Mobility on the Ground


Cadillac Gage™ Combat Vehicles

To move military personnel across the ground both safely and effectively, customers in more than 35 countries turn to Textron Systems' Cadillac Gage family of wheeled and tracked armored combat vehicles. Battle-proven, our Cadillac Gage LAV 300 MK II, LAV 600 Armored Security (ASV) light-armored vehicles, and Stingray II light tank provide outstanding survivability, speed and mobility.

There's no more rugged or reliable vehicle in the 6X6 class than our LAV 300 MK II and LAV 600 vehicles. The fully amphibious LAV 300, offered in 15 mission-ready configurations, is capable of speeds up to 65 mph and can be air-transported by C-5A, C-141 and C-130 aircraft. The LAV 600 offers superior mobility, coupled with 105-mm firepower not generally found in a vehicle of its class, while remaining C-130 transportable.

Stingray II is a light tank that features the firepower of a main battle tank. Equipped with a 105-mm low-recoil force gun/turret, Stingray II fires all standard rounds, including 105-mm NATO rounds. Known for its superior agility, Stingray II provides the lethality of a main battle tank at less cost.

The Armored Security Vehicle (ASV) is a highly mobile, survivable and C-130 transportable 4X4 wheeled vehicle currently in full production for the U.S. Army's Military Police. The ASV's modular expandable armor provides front, rear and side crew protection from .50-caliber armor-piercing ammunition. Additionally, the ASV offers defense from 155-mm artillery shell fragments overhead and 12-pound mine blasts under each wheel.
