Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What is the primary role of the Coyote in the Canadian Army?

Answer: Armoured Reconnaissance

The majority of Coyotes in use by the Canadian Army are used in the armoured recon role.

2. What is the secondary role of the Coyote?

Answer: Direct Fire Support

Smaller numbers of Coyotes in the Army are in fact used in Armoured Calvary Squadrons as direct fire support vehicles. Meaning, they use their 25mm chain gun to directly attack the enemy as opposed to the sneaking around of the recon variant.

3. How many people comprise the crew of a Coyote?

Answer: 4

The Coyote has a crew of four: vehicle commander, gunner, driver, and surveillance operator. However if the Coyote is being used as a direct fire support vehicle, the surveillance operator can be omitted.

4. What is the primary armament of the Coyote?

Answer: Stabilized 25mm chain gun

Every Coyote has a M242 stabilized 25mm chain gun, giving the crew much added protection against soft targets and other light armoured vehicles they may encounter.

5. The Coyote's mast-mounted surveillance systems can be raised how high above the ground in order to see longer distances, over obstacles or from a protected position?

Answer: 10 meters

The surveillance system is mounted on a mast so the Coyote can "hide" behind a hill, or in a defended position and observe enemy movements undetected. On the mast there is a ground surveillance radar, thermal imager, a visible spectrum camera, and laser range finder.

6. The Coyote has two remote-surveillance systems on tripods that can be set up how far away from the vehicle?

Answer: 200 meters

The Coyote's remote-surveillance system is mounted on tripods up to 200m from the vehicle. On each tripod there are ground surveillance radars, thermal imagers, a visible spectrum camera, and laser range finder.

7. What sort of threat detection system does the Coyote have?

Answer: Laser range warning receiver

The laser range warning receiver provides the Coyote with 360 degrees of detection on enemies and their targeting systems.

8. The Coyote is protected against Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological (NBC) warefare. True or false?

Answer: True

Every Coyote has a GID-3 chemical detector, ANVWDR 2 Radiation monitor, and a ventilated respirator system. Also, a Coyote can be made completely NBC proof by sealing the vehicle shut in under 10 minutes.

9. What is the top road speed of the Coyote?

Answer: 100 km/h

The average top speed of a Coyote is 100km/h, this speed can vary due to the condition of the vehicle, as well as the condition of the terrain.

10. What is the maximum range of the Coyote? (i.e the maximum distance it can travel before it needs to be refueled)

Answer: 660 km

The Coyote can go for 660km without refueling, a vast improvement over the previous Lynx recon vehicle which only had a max range of 500 km.

11. How many Canadian Coyotes were deployed in Kandahar Afghanistan for the war on terrorism?

Answer: 12

Canada deployed 12 Coyotes in Afghanistan with an Army Battlegroup. The United States requested Canada bring Coyotes to the region because the Coyote was designed for warfare in just such an environment.

12. In addition to Afghanistan, Canada also made widespread use of the Coyote in what other region?

Answer: Former Yugoslavia

The Canadian Battlegroup in the Former Yugoslavia uses the Coyote to police the war torn region. Due to its excellent road speed, long range, and versitile armament, the Coyote is widely used to patrol the entire Canadian Area of Operation in Croatia.

13. How many smoke/fragmentation grenade launchers does the Coyote have?

Answer: 2

The Coyote has 2 launchers with a cluster of 4 tubes per launcher. The crew can use these to launch a smoke screen to cover their retreat, or fire fragmentation grenades to ward off enemy infantry.

Answer: 7

The United States, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands and Italy have all placed orders with GMC Defence for Coyotes.

15. The Coyote is designed to still be able to move even with some of its wheels blown completely off. How many wheels on the SAME side can the Coyote lose yet remain functional?

Answer: 2

The Coyote can lose two wheels on the same side of the vehicle, yet remain combat effective due to a weight stabilization system. Simply put, the two front, rightside wheels can be utterly gone, and the vehicle can still move, albeit much slower.

16. What is the maximum range at which a Coyote's radar can detect a MEDIUM target?

Answer: 12 km

The Coyote's radar can detect and locate medium-sized targets, such as tanks, at a distance of up to 12 km. Large vehicles, such as trains or large trucks, can be detected at up to 24 km.

17. The Coyote's thermal and night imaging systems are designed to locate enemy troops at great distances. In testing, at what range did a Coyote locate enemy infantry with these devices?

Answer: 20 km

During initial system testing at CFB Aldershot a Coyote located, via thermal imaging, a section of Canadian infantry roughly 20 kilometers away.

Answer: 10 meters

Using a combination of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and satellite uplinks, the Coyote can literally "show" the artillery their targets, making it much easier for them to destroy their target in fewer rounds.

19. What is the smallest aircraft that can carry a Coyote?

Answer: CC-130 Hercules

Due to its relatively light weight and compact size, the Coyote can be fitted in a Hercules, along with its crew, supplies and munitions. This makes it possible for the Coyote to be deployed to a battlefield in a matter of hours.

20. What is the maximum gradient a Coyote can climb?

Answer: 60%

The Coyote can climb a gradient of 60%, something no other recon vehicle in the world can do.
