History

Despite its armour, the Ferret Scout Car was not designed to engage enemy heavy armour. Instead, it relied on its low silhouette, speed, and stealth to make contact with enemy units, some of which were performing similar reconnaissance tasks.

Their mission was to transmit real-time radio updates to headquarters, and if they moved beyond radio range, a second HQ Ferret would relay their messages back. They provided military planners with crucial information, and if discovered, the Ferret could swiftly remove the crew from any combat situation.
