The RN-94
6x6 armored personnel carrier was developed as a private venture by
the Nurol Makina of Turkey and Romarm of
Romania. The first prototype was built in 1995. Turkish Army has
purchased five pre-production RN-94s for evaluation, but no
production orders had been placed.
The RN-94
can be fitted with a wide range of weapon systems. Trial version has
been fitted with the Giat Dragar turret, armed with a 25-mm cannon
and 7.62-mm coaxial machine gun. The first prototype of the RN-94
was completed with 12.7-mm and 7.62-mm machine guns.
Armor of the
RN-94 provides protection against small arms fire and artillery
shell splinters. Vehicle is also fitted with NBC protection and
automatic fire suppression systems.
Vehicle has
a crew of two and can carry 11 fully equipped troops. Occupants
enter and leave vehicle via roof hatches and twin doors in the rear.
A number of firing ports are provided for the crew.
The RN-94
uses a number of automotive components of the Romanian TAB-77 8x8
APC. It is powered by the Cummins CTA 8.3-10 diesel engine,
developing 240 horsepower. Vehicle is fully amphibious. On water it
is propelled by two waterjets.
Variants
