- Amphibious Speed: Up to 5 km/h (3 mph) in water.
- Key Mobility Feature: The articulated steering and all-track power allow it to traverse deep ditches, climb steep slopes (45 degrees), and operate fully loaded across terrain impassable to conventional vehicles due to its low ground pressure.
Protection and Variants
- Protection (Armoured BvS10): Basic hull protection against small-arms fire and artillery fragments (STANAG 4569 Level 2), with optional add-on armor up to Level 4.
- Protection (Beowulf): The Beowulf is the unarmored version, prioritizing payload and lower weight.
