In the UK, representatives of the country's armed forces are testing a hybrid amphibious vehicle HAWC. This is what the Army Recognition information resource writes about.

Testing of the new car began in November 2023. The exercise, called Blunting Strike, is part of a broader test of various types of weapons aimed at adapting the British ground forces and other types of armed forces to combat operations in modern conditions.

The main feature of the amphibious vehicle is that it can be controlled both by the driver and remotely. Experts call this opportunity a significant breakthrough in military technology. In addition, the machine can be used in almost any terrain.

In addition to British servicemen, military personnel from the United States, France, Germany, Italy and Spain are taking part in the tests. The partners of the British armed Forces offer innovative solutions to improve the combat and technical characteristics of the vehicle.

Another key feature of the HIPPO HAWC machine is its impressive load capacity. A small machine can carry a load of up to 1000 kg. This feature allows soldiers to move more freely and focus directly on the conduct of combat operations. The vehicle can be adapted to different purposes – from tactical cargo transportation to evacuation of the wounded, and even to performing special tasks within the framework of fire and rescue operations.

Vehicles of this type can be transported by support helicopters, dropped by parachutes, which makes them ideal for use in airmobile and airborne operations. Such cars can be used in the jungle, mountainous terrain, the diesel generator built into these cars provides an increased power reserve, allowing you to cover a distance of more than 150 kilometers.

Finally, do not forget about the automation of the control of this machine. The British military characterizes the amphibian as an advanced solution in the field of military logistics and support.
