1. 1. EXV-1 ULTRA-LIGHT STEALTH UTILITY VEHICLE (SUV) OF USA
2. 2. INTRODUCTION The eXV-1 is a highly maneuverable and transportable state-of-the-art, 4x4 ultra-light mission vehicle that was designed and developed by MILSPRAY for special operating forces. The vehicle offers enhanced endurance parameters, increased protection and enemy detection avoidance capabilities. The MILSPRAY eXV-1 is operationally configured for C-130, V-22 and CH- 47 aircraft and is air droppable. MILSPRAY will introduce the eXV-1 to the international market place at the International Armoured Vehicle (IAV) conference and exhibition to be held in London between 26 and 29 January 2015. MILSPRAY engineers have already presented briefings and information to the US and international military forces.
3. 3. DESIGN The eXV-1 is protected by a lightweight, laboratory and field-tested composite armour. The vehicle accommodates four personnel with full equipment and offers ballistic protection for critical components and occupants. The vehicle can be configured as a two-person utility cargo vehicle. Customers can also configure the vehicle according to their mission-specific requirements.
4. 4. BALLISTIC PROTECTION The exterior of the vehicle is coated with MILSPRAY's proprietary Tough Coat. Tough Coat is a lightweight, anti-corrosive coating system that provides protection from corrosion, scratches and other deteriorations. The coating system ensures a chemically bonded integration of chemical agent resistant coatings (CARC) offering ocular camouflage, while reducing infrared (IR) signature. This innovative solution avoids detection under visual and IR surveillance.
5. 5. ARMAMENT The eXV-1 is currently fitted with an overhead weapons mount and one swing-arm universal weapons mount. The weapon mounts can be fitted for mission-specific operations weapon systems and can be outfitted with additional weapon mounts. The independently tested level UL-7 composite armour protects the crew against small arms fire. The dual-purpose blast mitigating skid plate under the hull safeguards the vehicle and its occupants from ground level threats. The eXV-1 contains blast and ballistic resistant technology that was derived from MILSPRAY's development efforts with the Army Research Laboratory (ARL).
6. 6. ENGINE The vehicle is powered by 160kW peak power electric motor coupled with high-performance lithium-polymer batteries. The batteries are externally rechargeable with 120V AC (15A) or 240V AC (30A) outlet. The electric drive propulsion generates lower acoustic and thermal signatures than an internal combustion engine, which vastly reduces the signature of the vehicle while providing a greater level of security to the occupants. The vehicle offers a range of 483km (300 miles) comprised a 50-mile, all- electric range provided by the batteries and an additional 250 miles of diesel or JP-8 jet fuel range extension.
7. 7. MOBILITY The eXV-1 has a maximum speed of 96.5km/h (60mph) and elevation operating range of up to 10,000ft. It is fitted with four 26in run-flat bead-lock tires. An adjustable double-A arm independent suspension on all the four wheels ensures a ground clearance of 10in and mobility on the most demanding terrains. The vehicle also features fording capability for operations over water bodies and can be fitted with infrared lights for night driving.
