In January 2006, when the ADF's Iraq and Afghanistan deployments
were in the news, one semi-load (3 vehicles) of an unknown supply contract
for refurbished/reconfigured Perentie 4x4 110s were spotted being transported
from the Adelaide contractor to delivery at the ADF's DNSDC Moorebank
Stores. These vehicles are rather obviously for Special Forces, appearing
for all the world to be a 4x4 version of the 6x6 LRPV. They were not
new chassis. They were wearing late series ARNs. The engines fitted?
That's not established, other being diesel of course. They were certainly
more extensively equipped than the "Truck, Surveillance, Lightweight,
Winch, MC2 [ Norforce, Pilbara, 51FNQ ]" already in service for a decade
or so.
Update Jan 2007: Through the Defence Department's website we have identified
these vehicles as Surveillance Reconnaissance Vehicles or SRV's.
