Introduction to the Mamba
Conceived to protect multi-role forces operating in a mine-threatened environment, the Mamba mine-protected APC and its variants offer high degrees of ballistic and mine protection, coupled with excellent mobility and manoeuvrability.
Over 1,000 Mamba�s are currently in service with the South African National Army and around the world with many other users such as the UN, British Army, and several other defence forces.
Mamba has an enviable in-service record for user-friendliness, reliability and ease of logistic support.
Sound ergonomic design and the tried and tested Unimog 416 suspension and driveline provide enviable handling characteristics and high levels of crew comfort.
Mamba Hull and Chassis
The Mamba has and all-welded V-shaped hull of monocoque design with large windows for excellent all-round vision and a large rear door for easy mounting and dismounting. Eight outward-folding roof hatches provide further mounting and dismounting possibilities and for the employment of weapons.
The design and composition of the hull provides protection to the vehicle�s occupants against the effects of anti-tank mines with charges equivalent to 14kg of TNT detonated under any wheel or 7kg of TNT detonated under the hull.
Externally mounted fuel and drinking water tanks will blast free of the vehicle in the event of explosions to reduce fire hazards and the ample storage bins are also as standard external mounts.
Additional protection against the self-forming fragment mines, such as the TMRP-6, is available as an option.

Mamba Ballistic protection
The hull and glass offer protection against 7.62 x 51mm and 5.56 x 45mm NATO ball ammunition. Optional protection against 7,62 x 51mm NATO armour-piercing ammunition is available.
Mamba Interior
The vehicle gives a 360-degree visibility to all occupants at a level similar to the average family station wagon and offers first class ride comfort with the driver enjoying all the benefits of a medium commercial truck.
