A division of EDGE Group, AL JASOOR, the UAE armored vehicle specialist, unveiled a new variant of its Rabdan 8×8 Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV) – the Rabdan Ambulance – on the first day of the World Defense Expo held in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia .
The new configuration is uniquely designed to provide off-road mobility and mine-resistant, ambush-protected (MRAP) level protection to military medics on ambulatory missions in high-threat environments.
Dr Jasem Al Zaabi, Acting CEO, AL JASOOR, said: “The Rabdan Ambulance combines best-in-class off-road mobility with a life-saving crew protection system for emergency medical services in landscapes too harsh to ordinary ambulances. Like the Rabdan 8×8, its innovative design protects occupants during operations in high-risk environments.
“Having a high degree of similarity to the Rabdan 8×8 platform, the ambulance variant reduces costs for our customers, meets the demands of modern warfare and optimizes value for all operational requirements.” The Rabdan 8×8 ambulance provides emergency evacuation capabilities while protecting patients and medics with optimal protection against enemy fire, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and other battlefield threats. An impressive powertrain and military-grade drive means this vehicle can handle front formations, even in the harshest terrain.
Along with a design that protects crew and patients from the deadliest threats, the Rabdan ambulance features a raised roof and a large interior volume configured with extensive medical equipment. With space for medics to maneuver, the vehicle has capacity for up to nine personnel, including medics and patients.
AL JASOOR is part of the Platforms and Systems Cluster at EDGE, an advanced technology company that ranks among the top 25 military suppliers in the world.
