The MUV fills the gap between the existing HMT and ATMP products, with a 3.5T payload providing an exceptional general utility vehicle for off road and littoral operations. Continuing Supacat’s design heritage, the Supacat Medium Utility Vehicle (MUV) provides exceptional mobility with a high payload and a flexible load bed to provide utility capability across the board. In addition, the MUV maximises the use of automotive COTS componentry to provide an affordable acquisition offering, while at the same time ensuring the supportability of the platform in almost an operating area in the region. The MUV can be easily re-rolled in response to emerging technologies and equipped for very high readiness defence forces. During Landforces, the Supacat MUV is equipped with leading defence technology solutions and mission systems to showcase the adaptability and versatility of the platform, offering an affordable high-mobility platform that is operationally ready and can be seamlessly maintained by regional defence forces.
Matt Grech, Supacat Head of Future Business, said, “The MUV continues the inheritance of Supacat products by combining high mobility and high payload with liberating modularity. We believe the MUV will find favour with regional forces seeking to maximise capability while being able to support the product locally from existing resources and infrastructure.”
The Medium Utility Vehicle (MUV) expands Supacat’s range of high-mobility, high-payload platforms with liberating modularity. Offering a true “fly and drive” capability, the MUVs low weight and open architecture enables tactical loading and rapid reconfiguration. With a 6.5T GVM and a 3T payload, the MUVs 6×6 drive is the key to providing Supacat’s world renowned mobility, resulting in a platform that outperforms in terms of terrain access, mission duration and comfort. Vehicle availability and reliability are enhanced by maximising the use of COTS parts within the driveline, meaning that parts availability and serviceability is robust in almost any operational theatre. The MUV is truly an affordable option throughout the life cycle.
