Notes: A joint project of Great Britain and Jordan, the Algis is a highly-modified GM K-series or Ford F-450 pickup truck, turned into a light armored personnel carrier which looks like an innocuous and inoffensive SUV (in its basic guise). It is primarily used by Jordan’s counterterrorist team (Squad 14), but may in the future be picked up by Britain’s special ops units as well. It was, in fact, first used by the British in Kosovo, who were giving the vehicles a sort of combat trial, but the results have not been reported and the British MoD will neither confirm nor deny its use in Kosovo. Modifications include (of course) armor, firing ports, bullet-resistant glass, stowage for military equipment and supplies, special seating arrangements, and in one version, an powered extendible assault ladder similar to those on a fire truck (but shorter), which deploys from what is an open bed in that version of the Aigis. The armor is not heavy, but will stop a 7.62mm AP round at 10 meters, or a 20-kilogram plastic explosive burst at 6 meters. The floor is somewhat armored, and can withstand the burst of most antipersonnel mines or grenades. The Aigis has run-flat tires. The vehicle is known as the Aigis by the British and the Al-Jawad by the Jordanians.

The Stirling Tactical Intervention Vehicle is an interesting modification of the Aigis; it has the extendible ladder mentioned above. As an option, it may carry standard foldable ladders. The height to which it may be extended is still classified, but I will use 20 meters for game purposes until I have better information. It may be rotated through at least 180 degrees. The ladder may be removed, and armored side and roof panels substituted, basically turning the Stirling into an armored pickup truck. It can be used as a mobile observation point or to rescue hostages, but its primary role is to deliver an assault team. If necessary, there is room inside for a cage in which a prisoner may be placed.

A third variant of the Aigis is the Guardian, known to be used by the London Metropolitan Police and other undisclosed British police departments. Instead of an SUV-like profile, the Guardian has a large rear box body and additional Kevlar armor panels for the hood. There are two firing ports in each sight with vision blocks, and two in the twin rear doors.
