For Immediate Release ATV CORP INTRODUCES A NEW ‘PROWLER’:
PROWLER II SIDE-BY-SIDE LIGHT TACTICAL WHEELED VEHICLE
Orange, CA, March 11, 2005 — All Terrain Vehicle (ATV)
Corporation today unveiled the Side-by-Side version of its
Prowler ITV (Internally Transportable Vehicle) Light Tactical
Wheeled Vehicle, the new Prowler II Side-by-Side
Tactical/Assault Platform.
The Prowler II Side-by-Side Tactical/Assault platform was
designed to satisfy the military’s need for a vehicle
with the same general physical dimension as the Prowler ITV but
able to handle more payload and crew. Prowler II features the
same characteristics as the Prowler ITV: exceptional
reliability, stability, rugged endurance, speed, power, and
unique operator protection. Like the Prowler ITV, the Prowler II
is multi-mission configurable and easily deployed to operate
easily in any terrain or climate.
The Prowler II is purpose built, like the Prowler ITV, to
overcome the severe limitations of generic ATVs
regarding operator safety, vehicle reliability, rugged endurance
and operator control. The Prowler is not a recreational ATV
modified for military use. For example, the Prowler is designed
so that it can be operated with one hand and driven like a car.
This contrasts with an ATV, which requires the operator to
straddle the machine, steer with handlebars, use both hands to
control brakes and throttle, and use his body to maintain
stability.
ATV Corporation is a subsidiary of Phoenix International
Systems, Inc. (Orange, CA), an ISO 9001:2000
certified SDVOSB that has been supplying state of the art COTS
products in support of military operations since
1993.
