SUPACAT Introduces the SPV400 Light Armored Vehicle

The all-terrain vehicle producer Supacat launched the new light armored vehicle  Supacat Protected Vehicle (SPV400) this week at the Long Valley Test Ground in Aldershot, UK. The new vehicle is one of the contenders for the UK Ministry of Defence’s (MoD)  Light Protected Patrol Vehicle (LPPV) program. MoD is planning to order the LPPV under an Urgent Operational Requirement (UOR) to replace the unprotected Land Rover Snatch patrol vehicles. The selection of the supplier and order for an initial batch of 200 vehicles is expected soon, the LPPV is intended to enter service in early 2011. (more...)

The  SPV400 is an all-British vehicle designed to retain good mobility when adequately protected from the common IED threats currently encountered in the Afghan theater. It combines an integrated blast and ballistic protection system, including an all composite protected crew capsule (pod) and V-shaped hull. The vehicle retains the exceptional cross country mobility characteristic of all Supacat platforms, and the agility to maneuver in tight urban environments.

"The SPV400 is purpose designed for LPPV" said Nick Ames, Managing Director of Supacat Ltd. "Its clean sheet design is `future-proofed` and can be upgraded to exceed the present LPPV requirements for protection and mobility”.
