Plasan, an Israeli manufacturer of armor protection solutions for vehicles, is unveiling a new variant of the SandCat Stormer for police and counter-terrorism units at Milipol 2017, taking place these days in Paris. As a response to the growing domestic terror and violence seen over recent years, Plasan is launching a designated anti-terror and riot-control vehicle and for the first time, a Right Hand Drive, or RHD, version is offered for RHD countries.
The new RHD SandCat Stormer is equipped with the new SCAT system to address low-intensity conflict violence with a variety of non-lethal means, providing precise and proportionate crowd control, preventing civilian casualties, and with no risk to the system operators. SCAT is a roof-mounted Non-Lethal RCWS with day & night imaging, command and control system, light dazzler, multi-shot 40mm smoke/gas grenade launcher, long-range acoustic device, and optional rifle.
According to Plasan, the SandCat offers unique optimization between protection, payload, and cost by using composite materials to defeat threats once only encountered in warzones, but now seen in attacks on city streets. This includes B6/B7 protection + AK47 7.62x39 AP + Dragunov 7.62x54 AP, a floor protected against two DM51 hand grenades, and more.
The SandCat Stormer is designed to serve in various mission profiles requiring a highly maneuverable and protected vehicle, such as urban law enforcement, peacekeeping, homeland security and border patrol. It is based on a commercial Ford F550 Super Duty chassis with a powerful engine and four-wheel-drive. The armored cabin accommodates up to 10 passengers.
