Historical Background:

Although armored, the Ferret Scout Car was never intended to face enemy heavy armor, relying instead on its low profile, speed, and stealth to make contact with enemy units 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 headquarters and, should their scouting take them out of radio range, to utilize a second headquarters Ferret to relay messages back. They provided military planners with vital intelligence 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.
