Wolf TUM HS 110 FFR Hard Top
British Army Land Rover Wolf TUM HS 110 in the Fitted For Radio hard-top form: a 24-volt installation with a second alternator to run Clansman and later Bowman signals equipment, with snorkel, headlamp guards, side stowage bin and antenna base masts on the hard top.
History
The Wolf (Truck Utility Medium, Heavy Specification) entered British service from 1996–98 as the strengthened military Defender 110 with the 300 Tdi engine. A large share of the fleet was built Fitted For Radio: a 24-volt electrical system with a second alternator and battery box powered the Clansman radios of the day and, from the mid-2000s, the Bowman digital installation. Think Defence's 2022 review of options for replacing the Army's Land Rover fleet pictured the hard-top FFR variant — windowless hard top, snorkel on the left A-pillar, mesh headlamp guards, a stowage bin on the rear body and antenna base mounts along the hard-top side — as the archetypal signals vehicle of the fleet. Production numbers for the FFR hard top specifically are not published.
The registry's model is a Defender 110 hard top in NATO green with the Wolf door mirrors, snorkel, headlamp guards, stowage bin, two antenna base masts, bonnet lettering and black steel wheels.
