The 4×4 second-generation ILAVs feature a v-shaped hull designed to protect passengers and key vehicle components from mines and roadside bombs.
BAE Systems will manufacture the vehicles in collaboration with Force Protection and Spartan Chassis.
ILAVs come in three variants including the basic ILAV troop carrier, a configuration for route clearance and an explosive ordnance disposal configuration.
