Caiman 6x6
FMTV Multi-Role Protected Vehicle
Based on the ultra-reliable Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) platform and the combat-proven Low Signature Armored Cab (LSAC), the Caiman incorporates the demonstrated performance of these components into a survivable, protected vehicle designed to defeat current and emerging threats on today’s battlefield. Thanks to the Caiman’s modular design, appliqué or EFP protection can be added or removed depending on the threat level of the operating environment.
Also adding to the vehicle’s versatility is the ability to add seats, tables, storage cabinets, CASEVAC provisions and other items. In addition, the Caiman is the only vehicle of its kind to feature both run-flat tires and an Electronic Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS). The high level of parts commonality with the FMTV ensures that the Caiman will maintain the same levels of readiness, mobility, serviceability, and worldwide support as the 53,000 FMTVs already fielded.
