AMV (Armoured Modular Vehicle)

A Finnish 8x8 wheeled armored modular vehicle family accepting turrets from 12.7 mm remote weapon stations up to 120 mm mortar and 105 mm gun systems, exported to more than a dozen countries. It is manufactured under license in several operator nations and forms the basis of Poland's Rosomak and South Africa's Badger programs.

In service since 2004 · 12 operator countries

Full specifications

Performance

Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.

Max speed Maximum level speed. For aircraft this is at optimal altitude; for ground vehicles, top road speed. Higher means faster response and better kinematic performance.: 100 km/h

Stronger than 69% of IFVs
Range Maximum distance: ferry range for aircraft, operational range for vehicles, maximum engagement distance for missiles. Higher means more standoff or persistence.: 600 km

Stronger than 53% of IFVs
Power-to-weight Engine power per tonne of vehicle weight. Higher means better acceleration and cross-country mobility.: 20 hp/t

Stronger than 22% of IFVs

Firepower

Armament, payload and guidance.

Main armament Primary weapon: main gun, cannon or missile type.: Remote weapon station, 12.7-30 mm typical (turret-dependent)
Caliber Bore diameter of the main gun or rifle. Larger throws heavier projectiles; not simply better — ammunition commonality matters.: 30 mm

Protection

Armor, countermeasures and survivability.

Armor Armor technology: composite, modular, ERA-fitted, uranium-ceramic. Exact compositions are classified.: Modular steel and composite armor package
NBC protection Sealed crew compartment with overpressure filtration for nuclear/biological/chemical environments.: Yes

Physical

Dimensions, weight and crew.

Length Overall length including gun/probe where applicable.: 7.7 m
Combat weight Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor.: 26,000 kg
Crew Personnel required to operate. Fewer reduces exposure; autoloaders trade a loader for mechanical complexity.: 3
Troop capacity Number of embarked troops/passengers (IFV, APC, transport). Higher carries more.: 8

Stronger than 62% of IFVs

Propulsion

Engine, power and fuel.

Engine Powerplant model and type.: Scania DI16 diesel
Engine power Engine output power. Higher moves more weight faster.: 483 hp

Stronger than 49% of IFVs

Program

Cost, production scale and operators.

Units built Total production run. Higher means proven manufacturing, mature logistics and spares availability.: 2,000

Stronger than 66% of IFVs
Operator countries Number of countries operating the system. More operators means broader support ecosystem.: 12

Stronger than 86% of IFVs
