3. INTRODUCTION
• The LAMV (Light Armoured Multipurpose Vehicle) is a new 4x4
light patrol vehicle developed by India-based TATA Motors Defence
Solutions in collaboration with Supacat of the UK. The vehicle was
unveiled for the first time at the DEFEXPO 2014.
• The vehicle can be deployed in troop transportation, reconnaissance,
border patrol, convoy protection, light strike and urban warfare
missions.

5. DESIGN
• The all-composite detachable crew pod and V-shaped hull is based on 4x4
chassis. The forward crew cab houses two while the troop section offers
seating for four soldiers.
• The rear compartment provides space for carriage of equipment and cargo.
The vehicle also contains a single roof hatch.
• The doors on either sides of the vehicle and a rear door allow the quick
ingress and egress of crew.
• The modular design of the LAMV allows for future upgrades while
maintaining operational superiority during its service life.

7. SYSTEMS
• The driver and commander display systems enable observation
for the crew. The crew pod can be installed with an electro-optic
(EO) system, radio, global positioning system (GPS) and driver
assistance camera.
• The vehicle also integrates a navigation unit including a GPS and
an inertial positioning system in the absence of GPS signals.
• The LAMV can be equipped with charge-coupled device (CCD)
cameras, thermal imaging systems and laser range finder (LRF).

9. ARMAMENT
• The open-top turret above the crew compartment of the LAMV
is mounted with a 7.62mm or 12.7mm machine gun.
• The vehicle can also be optionally armed with a range of weapon
stations and smoke grenade launchers.
• The turret is manually rotated through 360° in azimuth.
• The sides and forward parts of the turret offer NIJ level III
ballistic protection for the gunner.

11. FEATURES
• The LAMV incorporates crew protection technologies derived from the
Supacat Protected Vehicle 400 (SPV400).
• The crew is protected against small arms fire, shell splinters and explosives.
The monocoque composite material pod mounted on high hardness steel
bottom V hull provides a high degree of blast protection.
• The crew capsule is built using composite and ceramic armour systems to
offer all-around protection in high threat environments.
