GDELS Turns Heads with Merlin LTV

Our Bureau - : Jun 14, 2022 - : 1:03 am

General Dynamics European Land Systems (GDELS) is presenting its 4×4 Light Tactical Vehicle Merlin at the ongoing show.

Merlin, a small Falcon, responds to the latest operational requirements of modern Airborne, Special Forces and Light Infantry Forces. The vehicle, designed by GDELS, is based upon the same engineering principles as the combat-proven Eagle.

The LTV Merlin provides superior multi-role as well as payload potential and protection for its military users. The 4×4 vehicle fits inside CH-47 and/or CH-53 transport helicopters and can accommodate up to 10 soldiers.

The driveline and suspension technology of the vehicle is a derivate of GDELS’ in-service Duro/ Eagle 4×4 chassis. This provides significant savings in operator and maintenance training and maximises commonality in tools and spare parts. Powered by a modern diesel engine, Merlin can be configured in different variants for personnel transport, ambulance, logistic and combat missions.
