Improved
Ratel+ Modernisation programme
The Ratel is a legend. We just made it better.
Originally built in the 1970s, the Ratel Infantry Combat Vehicle has served on the front lines in South Africa and abroad for over four decades, including on UN peacekeeping tours. Jorsin Enterprise has now taken this battlefield veteran and given it a modern tactical edge with our Ratel+ redesign.
Optimisation Features:
- Central Powerpack Configuration: Complete relocation of the engine and transmission to a centre-mounted position, maximising crew space and operational comfort. The slide-out powerpack configuration facilitates easier maintenance.
- Enhanced Egress System: Rear ramp configuration replaces original side doors, providing tactical dismount capability under cover and improved survivability during contact.
- All-round Visibility Enhancement: Additional sight blocks eliminate blind spots previously created by the original engine compartment positioning.
- Drivetrain Modernisation: The Jorsin Enterprise-developed connector gearbox enables parallel engine-transmission setup using proven COTS military components while retaining original axle systems for familiar handling characteristics, durability and reliability.
- Maintenance Continuity: Component selection prioritises field support compatibility and established logistical frameworks.
Each Ratel+ delivery includes complete systems integration,
comprehensive testing and validation, professional repainting, and full operator training programmes to ensure immediate operational readiness.
