Type-40 Armored Personnel Carrier-Hover "Caribou"

This armored vehicle was commissioned by the Sahale Federation Military to replace their aging fleet of Infantry Fighting Vehicles. Designed by the Flagg Institute's Military engineering branch, the Type-40 APC-H offers a highly mobile solution for the modern battlefield.

Appearance and Equipment
The vehicle at its longest is 7 meters by 3 meters wide and 3 meters tall. As it is a hovercraft, six G-Engines come off the bottom of the vehicle at 45 degree angles. These G-Engines are what give the Caribou its incredible combat agility. It is capable of outmaneuvering just about anything on the battlefield while still maintaining decent durability. The most unique thing about the vehicle is its ability to "jump" up to 70 meters off the ground at full combat load by temporarily overclocking the G-Engines. Naturally, it is capable of landing without suffering any sort of damage.

Defensively, the one-piece hull is made from Flagg's proprietary Nanosteel which grants an astounding strength-to-weight ratio for the vehicle. This hull is covered in plates of ablative armor which further enhances the vehicle's defenses. Non-newtonian fluid placed between the ablative plating and hull only further add to the Caribou's toughness. Along the hull are a series of miniature flak launchers. These launchers fire small pellets of either white phosphorus or fire dust to spoof heatseekers, defend against infantry or inbound missiles.

Offensively, the vehicle has two weapon hardpoints and is commonly armed with a Heavy twin-barrel Kondracki-Meija Integrator laser turret. Three times the power of the infanty grade, the twin KMI allows the Caribou to go toe-to-toe with most other IFVs on the market. Using a CATSAI powered auto-targeting system, it can be used as an Active Protection System. The rear hardpoint is factory equipped with a smart mortar. A Leighly-Braun Manifold 3D-prints warheads and plugs them onto the guidance systems, making an incredibly accurate artillery weapon.

The troop compartment holds 8 soldiers and 2 crew. Firing ports exist along the side of the vehicle for the passengers.
