Navistar’s new Saratoga light tactical armoured vehicle has been designed for superior survivability, mobility and transportability

Navistar Defense has unveiled its Saratoga light tactical vehicle at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) annual meeting and symposium. The company designed the vehicle for superior survivability, mobility and transportability to target the gap between the current high mobility multi-purpose wheeled vehicle (HMMWV) modernised expanded capacity vehicle (MECV) and joint light tactical vehicle (JLTV) programmes. The vehicle is ready for production to meet today’s mission needs.

The Saratoga light tactical vehicle has a high degree of commonality with fielded vehicles and incorporates Navistar’s automotive and manufacturing expertise. The company has also designed and tested its own proprietary geometry survivability solution for the vehicle. Considering the material mix, vehicle structure and hull shape, the Saratoga offers a more survivable solution for the light tactical vehicle class while also meeting 76 transportability height.
