General

Stemming from an early 1960s West German Army staff requirement, the MAN Category 1 (KAT 1) is a family of 4x4, 6x6, and 8x8 heavy utility trucks. Entering service with the West German armed forces in 1976, and with more than 14,000 units produced since, the platform has proven highly capable and adaptable. The modeled version is the type 464 8x8 LKW 10t mil gl KAT 1 equipped with a middle bed mounted 1-ton material handling crane. Eventually, the majority of KAT 1 trucks will be replaced in general service by the MAN SX series.

This vehicle is fully modeled, and although normally unarmed, it may be equipped with a ring mounted 7.62mm MG3 machine gun, or either the Lemur, or Kongsberg Protector remote weapons' stations.

In the simulation this vehicle provides ammunition resupply services to the armed vehicles and missile/HMG teams represented in Steel Beasts Professional. The vehicle may be made available to both Blue and Red forces. The MAN KAT 1 vehicle will only resupply units of its own side. Thus a Blue KAT 1 truck cannot be used by a Red armed vehicle or infantry unit.

Resupply of ammunition can be accomplished by moving the unit which requires resupply close to the vehicle and then waiting. Resupply will automatically commence within a couple of minutes. Note that full resupply may take some time.
