Plasan expands the Sandcat family with the introduction of the 4 GEN Sandcat. The new generation of the vehicle uses a modular design that enabled Plasan to configure the vehicle for different requirements and tailor the protection suite to meet higher threat levels. The first variant to be introduced under the new generation is the blast protected Sandcat that utilizes a monocoque hull, that eliminates the need for the traditional frame. The use of a monocoque hull enabled designers to improve the vehicle’s blast protection while retaining the overall vehicle’s weight below nine tons.https://defense-update.com/20180604_sandcat-4g.html
