Textron Systems Tactical Armoured Patrol Vehicle (TAPV) is a 4x4 wheeled
armoured vehicle specifically engineered and designed to provide
survivability, mobility and versatility across the asymmetric battlefield
over the full spectrum of operations.
The comprehensive, modern design is aimed at shielding troops from
roadside bombs and blasts while providing large power reserves for
future electronics enhancements, with an ergonomically designed interior
for optimum comfort and payload. The vehicle has been tested
extensively to confirm ballistic, blast, mobility and reliability levels
that meet or exceed the Canadian TAPV requirements.
Textron Systems’ TAPV offers off-road and urban maneuverability,
allowing it to serve in both offensive and defensive capacities. The
vehicle is designed with a focus on ergonomics and interior layout
options for multiple mission capabilities.
This allows configuration for patrol, convoy protection, command and
control, utility, mortar carrier, ambulance or personnel carrier
missions. Further, given its mobility, the vehicle is an exponentially
more difficult target for insurgents emplacing improvised explosive
devices (IEDs) along roadways.
With a focus on crew protection, mobility, performance and payload,
Textron Systems’ TAPV is the game-changing solution for Canada’s
national security requirements for the next 25 years.
