The modular and highly protected body design of RABDAN 6x6 provides a multi-purpose platform that enables seamless integration of various types of mission equipment and weapon systems which meet the needs of modern armies in combat and peace keeping operations.

Rabdan means strength, courage, and fearlessness, and reflects the UAE's interests in thoroughbreds. The Rabd horse is one of the most famous Arabian horses. Rabd is the plural of the feminine noun (Rabdaa) and the masculine noun (Arbad). It is derived from the word (Rabda) which means a dusty black color. The horses were named with this word because the first person to own a horse from this bloodline chased an ostrich while riding on its back and caught it. The ostrich was described as rabdaa with this mixed black color, which can be found on many horses. Hence, they are described as Rabda horses.

The Rabd horses are from the Kuheilat bloodline. The singular of this word is kuheila, and it is one of the oldest, inveterate, purebred and honorable Arabian horses. The Rabdan bloodline continues to be one of the most famous Arab horse pedigrees in the world renowned for their speed and success at winning races. There are many poems that described the qualities which make them and their bloodline the best Arabian horses known in the region. In the light of the above, the name of Rabdan was chosen to be the official name.
