Technical
and Historical Notes |
The
Type 74 Hover Truck was a support vehicle assigned to Federation
Forces ground combat units to provide them with battlefield intelligence
when radar was rendered ineffective due to Minovsky particle broadcast.
Utilizing an advanced passive ground sonar suite to identify targets
at long range, the Hover Truck was also equipped with a powerful
communications system to penetrate low levels of Minovsky jamming.
The Hover Truck was also designed with an open cargo bed for the
transportation of supplies. For defense, the Hover Truck was armed
with a single 20mm vulcan gun mounted on the turret, primarily
for anti-aircraft defense. The standard ground mobile suit team
consisted of three mobile suits and a Hover Truck, and these units
were deployed all across the world from Asia's Kojima Battalion
to the White Dingo team in Australia.
