It is specifically designed to mechanized power armor-equipped infantry units, such as the [[6th Queen Elizabeth&#039;s Own Gurkha Rifles|6th Gurkha Rifles]]. It is able to externally mount 6 Armour Body Powered Infantry (ABPI) power armor systems from which the operators can mount under armor and NBC protection.<br /> <br /> The Boarhound is armed with an M3A2 caliber .50 heavy machine gun (a modified American aircraft machine gun) and a Taden Mk4 caliber .280 general-purpose machine gun mounted in a one-man turret. An optional machine gun or grenade launcher can also be pintle mounted on the rear of the vehicle to be operated by a dismount, although not under armor. Due to the weight of 6 power armor suits, the Boardhound shares the same 18 liter V8 diesel engine of the Thornycroft Triceratops tank transporter.<br /> <br /> ==Gallery==<br /> &lt;gallery mode=nolines widths=&quot;400px&quot; heights=&quot;225&quot;&gt;<br /> Boarhound_PIC_W_finished-01.jpg|A schematic and specifications of the Boarhound PIC-W as featured in a [[Bazza&#039;s Sinowatch]] cassette.<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:British military vehicles]]</div>
