Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) (CVR(T)) Operating in Afghanistan
A CVR(T) (Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked)) vehicle is pictured being operated across the harsh desert terrain of Afghanistan by soldiers of the 9th/12th Royal Lancers.
The first of the enhanced Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) (CVR(T)) fleet are now operational and being put to good use by the Lancers, whose main task is to overwatch the battle space either side of Highways 1 and 611, the two main supply routes that run through the Task Force Helmand area of operations.
BAE Systems has upgraded the armour on all five vehicles that make up the CVR(T) family Scimitar, Spartan, Samson, Sultan and Samaritan through an Urgent Operational Requirement process worth around £ 30M. CVR(T) was on display in the UK for the first time at the DSEi exhibition in London.
As part of the contract, the vehicles have been re-hulled to give better mine-blast protection for troops, improved armour added for enhanced resistance to blasts and ballistics, as well as new mine-blast protection seating in every position in every variant. Other enhancements include repositioned foot controls and a revamped fuel system.
Scimitar Mk 2 builds on a number of upgrades that have previously been made to the CVR(T), which address the problems experienced while operating in the harsh Afghan environment. These previous upgrades have included improved power output, new gearboxes and transmissions, air conditioning, improved communications, air filters and night vision systems

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance (Tracked) (CVR (T)) vehicle in action, maneuvering through the unforgiving desert terrain of Afghanistan. Operated by soldiers from the 9th/12th Royal Lancers, these enhanced vehicles are now operational and playing a crucial role in overseeing the battle space along Highways 1 and 611. BAE Systems has invested approximately £30M to upgrade the armor on all five CVR (T) family vehicles - Scimitar, Spartan, Samson, Sultan, and Samaritan. This Urgent Operational Requirement process has resulted in improved mine-blast protection for troops with re-hulled vehicles and enhanced resistance to blasts and ballistics through additional armor. Every position in every variant is equipped with new mine-blast protection seating. Furthermore, various other enhancements have been made to address challenges faced while operating in Afghanistan's harsh environment. These include repositioned foot controls for better ergonomics, a revamped fuel system for improved efficiency, as well as upgrades such as improved power output, new gearboxes and transmissions, air conditioning systems, advanced communications equipment, air filters for dust prevention, and night vision systems. This significant upgrade program ensures that the CVR (T) fleet remains at the forefront of military technology while providing increased safety measures for soldiers deployed on challenging missions. The display of CVR (T) at London's DSEi exhibition marked its first appearance in the UK after these extensive improvements were implemented.
