Flyer Tactical Vehicles are highly mobile, fully modular, internal and external air transport compliant, military grade, mission ready all terrain vehicles with regenerating tires. Built for speed, mobility, and manueverability in all weather conditions. The wheeled Flyer allows operators to access previously denied terrain in demanding environments. The vehicles can be reconfigured to support multiple crew and mission profiles, from three to nine operators with full payload (3200kg) and mission profile kits. The Flyer can be 'guns up' in under a minute after exiting transport, and can carry a variety of armaments. Its adaptable communication suite provides increased operating range and provides the operator real-time access to critical information. The Flyer can attain a maximum speed of 153kph and has a cruising range of 805km at 65kph on flat ground. The Flyer has a turning radius of 5.48m, while the maximum gradient and dynamic side slopes are 60% and 40% respectively. The vehicle can cross a vertical step of 35cm and can ford a depth of 76cm without preparation. The vehicle is equipped with a ring mount weapon system providing 360-degree coverage for the 12.7mm machine gun and/or the 40mm grenade launcher from the turret mounted over the center of the vehicle and the swivel stations armed with either 5.56mm or 7.62mm machine guns on each of the four door frames.
