Polaris Dagor

Much like its early predecessor, the original Willys jeep, the Polaris Dagor uses off-the-shelf parts, instead of expensive custom-built components. This approach not only drastically reduced the development time – which was just two years, it also keeps costs down and makes the vehicle a lot easier to service out in the field.
To make the Dagor a more usable asset for special forces operations, the vehicle can be transported in a variety of ways. A single Dagor can be carried in a sling load under a UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter, or a pair of them can be carried bumper to bumper internally within a twin-rotor CH-47 Chinook. In addition it’s been engineered to survive being thrown out of the back of a C-130 cargo plane during a Low Velocity Air Drop LVAD, which consists of a 500-foot parachute-slowed drop.
To build the Dagor, Polaris have teamed up with Roush, who are better known for building high-powered Ford Mustangs than military hardware. The Dagor will be built in Michigan at Roush Industries facility near Detroit.
