Although armoured, the Ferret Scout Car was never intended to face enemy heavy armour,
relying on its low profile, speed and stealth to make contact with enemy units, some of
which were engaged in similar reconnaissance roles. Creeping into contested territory,
the Ferret was built for sniffing out the enemy, but not to cause trouble in an offensive sense.
Their role was to send real-time radio reports back to HQ and, should their scouting take
them out of radio range, to utilise a second HQ Ferret to relay messages back. They
provided military planners with information and, if detected, the Ferret would extricate
the crew away from any combat situation at speed.
As long as they were only targeted by small arms fire, they would have adequate protection
until their driver could get them out of harm’s way, speeding back towards more friendly
territory.
