Conduct urban operations and security missions with a totally new vehicle capability.

Get the SandCatTM protected multi-role.

This high-speed, highly-protected, highly-maneuverable vehicle can be specifically designed for a wide variety of roles. It can be reconfigured to fit a wide variety of missions: military, homeland defense, global war on terror, law enforcement and security, special operations, disaster aid and peace-keeping missions. All while meeting the rigorous demands needed for state-of-the-art crew and vehicle protection, reliability, versatility, payload capacity and affordability.

The SandCat multi-role vehicle concept, with use of a commercial chassis and kitted hull, allows for rapid and efficient manufacture.

It also enables customization of the survivability technologies to fit the mission.

Adaptations can be made based on the relevant threat levels and enhanced on demand while optimizing the vehicle for weight, space, payload, cost and assembly.

The SandCat protected multi-role vehicle – a new concept to meet the protection, performance, payload equation.

Complete Performance

With vast experience and capabilities in military tactical wheeled vehicle design and engineering, vehicle that maximizes performance and payload.

Operational and tactical features include:

• Expanded field of vision

• 2946 mm (116 in.) wheelbase

• High approach angle (38°)

• High departure angle (30°)

• 6 m (19.7 ft.) turning radius

• 330 mm (13 in.) ground clearance

• Maximum governed speed

of 120 kph (74.6 mph)

• Exceptional stability on longitudinal and transverse slopes

• Optimal armored compartment design

Payload

The SandCat vehicle has substantially more payload capacity than any vehicle of its type.

The armor is integrated into the vehicle design – precisely planned and engineered for optimal protection at a lesser weight, which allows for more payload capacity.

The SandCat vehicle also has a lighter footprint than vehicles of similar size and survivability level. So you can move quicker and carry more crew and equipment, but still give them the best protection possible.

Whatever the requirements of the mission. Whatever the needs of the vehicle, a SandCat protected multi-role vehicle that does the job.

Maximum protection for any mission

Different missions call for different levels of protection.

The SandCatTM vehicle variants – Utility and Transport – provide baseline protection, a

Whether minimal protection is needed for disaster relief or maximum protection is needed for troops in combat, SandCat can be configured to accommodate.

Get both the performance and protection you need to fulfill your mission.

Crew protection is paramount. Decreasing vulnerability, reducing casualties, and increasing survivability is the foundation on which this vehicle is built. So the SandCat vehicle has an Integrated Survivability System.

Every technology within this system is an independent layer that provides certain core attributes essential for survival. By super-imposing the various technologies, and interlocking them as a complete and integral unit, the highest level of survivability is achieved.

Blast management technology is specifically designed to minimize penetration, overmatch and blast overpressure effects through absorption and deflection. It incorporates a v-shaped belly deflector, impact-absorbing seats, advanced suppression systems and composite materials.

The belly deflector is a high-energy absorbing structure which provides protection against mines, buried charges and underside shrapnel that the vehicle may encounter.

An armored v-shaped hull accepts the impact of the mine blast and moves the energy outward.

Tested extensively, the collapsible seat base design is an integral component in the blast management system.

Fire Suppression System (FSS)

The SandCatTM vehicle can be equipped with sophisticated fire suppression systems that provide immediate response to all forms of hazardous combustion. Fire suppression is located inside the engine compartment, roof, floor and wheel arches. A number of systems are available for various applications.
