Originally acquired by Australia under Project Land 121 Phase 4 – Protected Mobility Vehicle (Light) or PMV-L, the Thales Hawkei is/was a competitor to the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) Program.

Yes, they've been going on for a while now, but previously the only pics of them were from a couple hundred meters away in other moving vehicles. These are the first clear pics and the Hawkei appears to be a unique modification to Japan with the Howa smoke launchers above the front windows and the gun shield.
