Bushmaster Copperhead armoured combat support vehicle
Thales Group - Australia
General information
The Bushmaster Copperhead is the latest addition to the Bushmaster
Family of Vehicles (FOV), and uses the same single shell V-shaped hull
to provide protection against mine blast and improvised explosive
devices (IED).
This technology is enhanced by upgradeable ballistic protection
options to the crew cabin and a protection system already
operationally proven in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Copperhead is an
armoured combat support vehicle and, is the newest addition to the
Bushmaster FOV. The cab chassis 4 x 4 logistic vehicles variant is
designed to meet the ever growing operational requirements for
protected mobility of not only the crew but also the cargo. It can carry
loads up to 4,000kg while still offering the mobility and protection
of the Bushmaster FOV.
