This one is an outstanding Jordanian weapon...I want to know about its self destruct safety feature...therez a button which self destructs the launcher or missile self destructs before hitting the target? I never heard of such safety feature before

This one is an outstanding Jordanian weapon...I want to know about its self destruct safety feature...therez a button which self destructs the launcher or missile self destructs before hitting the target? I never heard of such safety feature before

As you know this RPG is dangerous, affordable (7000 JOD), easy to smuggle and use, yet, it has this feature so whenever it falls into the wrong hands it gets destructed, but I don't know how.

- Covert response from KADDB:

By: IHS Web Editor
Published: 07 May 2012
Among the impressive exhibits in the King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau display in Hall 5 is a new covert response vehicle. Looking like a regular van when on the move, it can transform into a command post, surveillance platform and gun position.

Using a Ford F550 large pickup truck as a basis, KADDB has designed a covert fast-response vehicle that can be used in many defence and security situations. A box body mounted on the flat-bed gives no clue as to what is inside, allowing the vehicle to operate discreetly in sensitive areas. However, when the system is required for operation, the box sides and roof fold down to reveal a gun post and surveillance system.

A range of sensors can be fitted for surveillance, mounted on a retractable mast that can extend to a height of 5.7m. The mast can mount sensors of up to 85kg weight.

The swivelling gun mount is a ballistically protected shield that can mount a variety of weapons, depending on user requirements.

To cater for extended-duration operations, the vehicle comes complete with two bunks, a water sink, refrigerator and a chemical toilet. The vehicle is air-conditioned to make the temporary quarters comfortable for the crew.

M35 Mine protected carrier

The M35 Mine Protected Carrier (MPC) is a joint development between AM General of the United States (who originally built the M35 6 × 6 truck), the King Hussien Main Workshops of Jordan and Mechem Consultants of South Africa.

Marketing of the M35 MPC is carried out by the National Resources Development Company of Jordan with the assistance of the King Abdullah Design and Development Bureau (KADDB).

The first two production standard M35 MPCs were completed early in 1998 although tests of the new mine protected body on a 6 × 6 chassis had been completed well before this date, in South Africa.

It has been designed as a low cost mine protected carrier for the transport of troops in areas where there is a significant risk from anti-tank mines.

The King Hussien Main Workshops have been responsible for the chassis while Mechem has been responsible for the new mine protected all-welded steel armour cab and troop compartment.

AM General supplied the automotive parts of the upgrade as most of these are the same as those used in its Extended Service Plan for the M35 truck used by the US Army National Guard and Reserve.

- Description:

The M35 Mine Protected Carrier (MPC) essentially consists of a modified US supplied AM General M35 2.5 ton (US) (6 × 6) truck chassis fitted with a mine protected cab and mine protected rear troop area.

Both the cab and rear troop area have a V-shaped bottom to provide the maximum possible protection from the blast of anti-tank mines. A special kit can be supplied to provide enhanced protection against the Russian TMRP-6 Self-Forming Fragmentation (SFF) anti-tank mine.

The standard level of armour provides protection against 7.62 mm × 51 ball ammunition all round and against a conventional TM-57 anti-tank mine under any wheel station.

The chassis has been modified by the installation of a new power pack consisting of a Caterpillar 3116 170 hp diesel coupled to a ZF fully automatic transmission.

The standard M35 (6 × 6) truck has dual rear wheels but on the M35 MPC these have been replaced by single wheels and tyres which have also been fitted to the front axle.

A central tyre-pressure regulation system has been installed which allows the driver to adjust the tyre pressure to suit the terrain being crossed. A replacement wheel and tyre are under the left side of the chassis.

The commander and driver are seated in the fully enclosed all-welded steel cab to the rear of the engine compartment. This is provided with bulletproof windows in the front, sides and rear. The crew enter via a square door in each side of the upper part of the cab which opens forwards.

The rear troop compartment has a large door in the rear with opens to the left and this is supplied with a large bulletproof window. The are also large bulletproof windows in either side of the troop compartment and one at the front. Hatches are also provided in the roof. Ten troops are carried in the rear and these are seated five down each side facing each other. The troops enter and leave via the rear door and additional step provided at the rear of the vehicle.

GJU Students Participated at SOFEX

A Mechatronics project by GJU was one of four university projects represented this year at Special Operations Forces Exhibition and Conference (SOFEX) which took place from 8 to 10 May 2012. His Majesty King Abdullah II visited the project booth and was introduced to the student members that worked on it.

The project implemented an electrically powered Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) capable of autonomous GPS navigation while avoiding road obstacles and providing visual day and night surveillance from a range up to 1.5 kilometers. The main application of the UGV is an "unmanned patrol" where it can be programmed to follow a path on the ground such as a base perimeter, a border fence, or a gas pipeline for example. It can also be teleoperated from a distance and provide streaming day and night video of the environment it traverses. In addition, it serves as a base for other applications when outfitted with appropriate sensors and manipulators. The UGV can operate for two hours on a single charge and reach a speed of seven kilometers per hour.

it is worth mentioning that the Mechatronics engineering graduation project was sponsored with 6000 JD by the King Abdullah II Fund for Development (KAFD), 1000 JD by the Applied Scientific Research Fund (ASRF), and administered by the King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau (KADDB). The project was advised by Dr. Nathir Rawashdeh, Head of Mechatronics Engineering Department, the student team includes: Mr. Hudhaifa Jasim, Mr. Rakan Abu-Shanab, and Mr. Mahmoud Subbak.
