Roshel Unveils the Senator MRAP: Cutting-Edge Armored Vehicle for Modern Defense Challenges
Roshel Smart Armored Vehicles, a leading manufacturer of armored solutions in North America and the largest supplier of armored vehicles to Ukraine during Russia’s invasion, has unveiled its latest product, the Senator MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected), at the CANSEC show in Ottawa. This highly anticipated addition to Roshel’s tactical vehicle lineup showcases the company’s commitment to providing state-of-the-art solutions for modern defense and security challenges. The Senator MRAP has successfully completed rigorous STANAG 4569 AEP 55 level 2 and level 2a/2b ballistic and blast tests conducted by a NATO-certified independent laboratory based in the United States.
Designed to withstand calibers up to 7.62×39mm API BZ at 30 meters with a velocity of 695 m/s, as well as a 6 kg explosive blast activated under any wheel and at the center, the Senator MRAP offers unparalleled levels of protection, mobility, and versatility. Its innovative V-shaped hull effectively deflects blasts away from the cabin, ensuring maximum crew survivability by dissipating explosive energy. The vehicle’s customizable layout and advanced engineering provide an ergonomic and adaptable workspace, guaranteeing optimal performance and operational efficiency. The MRAP is available in various configurations, including counter UAV, medical evacuation, and command and control (C2), catering to the unique demands of each mission.
Based on the reliable Ford F-550 heavy-duty commercial platform, the Senator MRAP is favored by combat teams for its ease of serviceability and maintenance. Leveraging the extensive service network of Ford vehicles worldwide, the Senator MRAP ensures efficient and accessible maintenance support. Despite its high level of ballistic and blast protection, the vehicle remains lightweight and responsive, thanks to innovative engineering and active protection systems. With its high ground clearance, four-wheel drive, and a powerful 6.7L turbo diesel engine, the Senator MRAP exhibits excellent off-road capabilities across diverse terrains.
Roman Shimonov, CEO of Roshel Smart Armored Vehicles, expressed excitement about the unveiling of the Senator MRAP at the CANSEC show, emphasizing the company’s commitment to innovation and addressing the evolving needs of modern security and defense forces. The successful ballistic and blast tests mark a significant milestone for Roshel as it continues to develop cutting-edge technology and deliver robust solutions that meet the demands of today’s challenging operational environments.
