| Miscellaneous Info: | The Initial Jackal vehicles were
based on (and referred to as) the HMT 400 "Menacity". Subsequently, they were
called the M-WMIK (Mobility - Weapons Mounted Installation Kit) vehicle
and then named Jackal. The Australians and Danes use similar
vehicles based upon the HMT400 chassis and called the Nary and HMT400E
(Extenda) respectively. The Jackal 2 and
Coyote 6x6 TSV are based
on a similar chassis with a commonality of parts. The main differences between the Jackal 1 & Jackal 2 vehicles are: the Jackal 2 has a more powerful engine, strengthened chassis and suspension (with corrresponding higher performance capacity and heavier vehicle weight) and a 4th blast protected seat (which wasn't similarily protected on the Jackal 1). Visually, the most prominent difference is the top "hamper" is bit higher on the Jackal 2, but can be folded down. |
