On today’s dynamic battlefields, mission success relies on next-generation platforms that deliver operational agility, robust protection and seamless system integration, empowering ground forces with a tactical edge to execute complex operations with precision and confidence.
NIMR’s AJBAN MK2 family of armoured vehicles delivers on these priorities, offering forces an unmatched combination of protection, performance and mission adaptability.
From internal security operations to combat zone deployments, these mission-ready, multi-role 4×4 platforms enable military and security personnel to operate with decisiveness, respond swiftly to threats and maintain tactical superiority across varied terrains and mission profiles.
At the core of the AJBAN MK2 family lies a robust design, tailored to meet the evolving operational demands of armed forces worldwide.
Robust design for the harshest environments
The AJBAN 452A, 432AU and 442A all feature a V-hull design for optimal ballistic and blast protection, delivering exceptional mine resistance and ensuring crew survivability in high-threat environments.
The vehicles’ reinforced structure is complemented by a powerful turbocharged diesel engine, generating 360 horsepower and delivering the traction required for a wide range of missions, from troop transport to extended patrol, combat support and command, control and communication operations.
Each vehicle incorporates a full-time four-wheel-drive and central tyre inflation system (CTIS), enabling real-time pressure adjustment for rapid terrain adaptation, whether navigating sand slopes, rocky gradients, or urban rubble.
The vehicles are also equipped with an advanced suspension system, offering superior off-road performance and extended operational reach.
Optimised operational readiness, efficient maintenance
To ensure minimal disruption in the field, these platforms are fitted with a single-unit powerpack, which enables rapid extraction for efficient field maintenance, significantly reducing downtime and enhancing mission readiness.
Moreover, the vehicles’ integrated electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) ensures seamless operation of onboard systems without interference from or to surrounding equipment. Whether supporting electronic warfare missions or operating near sensitive communication infrastructure, these platforms deliver optimal performance without compromise.
Tactical flexibility and adaptability
Designed for modularity, these vehicles can be equipped with a range of mission-specific payloads and battlefield systems.
Roof-mounted weapon systems, smoke grenade launchers, obstacle awareness cameras and gun ports support operational flexibility and ensure crew safety. Meanwhile, optional enhancements such as a nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) air filtration system, run-flat tyre inserts, sealed fuel tanks and an automatic fire-extinguishing system add layers of protection for frontline operations.
With a top speed of 110 km/h and an operational range of 700 km, these platforms are built to perform on every mission, whether it’s a prolonged convoy escort or rapid-deployment reconnaissance.
AJBAN 452A: Tactical versatility with extended capacity
The AJBAN 452A stands as the high-capacity variant in the AJBAN MK2 family. Built to accommodate a crew of 11, this versatile tactical powerhouse adapts seamlessly to roles ranging from armoured personnel carrier (APC) to command and control, artillery observation and internal security.
The added space also allows for ambulance configuration, ensuring that medical teams can access hostile environments to evacuate and stabilise casualties under armour.
With a payload capacity of up to 3,500 kg, the AJBAN 452A enables forces to transport specialised payloads, critical equipment and combat support systems without compromising speed or performance.
Furthermore, the vehicle’s interior layout provides ample room for integrating command, control and communication systems tailored to mission requirements.
Engineered for endurance and adaptability, this mission-ready platform delivers reliable performance across a broad range of mission profiles, enhancing operational effectiveness and fleet efficiency, both key priorities for modern ground forces.
AJBAN 442A: Advanced support for critical missions
Correspondingly, the AJBAN 442A brings a tactical edge to critical missions requiring enhanced mobility and advanced command, control and communication capabilities.
Designed to protect a crew of five, it boasts a higher payload capacity of 4,000 kg, supporting the seamless integration of specialised communication and surveillance systems.
Whether serving as an observation vehicle, a mobile command centre, or a dedicated communications platform, the AJBAN 442A provides the reliability and adaptability to meet the requirements of modern ground operations.
The vehicle’s agile design enables it to seamlessly navigate challenging terrain and confined spaces, while its robust architecture allows it to support mechanised units in fast-paced combat scenarios.
Moreover, its ability to accommodate advanced communication and command systems positions it as a true force multiplier for ground forces.
AJBAN 432AU: Field logistics, redefined
Completing the AJBAN MK2 range, the 432AU variant is engineered for demanding utility, logistical and battlefield support roles, delivering essential tactical capabilities for sustained operations.
Built on the same proven architecture as its combat-focused counterparts, the 432AU accommodates a three-person crew and offers a payload capacity of up to 4,300 kg.
The vehicle’s rugged structure and high payload capacity allow it to transport mission-critical payloads across diverse terrain. Meanwhile, its versatile design supports a range of modular configurations, including cargo boxes, shelters, and mortar systems, ensuring that frontline units receive reliable tactical assistance without compromising mobility or protection.
In today’s dispersed, fast-paced ground operations, this level of logistical adaptability is not just valuable, it’s essential.
Force multipliers
NIMR’s AJBAN MK2 family delivers a versatile and highly adaptable solution that supports diverse military and security missions.
These vehicles are designed not only to withstand the demands of modern battlefields, but to serve as a force multiplier, optimising operational efficiency, enhancing personnel safety and enabling mission success in any environment.
Whether deployed in rugged desert terrain, dense urban streets, or high-threat combat zones, the AJBAN 452A, 432AU and 442A offer the protection, performance and adaptability that define modern military excellence.
