Success Story of Armored Multitask Vehicle Design
Success Story of Armored Multitask Vehicle Design
In this study; an armored vehicle design including whole process from preliminary studies to armor design is presented in order of defining requirements depending on the multitasking performance, selecting armor threats for different parts of the fuselage, preliminary design stages for different arrangements, procurement phases and performance tests. Ballistic evaluation of main areas depending on the vulnerability capabilities are studied by means of no add-on protection for personnel is necessary excluding outer gunners. Compact arrangement enabling personnel transfer, carrying attached heavy weapons or suitable for mission modules is possible by design flexibility. Additionally, pictures and drawings are attached to show this innovative design.
