Articulated All-Terrain Vehicle is a twin cabin, tracked, amphibious carrier for off-road mobility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The special design of this vehicle exerts low ground pressure on the soil and a pull-push mode of locomotion between two cabins facilitates mobility over varied terrains like snow, desert and slush.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A ballistic protection in the cabin body ensures protection to troops travelling in it from small arms fire.<\/span><\/p>\n

Where can these vehicles be used?<\/b><\/h5>\n

These vehicles are very useful to move troops or supplies in snow-bound terrains and in marshy\/sandy environments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They can be very effective for patrolling and rapid deployment in operational situations.<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, the Indian Army wishes to use these vehicles in the snow-bound areas of Ladakh and in the marshy terrain of the Rann of Kutch.<\/span><\/p>\n

Who manufactures such vehicles?<\/b><\/h5>\n

There are several Western manufacturers of Articulated All-Terrain Vehicles including Canada and Finland.<\/span><\/p>\n
