In addition, the Spartan troop carrier, Samson repair and recovery, Sultan command post and Samaritan ambulance are also being rehulled.
The upgrades incorporate a range of design changes to the vehicle to improve mine blast protection, improve vehicle maintainability and reduce support costs while minimising weight growth.
The vehicle was previously upgraded to include a new engine, add-on armour and better engine cooling and air filtration to sustain while operating in hot and dusty climates.
