IDEF 2017: FNSS expands Pars range

The Scout vehicle has been referred to as a Special Purpose vehicle because it is part of the package that the company is proposing for the Turkish Army's Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) programme, which calls for an infantry reconnaissance vehicle (Scout), CBRN, C2 and a communications vehicle.
