"C" Class Family of Vehicles
The "C" Class Family of Vehicles were developed in order to create uniformity among the armoured vehicles in both the Army and Marine inventories. Originally manufactured as only the Infantry Combat Vehicle, Knight, Mark I, the vehicle's hull and chassis have been modified into a modular design so it can be adopted for several roles.
Deployment
The vehicles can be deployed by C-130J Hercules, those with external turrets have them removed for height differences but will be fully deployable from the future C-180 Advanced Tactical Transport Aircraft. They can also be fully deployed via C-17 Globemaster III and C-5 Galaxy.
