UniAIMOV also known as just AIMOV is a Light Armored vehicle based on the Land Rover Defender chassis developed and manufactured by the Sri Lanka Electrical and Mechanical Engineers.[1]

Design

[edit]

AIMOV is a 4x4 light armored High-Mobility/Forward Command vehicle built on Land Rover chassis with seating for 5 including driver and operator. External racks have been added for 4-8 men to easily hang on to the vehicle during emergency exfiltration. It is protected from land mines and hand grenades. It is equipped with Run-flat tire, greater shielding on vital components such as engines and transmission, design that reduces crew fatigue, day-night cameras that provide 360 degree vision, VHF base station and can launch & operate short ranged drones for aerial surveillance. It is fully air conditioned for crew comfort. [1][2]

The vehicle was designed mainly for urban warfare, counter-insurgency and special operations. It can also be used as a command center for the ground commander who can maintain real time communications with HQ.[2]
