As for the new Ajban Mk 2 4x4 armored vehicle, the Hafeet Mk 2 offers a high level of protection against ballistic and mine threats. The design of the vehicle is tailored to the new needs of military and security forces.

The Hafeet Mk 2 6x6 armored vehicle was designed to offer a high degree of commonality between the second generation of Ajban and the Hafeet with the benefit in terms of training and support. The soldiers can be easy to train due to the commonality of both vehicles.

The Hafeet Mk 2 has been designed to provide a multirole platform that can be configured to perform a wide range of missions. The vehicle is available in APC (Armored Personnel Carrier) version with a crew of two and the possibility to accommodate eight fully gear military personnel. The Hafeet Mk 2 is also available as an artillery observation vehicle with radar and reconnaissance mast mounted on the roof of the vehicle. In the ambulance version, the vehicle is capable to carry a medical crew of four including the driver and commander as well as two stretchers. The surveillance and observation variant has a crew of four with onboard equipment including C4I (command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence) systems, independent power unit, and telescopic mast with radar and cameras.

The Hafeet Mk 2 has a GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight) of 16,500 kg with a maximum payload of 3,000 kg, double of the previous version. It has an approximate length of 7.0 m, a width of 2.45 m, and a height of 2.65 m.

The design of the vehicle offers high internal volume and comfort for the crew and infantrymen. The troop’s compartment is not separated from the driver and commander position, a real advantage to communicate during combat operations. Each side at the front of the vehicle has a single door that opens to the front with a small bulletproof window. The front of the hull is fitted with two large windscreens. Four small bulletproof windows are mounted on each side of the troop’s compartment as well as on the rear of the vehicle. There is one more single door located at the rear of the hull.

The Hafeet Mk 2 is based on a monocoque and V-hull design to reduce the effects of mine and IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) blast. The hull of the vehicle offers ballistic and mine protection Level 3 against the firing of small arms using 7.62 mm AP (Armor-Piercing) ammunition and the blast of 8 KG of TNT explosion under the wheels and center floor of the vehicle. The vehicle has a crew of two including driver and commander and can accommodate eight Infantrymen who are seated on individual anti-mine blast seats mounted on each side of the hull facing inward.

The roof of the Hafeet Mk 2 is fitted with roof hatches that can be used by the crew and the troops in case of emergency. The armament of the vehicle can include a 360° ring-mount as well as a remotely operated weapon station that can be armed with one machine gun up to 12.7 mm caliber or 40mm automatic grenade launcher.

The Hafeet Mk 2 is powered by a 360 hp Diesel engine coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmission. As for the Ajban Mk 2, the powerpack of the new Hafeet can be easily and quickly removed. The vehicle can reach a maximum road speed of 120 km/h with a maximum cruising range of 650 km at 100 km/h.
