SUPER LIGHT TRACKED VEHICLE

MEERKAT - Super Light Tracked Vehicle is a modern upgrade for the CVR(T) platform. MEERKAT is a concept demonstrator designed to showcase OVIK's ability to supply spares and repair / upgrade CVR(T) platforms.

MEERKAT brings CVR(T) into the 21st Century with new Cummins 6.7 litre ISB engine, David Brown TN15E+ Transmission (ALISON fully automatic transmission soon to be available) , STORMER final drives and fully re-fitted canbus electronic architecture. The original light tank turret has been removed and the driver moved from his original and vulnerable position - forward over the tracks - to a position inside the fully protected main hull of the vehicle.

The crew is now reduced to 2 men - cutting the casualty risk by 33%. Driver and commander operate the vehicle from a conventional side-by-side configuation with optional rear seating for additional crew / troops / pax or indeed to accommodate stretchers or command equipment etc.

The vehicle features a fully modular - plug-and-play weapons cassette - allowing weapons re-role across a range of calibres and missile systems in minutes - rather than hours.
