UOP director general Roman Romanov said: "The Marine & Land Systems SCTV will provide significant improvement to performance and durability for Ukrainian High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV), as well as enhancing crew protection.
"More specifically, the SCTV will provide a strengthened chassis and improved anti-mine and ballistic protection similar to that of mine-resistant ambush protected (MRAP) protection, which is designed specifically to withstand improvised explosive device attacks and ambushes."
The SCTV features a V-shaped, fully armoured monocoque hull, and is designed to provide high levels of protection to soldiers.
It is capable of dealing with asymmetric battlefield threats, and carrying out fire support, command and control, reconnaissance, engineer support and troop transport missions.
