| The SCOUT SV is a program for the British Army to provide a new generation of light tracked armoured vehicle. The Scout SV program is lead by the Company General Dynamics UK with the goal to replace the CVRT (light armoured vehicle) fleet of the British Army. The PMRS (Protected Mobility Reconnaissance Support) is the reconnaissance variant of the Scout SV family now called AJAX family. In June 2014, at DVD (Defence Vehicle Dynamics), General Dynamics UK has unveiled the first pre-production prototype of ARES AJAX PMRS (Protected Mobility Recce Support). The ARES AJAX PMRS will provide safe transportation of fully-equipped soldiers in a well-protected environment. On dismount, troops will be able to more effectively conduct a variety of tasks, such as dismounted surveillance (including patrols), observation posts and close target reconnaissance. Its extensive capabilities include acoustic detectors, a laser warning system, a local situational awareness system, an electronic countermeasure system, a route marking system, an advanced electronic architecture and a high performance power pack. Protected Mobility Recce Support (PMRS) will be used to deliver and support specialist troops across the battlefield to enable organic combined arms manoeuvre at the lowest tactical level alongside SCOUT equipped troops. PMRS provides safe transportation of the modern, fully equipped, soldier in a well protected environment. On dismount, the fully briefed troops will be able to more effectively conduct a variety of tasks such as dismounted surveillance (including patrols), observation posts and close target reconnaissance. It will also serve in a variety of non-specialist Liaison Officer roles, including Forward Air Controllers. At DSEI 2015, the international defense exhibition in United Kingdom, the Scout SV vehicle was renamed AJAX including six variants, AJAX, ARES, APOLLO, ATHENA, ATLAS and ARGUS. The ARES is now the name of the PMRS (Protected Mobility Recce Support) variant in the AJAX family. The first six ARES vehicles were delivered to the British Army in February 2019, and desktop training equipment and full-motion driver training simulators have been installed at the Armour Centre in Bovington and at Ministry of Defence Lyneham to support advanced training of British Army soldiers. |
