PARS III 8X8 is the new generation of wheeled armored combat vehicle (WACV) designed and developed by FNSS Savunma Sistemleri A.Ş. PARS III 8X8 has been developed with a special emphasis on mobility, protection, payload and growth potential. The vehicles employ the latest designs and technologies with a focus on the performance and durability of modern military operational requirements. The vehicles are available in 4X4, 6X6 and 8X8 configurations. The PARS family of vehicles takes its name from the “Anatolian Leopard”.

The PARS III 8X8 combat weight is 30,000 kg and is powered by a

diesel engine. The powerpack consists of a water cooled diesel en-

gine, coupled with a fully automatic transmission which generates a

maximum road speed of up to 100 km/h. PARS III 8X8 is capable of

maneuvering on a 60% vertical and 30% horizontal gradient, climbing

70 cm-high obstacles and crossing 200 cm-wide trenches. Thanks to

the engine layout and favored balanced design, the vehicle has almost

equal axle loads. This design approach gives the vehicle the ability to

move comfortably even on loose and soft terrain, providing increased

road-holding at high speeds and short braking distances. The vehicle

has 8X8 driving characteristics, and all of its axles can be locked when

necessary. The central tire inflation system allows the driver to adjust

the tire pressures to suit different terrain conditions.

It boasts the highest steering swing on the wheels and lowest turning radius in its class.

The fully independent hydro-pneumatic suspension system, which

gives the vehicle the highest wheel travel of its class, and ensures the

best road grip under different road conditions. The PARS III 8X8 all-axle

steering system gives the vehicle the lowest turning radius in its class

at 8 m. The ability of gradual decreasing of steer by wire of rear axles

and locking over certain speeds, together with the ABS system and the

engine brake all contribute to enhanced driving safety.

The two-man driver’s cab at front of the vehicle offers a 180° horizontal field of vision and a high level of driving safety and comfort. Large glass periscopes, and front driving and maneuver cameras with thermal cameras located at the front and rear of the vehicle provide the driver and commander with a wider field of vision.

With a range of over 800+ km, the PARS III 8X8 has fuel tanks incorporating special measures to protect against explosion and puncture, and a reserve fuel tank under the armor can be called upon in emergencies. Clip on runflat system enables PARS III 8x8 to continue its mission during emergency cases.

The PARS III 8X8 hull can be brought up to the level of protection

required by the user thanks to the modular design armor system.

The hull form, underbelly structure, base plates and specially de-

veloped mine-resistant seats are designed to protect personnel

against high-level mine threats. PARS III 8x8 has the protection level

of mine-resistant vehicles produced for personnel transport as well

while differentiating itself through the provision of superior capabili-

ties expected of a modern armored combat vehicle.

The PARS III 8x8 has an integrated air-conditioning system, and the

main difference of this system that makes it stand out from its coun-

terparts is that even in desert conditions, the vehicle’s internal tem-

perature can be kept at +25 °C.

The modular connection of the vehicle subsystems to its mine-re-

sistant hull ensures ease of maintenance and replacement, and it is

this ease of maintenance, replacement of moving parts and power

transmission systems in particular that make it superior to its coun-

terparts. The power pack architecture, which can be disassembled and

reassembled in less than 60 minutes, allows the user to replace the

engine on the field, as an additional benefit.

The PARS III 8X8 can be transported by air (A400, C17 & C5), sea, train or land.
