2011 by the Russian
army. The vehicle is designed to be used as NBC reconnaissance armoured
vehicle for the airborne troops. In January 2012, the first vehicles
were delivered to Russian airborne troops, 106th Airborne Division.
It was reported that the production of the RHM-5 began in 2009 by he
Russian Company OAO "Zavod Tula". The RHM-5 is a sophisticated
instrument complex, mounted on the chassis of the Russian airborne armoured
fighting vehicle BMD-3. The use of the BMD-3 chassis is a logical choice
to standardize maintenance and crew training, in fact, the BMD-3 is
widely used in the Russian airborne troops. The vehicle has the ability
to provide radiation, chemical and biological intelligence in complex
topography, in all weather and night conditions. He is is equipped with
latest technology of NBC-Intelligence systems as different type of nuclear,
bacteriologic and chemical device detectors, as well as navigation systems
for collecting, processing and transmission by radio or in a global
military network. The crew can send information in safety condition
against the effects of weapons of mass destruction on the battle field.

| Design
and protection |
| The
RHM-5 "Povozka D-1" is based on the hull of the Russian
made airborne infantry fighting vehicle. The driver is seated
at the front of the vehicle, and has a single-piece hatch cover
and three day periscopes for forward observation, the centre
one of which can be replaced by a night vision periscope. There
is a man seated either side of the driver and each has a single-piece
hatch cover and at least one day periscope. As the BMD-3, the
hull of the RHM-5 is made in all-welded aluminium wich provide
a protection for the crew against small arms fire and shell
splinters. |
| Propulsion |
The
RHM-5 uses the same chassis and powerpack as the BMD-3. The
power pack is at the rear of the hull and consists of a 2V-06-02
water-cooled diesel developing 450 hp, which gives a very high
power-to-weight ratio of 34 bhp/t. The engine is coupled to
a hydromechanical transmission with five forward and five reverse
gears and a hydraulic steering unit. As the all family of BMD-3
vehicle, the RHM-5 is fitted with an hydropneumatic suspension
which give the possibility to adjust ground clearance between
130 and 530 mm, although for normal road travel it is 450 mm.
The suspension either side consists of five rubber-tyred roadwheels,
four track-return rollers, drive sprocket at the rear, and idler
at the front. The RHM-5 can run at a maximum road speed of 70
km.

The RHM-5 is equipped with Glonass satellite position system
and sophisticated computer technology. The GLONASS is a Global
Navigation Satellite System, radio-based satellite navigation
system operated for the Russian government by the Russian Aerospace
Defence Forces. The RHM-5 is fully amphibious being propelled
in the water at the maximum speed of 10km/h by two water-jets
mounted either side at the rear of the vehicle.
