OCELOT

Ocelot® is a radically different breed. Unlike mine-protected vehicles based on existing commercial chassis, Ocelot® is based on modular flexibility. This imaginative, new from the ground up design, integrates V-hull, blast-protection technology with a demountable protected crew pod that allows multiple configurations for different roles. The modular crew pod is made with light, advanced composite materials that allow Ocelot® to meet and/or exceed UK MoD Light Protected Patrol Vehicle survivability, mobility, payload and gross weight requirements. Developed jointly by Force Protection Europe Limited, the UK subsidiary of the manufacturer of the Mastiff and Ridgback MRAP vehicles, and its partner Ricardo UK Limited, whose whole-vehicle and sub-system design and optimization is successfully deployed in UK MoD programmes such as fire support and Vixen. In essence, the Mastiff and the Land Rover fire support kit have sired an agile prodigy: the Ocelot.® |
