While the Belgian Gendarmerie was testing the vehicle, the S600 design was sold to yet another company, this time Australian-based Tenix Defence. After dropping out of this program, international interest led to the sale of 22 vehicles to the Kuwaiti National Guard in 1997. They built a new prototype, known as the Foxhound, which was constructed as a contender in the Australian Bushranger program. Only two prototypes would be produced under their name, as the complete Shorland range of vehicles was sold to British Aerospace Australia (BAe) in 1996. The Shorland S600, based on a Unimog chassis, was the last armored vehicle designed by the Northern-Irish company Short Brothers.
