VDS now brings the Articulated Tracked Carrier to the front. The ATC is a solution to the need for a true all-terrain utility vehicle. Granted it is a tracked vehicle, its cross-country capability generally out performs most wheeled vehicles of the same role. The carry capacity is eight to nine men depending on their personal payload and weapons loadout atop the vehicle. The rear trolley can be replaced and then the unit can serve as a mortar platform, communications station, artillery tractor, and things of the like. Overall, it's a small and hardy vehicle fit for the contemporary battlefield.
