I PROJECT PERENTIE - BACKGROUND

The Army Staff Requirement for the Army's Range of Light Field Vehicles' was approved in February 1981. From this EDE prepared a Requirement Study and draft Design and Development (DD(X)) Specifications which were issued in June 1981.

The approved specifications were used as a basis for calling tenders in June 1982 for a Truck, Utility, Lightweight, MC2 with payload between 0.7 and 1 tonne and a Truck, Cargo, Light, MC2 with payload between 1.5 and 2 tonne.

From the seven tenders received for each vehicle type a short list of three of the 1 tonne class vehicles and two of the 2 tonne class vehicles was arrived at. Orders for three examples of each contender for evaluation trials were announced in May 1983.

Defence Trial 8/484 for Light Field Vehicles was notified in September 1983 together with the establishment of a special trials unit, the Light Truck Trials Team. This unit was based at Puckapunyal and operated two of the three vehicles of each type to evaluate them in typical operational roles. The third vehicle of each type underwent initial examination, specification check and automotive reliability assessment by EDE at its Proving Ground, Monegeetta, Victoria.

Following revalidation of tenders for production quantities of vehicles, contracts were signed with Jaguar Rover Australia in October 1986 for 2500 Land Rover 110 4x4 vehicles and 400 Land Rover 110 6x6 vehicles.

The Truck, Utility, Lightweight, MC2 was to be developed into a total of six variants and the Truck, Cargo, Light, MC2, which was to have only a basic cargo body version, was also ultimately developed to produce six variants.

The first production Land Rover 110 4x4s were accepted into service in August 1987 and the first Land Rover 110 6x6 in March 1989.
