1. Поларис РЗР (pronounced “razor”) is a sport side-by-side produced by Polaris Industries. When launched in 2007 as a 2008 model, it was officially known as the Ranger RZR, as it was marketed as a sub-model of the larger, work-oriented Ranger. As the RZR gained popularity, Polaris eventually dropped the Ranger designation and positioned the RZR as a stand-alone model.
През септември 2013 г. Командването за специални операции на САЩ, SOCOM, направи поръчка с Polaris Defense за до 1500 машини MRZR-2 (2-местни) и MRZR-4 (4-местни). Голям недостатък на тези нови малки военни превозни средства е, че те запазват оригиналните си бензинови двигатели, които са несъвместими със стандартното военно гориво JP-8. По отношение на логистиката два различни вида горива очевидно не са идеални. Тъй като малко такива машини виждат бойна употреба, а цивилните потребители не се интересуват от работата им на дизел, смяната на двигателя се счита за малко вероятна.

General Characteristics and Role
The Polaris MRZR (pronounced M-R-Z-R) is a series of highly mobile, lightweight tactical all-terrain vehicles developed by Polaris Defense. Based on the commercial RZR side-by-side vehicle, the MRZR is militarized for use by various special operations forces and conventional military units worldwide, including the U.S. Army and U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). The MRZR is designed for maximum transportability; its small size and light weight allow it to be internally transported by helicopters like the CH-47 Chinook or V-22 Osprey. Its primary roles include rapid personnel transport, casualty evacuation (CASEVAC), logistics resupply, and mounting light weaponry. The MRZR comes in several variants, most commonly the two-seat (MRZR 2) and four-seat (MRZR 4).

- Fuel Source: MRZR D uses JP-8, a common military jet fuel, for logistics commonality.
- Key Feature: The fold-down roll cage allows the vehicle to fit inside the cargo area of small, tactical aircraft and helicopters.
Armament and Configuration
- Armament: Does not have fixed armament, but features integrated mounting points for various crew-served weapons.
- Typical Weapons: Can mount 7.62 mm or 12.7 mm (.50 caliber) machine guns, or 40 mm automatic grenade launchers.
