The Ocelot weapons pod variant, which
provides enhanced protection for fire support and special
operations teams, can be integrated easily between missions
to the standard chassis using light lift equipment. It
can be fitted with manned or remote weapon systems using
the standard ring on the WMIK* -like roll cage or a pintle
mount.

The
light protected patrol version LPPV of Ocelot - which will
be entering service with the British Army next year under
the name Foxhound - will also be featured at the event.
Command & Control and utility variants of Ocelot have
also been developed by FPE and the family is now complemented
by the weapons pod vehicle. This modular approach provides
commanders with multiple options from a standard protected
chassis. |
