At the International Defence Exhibition of Abu Dhabi IDEX 2011, the French Defence company ACMAT presents a new version of its light wheeled vehicle ALTV. To meet the needs for the new missions of the military units deployed in the world, ACMAT developed and designed a new version, the ALTV Check-Point, which makes it possible to have a protected vehicle which can ensure control and safety missions of military installation, by guaranteeing a protection for the crew and the soldiers inside the vehicle. Today against the new threats of the battle field, it is not possible any more to use not armoured vehicles, during control and surveillance missions.

The ALTV Check Point is fitted with a 360° circular station, with no roof but with armour plates around the gunner, which give a ballistic protection, Level 2, STANAG NATO 4569. The turret is mounted at the top of the rear armoured container. The turret can be armed with 12.7 mm or 7.62 mm machine gun, and 40 mm grenades launcher.
