Developed by Force Protection Europe and Ricardo, the Ocelot vehicles provide enhanced survivability comparable to the Cougar family of mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles.
Ocelot has performed to the set standards during blast, ballistic, automotive and manoeuvrability tests conducted since mid 2009.
The vehicle provides enhanced cross-country mobility and flexibility and can be repaired quickly in the field, minimising maintenance costs.
The Ocelot features a armoured V-shaped hull and role-specific pods. It can be reconfigured to undergo a wide range of missions including patrol, fire support and protected logistics.
