National Defence Systems MMLARV LT-19

National Defence Systems (NDS) is a military arms and vehicles producer based on Southern Australia. Since 1977, NDS produces heavy arms, light military vehicles and specialist vehicles for the Australian Army and New Zealand Army, as well as providing military equipment to many other armed forces around the world.

Designed as the successor to the legendary MMLARV (Military Multipurpose Light Armoured Recon Vehicle) LT-02, the LT-19 is the next generation of specialized light military vehicles. Redesigned from the ground up, the LT-19 features more advanced features and an all-new pickup design.

With an all-new layout, improved performance, stronger protection against dangers and dependable reliability, the MMLARV is much lighter, faster and more durable than it’s predecessors.

All models of the LT-02 have already started production in early 2018, but deliveries of the vehicles will not start until September 2018.

Considering the box van body has been released, is that considered banned as well?

Update: PMI Merkur is conducting early testing for its newest defense market product.

Yes, I’ll add that into the banned mod list

Arion Hercules LAV '19

Released in 2019, the Arion Hercules LAV was an extremely surprising one, coming from a premium manufacturer like Arion.

The Hercules is a Light Armoured Vehicle, weighing only just over 2000kg, which makes it quite fast on all terrains. It sports an interesting 4.0L Inline 6 Turbo, that has a very silent exhaust system, and enough muscle to make it off-road effectively, pull extra weapons and equipment in the back, or on tow which is also thanks to it’s 4x4 system and manual lockable differentials.

Despite it’s light weight, the Hercules LAV is armed to the teeth; bulletproof windows, mounted 360 degree turret, ramming bumpers, heat-seeking cameras, and enough storage for thousands of weapons and ammo.

Armament Research Group ATLR MRAP

Armament Research Group’s All-Terrain Light Reconnaissance is the latest Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle to be developed by the company. The ATLR platform is the perfect replacement for light scout cars and smaller troop carriers. Combining the light and nimble agility of a truck with the all-round protection of an APC, the ATLR can fulfill multiple roles. The roof mount can fit a wide variety of turrets, from an unmanned 50.cal to a 40mm automatic grenade launcher to a TOW mount.

As for protection, all windows are made from bulletproof glass and are rated to withstand multiple 50.cal rounds. The ATLR is armoured in face-hardened steel with some composite plating and also features a V-shaped hull for added mine protection. The doors can also be swapped out for thicker, more heavily armoured variants. Additional mounts for ERA plates and cage armour can also be fitted all round.

Under the hood sits a Nohda Heavy Industries MFTS 4.6L inline 5. A reliable engine, the NHI MFTS is capable of taking fire from a 7.62mm NATO to the fuel/oil/coolant system and will continue to run for at least a kilometer. The MFTS can also be converted to work as a multifuel system. Connected to it, is a 6-speed automatic gearbox, making driving the ATLR a more simple affair. Paired with manual locking 4WD, the ATLR can also traverse any terrain.

Just over 3.5 days left before entries close.

if you’re thinking of entering and haven’t, I’d get started now

Just over 24 hours left, dunno if I’ll get any more entries.

Suisei AMC has presented the Lowe Ryu, the LAV that has the latest technology and chassis and frame work construction with forged plating for its defensive layer then conventional bolts. The vehicle poses attachablle metal rail guards to limiting the effectiveness, to a degree, to RPGs and HEAT warheads. The vehicle was designed to be a modular vehicle capable of having many different weapon platforms but notable for its dual 20mm Vulcan gatlling gun.

The LAV poses reinforced bull bars and both sides. These are removable and attachable which provides extra protection and utility. It limits the effectiveness of rams (from enemy vehicles) and gives the vehicle better clearance ability to push rubble without damaging vital parts i.e. the headlights at moderate ramming speeds.

With its reinforced windows with bars for extra protection the vehicle allows the crew to survive in CQB situations and to prevent unnecessary lose of life as well as specialized door hinges to prevent any lose bolts due to wear or during combat as it is exposed and easy to remove if done correctly making the doors valuable targets for sneaky insurgents or enemy troops.

The rear has two narrow ladders to allow quick access to the top with its ability to fold up to give clearance to the heavy rear door. The doors are bared up to decrease HEAT ammunition as stated previously and to reinforce the rear.

The LAV also has narrow metal plates to reduce the effectiveness of mines at the side of the vehicle. We give an extra step in consideration to make this a multi purpose vehicle for the military and any situation or field of duty.

With an reliable 10L V8, due to it’s simplistic design, producing 701NM at 3300RPM and 389kW at 5900 RPM.The engine is also surprisingly quiet contradictory to the engine size and power to all 4 wheels with a 4x4 system and manual lockers.

State of Defence

25km east of the Gasmea-Archana Border - 0830 - August 17 2018

General Franks and R&D Director James Lucas stood on a bank, the five Concepts below them.

He beckoned Lucas towards the First concept, the Arion Hercules LAV.

Arion Hercules LAV

@Aruna

  • Highest Offroad and Practicality in Class
  • Relatively Inexpensive to purchase
  • Relatively cheap to maintain
  • Relatively High Towing and Load Capacities
  • Middle of the Road Reliability

Cons

  • Relatively Difficult to Drive

After they were noted, they moved on to the next car, the LT-19

After that severe disappointment, they moved on to the ARG-ATLR

AGR-ALTR MRAP

@Dorifto_Dorito

  • Highest in Class ease of Driving
  • Relatively High Practicality
  • Cheapest Purchase Price in Class
  • Middle of the road Offroad, Service Cost, and Utility

Once the ALTR was looked over, they broke for lunch, then returned to the Merkur Mu-94 BREM

  • Relatively High Safety and Offroad
  • Middle of the Road Ease of Driving and Practicality

Cons

With all the designs looked over, the General left Lucas to make the decision on what vehicle the Gasmean Military will use in the future.


50km into Archana, 3rd Gasmean-Archanan Conflict, September 27th 2021 - 0030

“Hunter Actual, this is Hunter 2-1, we’re preparing to move in formation.”

“Copy Hunter 2-1, You are cleared to advance. Godspeed.”

5 AGR-ALTR’s began to move under the cover of darkness toward an Archanan FOB, their inline 5’s barely audible as they moved.

They barely knew what hit them. From the trees, the 5 ALTR’s barreled forward. Damage was minimal, all hostiles were pacified or eliminated. The FOB had been secured.

The ALTR’s were game changing for the Gasmean military for this conflict. They were able to claim territory with minimal losses to their advanced squads and even in their support companies. The victory was swift, in strong part to a well chosen LAV.


Congratulations to Dorifto_Dorito for their Win

In Second Place comes Private_Miros

and Third and rounding out the Podium comes Aruna.

Thank you @Fayeding_Spray for a great competition. It learned me a lot about design techniques. It was the first time I made a car with this many fixtures, yet managed to keep the general appearance this clean (imo, compared to some others).
