CM-005 Armored Vehicle

The CM-005 special purpose armored vehicle are intended for transporting personnel and cargo, towing trailer systems, as well as mounting weapons and military equipment, while ensuring the required level of bullet (mine) protection. All the CM-005 vehicle versions are designed to operate in any weather, day or night, and allow outdoor storage under the following conditions:
Operating ambient temperatures of -50 to +50 °C;
Dust content of the air of up to 1.5 g/m3 and wind speed of up to 20 m/s;
Mountainous terrain (elevation above sea level up to 4,500 m and with a capability of negotiating 4,650 meter mountain passes) with a corresponding decline in towing and dynamic performance and fuel efficiency;
Relative humidity of up to 98% at the temperatures of up to 25 °C;
Precipitation rate of 180 mm/h;
Integrated heat flux density of 1125 (0.027) W/m2 (cal/cm2•s).
The armored vehicles combine the characteristics of an all-terrain vehicle and a speed maneuverable car. They use an independent torsion bar suspension, which makes it possible to attain the highest possible speed when driving on rough terrain, while maintaining a high level of comfort ride for the crew and on-board troops. The vehicles are fitted with a diesel engine and manual 5-speed transmission. Both vehicles can tow a 2.5 ton trailer.
The CM-005 armored vehicle has an armored hull welded from steel sheets, which is fastened to the frame in ten points via rubber pads. All the windows and doors in the hull are provided with bulletproof glasses. The windshield bulletproof glasses are fitted with wipers, while the other bulletproof glasses are equipped with opening mechanisms that ensure the opening outward and upward with fixed positions.
The CM-005’s design has incorporated numerous improvements aimed at enhancing its operating characteristics, reliability, ergonomics, bullet and mine protection.
With its large interior volume, combined with high load-carrying capacity, protection and cross-country performance, the CM-005 vehicle can be used as a platform for mounting a wide range of weapon systems, reconnaissance, communications, electronic warfare, and other equipment.
The standard equipment of the vehicle includes: a central tire inflation system allowing the driver to adjust the tire pressure on the move, depending on the road conditions, an electric winch with a pulling force of 4,000 kg and a filtration unit.
