OUTSTANDING AIR TRANSPORTABILITY

The ATCs can be carried in many tactical air transports: inside a CH-47 Chinook or slung under other medium-heavy helicopters.

They can also be broken into their two component sections and loaded onto or slung beneath many helicopter types, due to their low height, width, and weight.

TRUE ALL-TERRAIN CAPABILITY

These vehicles are designed to operate in conditions ranging from the heat and humidity of the jungle to the dry desert and the frozen Arctic, and have done so.

Their low weight and extra-wide tracked distribution make even snow and marshy ground passable.

They can even be resistant to anti-tank mines because of their low ground pressure.

They can also be made fully amphibious quickly.

SPECIALISED VARIANTS

This family of vehicles also has variants with cranes for load handling and recovery, ammunition re-supply, ambulance functions, deployable command posts, mortar carrier versions, and even artillery-hunting radar.

INFANTRY ENHANCEMENT

The ATC family of vehicles offers instant air-portable infantry mobility with small arms protection.

It has additional carrying capacity over all terrains to reduce soldiers' burdens. It can be a force to be reckoned with, with mounted medium to heavy machine guns, grenade launchers, anti-armour missiles and mortars.

ATCs are not designed for major combat, and are not substitutes for fullsized armoured personnel carriers (APCs).

But what they do is bring a combination of APC and Jeep benefits to a more mobile, all-terrain platform capable of thirddimension envelopment and rapid ground response into the most difficult terrain.
