The medium utility vehicle (MUV) fills the gap between the existing High Mobility Transporter and All Terrain Mobile Platform vehicles, with a 3.5-tonne payload providing an exceptional general utility vehicle for off-road and littoral operations, according to a public statement from the company.
The Supacat Medium Utility Vehicle is expected to provide improved mobility with a high payload and a flexible load bed for diverse utility capability.
“The MUV continues the inheritance of Supacat products by combining high mobility and high payload with liberating modularity,” Supacat head of future business Matt Grech said.
“We believe the MUV will find favour with regional forces seeking to maximise capability while being able to support the product locally from existing resources and infrastructure.”
In addition, the MUV makes use of automotive COTS componentry to provide an affordable acquisition offering, while at the same time ensuring the supportability of the platform in almost an operating area in the region, according to the company.
The MUV is expected to be able to move role easily in response to emerging technologies and equipped for high readiness defence forces.
The Supacat MUV, which was displayed during Land Forces 2024, is equipped with leading defence technology solutions and mission systems to showcase the adaptability and versatility of the platform, offering an affordable high-mobility platform that is operationally ready and can be seamlessly maintained by regional defence forces.
