Supacat ATMP

The ATMP is a permanent 6-wheel drive, diesel-powered troop carrier. It can carry 2 crew and up to 8 troops. The ATMP is steered by a handlebar device. The ATMP offers excellent off-road capability. A hollow aluminium-clad frame allows the ATMP to float on water.

ATMPs can be configured for different roles:

  • basic troop transport
  • with roll bars and weapons mounts fitted the ATMP can act as a mobile fire support base
  • fork lift pallet trailer
  • aviation fuel tanker
  • casualty evacuation - with the addition of stretchers

Whilst the ATMP is primarily used by 16 Air Assault, recent press reports have stated that the Special Boat Service used a 'Supacat 6x6 all-terrain vehicle' for the reconnaissance phase of an operation against a senior Taliban commander in Afghanistan. (external link)
