The Coyote tactical support vehicle (TSV light) is based on a 6x6 derivative of the Jackal 2 and will support the go-anywhere high-mobility Jackals across the harsh Afghanistan terrain.

The extra two wheels will give a heavier vehicle, approaching 10,500kg, which will act in support of the Jackal 2 and allow transportation of supplies and equipment over similar terrain (the payload for supplies and equipment will be 1.5t).

The Coyote will carry an extra crew member than the Jackal 2, but will have similar protection systems, armament and propulsion.

Coyote and Jackal 2 are part of a £700m Protected Patrol Vehicles package to put highly protected, versatile vehicles on the front line.
