The
Vector Protected Patrol Vehicle (PPV) is built on the chassis of the
Pinzgauer 718 6x6 Utility Vehicle. The PPV was designed to replace
the CAV 100 “Snatch” Land Rover
as they were found to be vulnerable to IED’s attacks by insurgents in The main variant of the Vector is the troop carrier/APC, which can also be easily and quickly modified to a command vehicle or electronic warfare vehicle. The other official variant of the PPV is the Ambulance, of which a very small number(12?) are in service. |
