Alvis introduce the Shadow reconnaissance vehicle

20 June 2000

Alvis Vehicles Ltd has unveiled the Alvis Shadow at Eurosatory 2000. Never before seen in public, Shadow has been designed for special operations use, where both high mobility and high accuracy firepower is critical for mission success.

The 4x4 drive platform (based on the Hummer extended capability vehicle) with a payload of over 1200kg the Shadow has been designed for a three-man crew to carry out reconnaissance missions and, by adding various weapon options available, to take on the threat of considerably larger vehicles.

Two Alvis Shadows will fit inside a CH 47, ensuring that these vehicles can quickly be inserted into strategic locations. With a choice of weapons to mount onto the fully traversing weapon ring, Shadow features substantial fire power, combined with a high mobility, high performance,.

Because of its non-aggressive appearance Alvis says the Shadow is well-suited to peace support roles.
