Bowman vehicle installation kit VIK K5435 (Wolf TUL/TUM FFR)

General Dynamics UK · United Kingdom · 2004–2015

The General Dynamics installation kit that put the Bowman HF/VHF/UHF radio suite into a Wolf 110 FFR: a radio table with legs and side brackets across the rear body, equipment trays and mounting brackets, an AMU (antenna matching unit) cover plate, antenna-base vehicle mountings, RF-equipment covers, water-bladder and hydration-sack stowage trays and the wiring. Bowman's weight is why the Wolf 90 FFR was largely sold off while the 110 stayed; Projects Hermes and Shoehorn (anti-roll bars raising payload 150 kg to 3,500 kg on 3,500 Wolfs) were the DPA contracts that made the fit possible.

Wolf 110 TUM HS FFR primarily; 90 TUL FFR fleet reduced because Bowman was too heavy
