After the success of the military support module, we extended our scope to examine the vehicle itself. Pulling together experience from many fronts, a new concept was created to meet the requirements of the Australian Defence Forces tender for 1200 new light tactical vehicles (LAND 121 Phase 4).

The concept was to create a vehicle that had interchangeable modules on the rear e.g. troop carrier, medical, supply vehicle etc. 

Previous work with defence organisations dealing in the area of blast protection meant the engineering was also solid and thought out. The engineering of the underbody worked with the physics of the blast; deflecting and absorbing the majority of the energy.

Unfortunately, extremely long delays (many years) associated with this government tender meant that the design never saw it past the concept stage.
