Buffalo MPCV (RPG Slat Armor)

9,306 YTho  7.0 years ago

My latest collaboration build with @LatteCoffee55. I built the main body and hull while Latte worked on the armor and rear ladder, tweaked the suspension, added the roof lighting, adjusted the spare tires, and mass edited the control arm.

Working suspension and claw, very detailed including rpg slat armor used to protect the occupants.

CONTROLS
1+VTOL, Roll (Ignition/Drive, Steering)
2+Trim (Rotate arm)
2+VTOL (Articulate lower arm)
2+Throttle (Articulate upper arm)
2+Pitch (Claw elevation)

HISTORY
The Buffalo vehicle was designed based on the successful South African Casspir mine-protected vehicle. The Casspir is a four-wheeled vehicle, while the Buffalo has six wheels. Buffalo is also fitted with a large articulated arm, used for ordnance disposal. Both vehicles incorporate a "V" shaped monohull chassis that directs the force of the blast away from the occupants.
Buffalo is also now equipped with BAE Systems' LROD cage armor for additional protection against RPG-7 anti-tank rounds. Glass armor is sufficient at 6 inches thickness. Run-flat tires are mounted on all six wheels. The Buffalo combines ballistic and blast protection with infrared technology to detect the presence of dangerous ordnance and a robotic arm to disable the explosive ordnance. Personnel operate the Buffalo’s 30-foot robotic arm and claw from within the armored hull via a mounted camera and sensory equipment, to safely dispose of mines and IEDs. -Wikipedia
