Design

The M16 Miloš is based on a chassis with self-supporting hull and has modern drive assemblies with T700 drive line that has been developed by Timoney and Texelis with independent suspension system which ensures high mobility in any terrain and weather conditions thus enabling maximum combat weight of 14 tons. With use of twenty inch aluminum rims vehicle gains clearance of the 420mm thus allowing high mobility and better off-road capability. M16 Milos can climb forward slopes up to 60%, drive on side slopes of 30%, and successfully cross trenches up to 0,9m wide. Can cross over water 1 meter deep without preparation. Vehicle has turning radius of 9 meters.Milosh BOV M16 4x4 multi-purpose armored combat vehicle

300 hp diesel engine is installed in the front part in conjunction with Allison 3500SP automatic transmission. Such a configuration enables maximum speed of the vehicle to exceed 110 km/h.


Protection and Armor

The main hull is made of special protected sheet steel. Basic armour gives few different level of protection in various parts of vehicles: * Level III STANAG 4569 (on the front side). * Level III STANAG 4569 (on the other sides). * Level IIa and IIb STANAG 4569 (anti-mine protection). Additional ballistic protection could be achieved by combining the ballistic plates of the additional armor depending on its purpose. Modular amour characteristic provides fast replacement of the damaged plates in field conditions. Wheels has " run-flat", feature provided by Tyron with the central tire inflation system, ensuring mobility of the vehicle up to 50 km in a case when tires are seriously damaged.Christopher F Fos
