Able to fulfil a multitude of tasks for the armed forces, it offers a common vehicle base with various role modules to meet the needs of different missions across evolving theatres of operation.

It builds upon the characteristics, performance, and core architecture of the iconic military Land Rover whilst applying Babcock’s engineering expertise and the latest technology.  It will deliver reliable, mission readiness, anywhere.

Chris Spicer, Managing Director of Engineering and Systems Integration at Babcock said: “We are confident that this vehicle meets the requirements of military and security forces across the world.  

"By applying engineering excellence and the latest technology, we can provide our partners with the systems they need to complete their mission.”
