Tata Offers Light Armoured Multipurpose Vehicle (LAMV) to Morocco for Reconnaissance and Rapid Deployment After WHAP Success

Following the successful procurement of 150 WHAP (Wheeled Armored Amphibious Platform) 8×8 vehicles, Tata Advanced Systems is aiming to further solidify its partnership with the Royal Moroccan Army by offering its Light Armoured Multipurpose Vehicle (LAMV).

This agile and highly protected vehicle is being considered for trials to assess its suitability for various operational roles, including reconnaissance, utility, and tactical missions, addressing Morocco's evolving defense needs in a region facing growing security challenges.

The Tata LAMV is engineered for exceptional mobility and adaptability across diverse terrains and mission types. It combines advanced protection features with cutting-edge situational awareness systems, providing the versatility required by modern armed forces.

If selected, the LAMV would significantly boost Morocco's armored vehicle capabilities, particularly in reconnaissance and rapid deployment operations. Its potential adoption builds upon the success of the WHAP vehicles, potentially establishing Tata as a key defense partner for Morocco and the North African region.

Key Specifications and Features of the Tata LAMV​

Power and Mobility:

• 276 kW engine for high performance across challenging terrains.
• Seating for up to four personnel (2+2) and a maximum Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of 10,200 kg.
• Run-flat tire inserts and a central tire inflation system for enhanced maneuverability in rugged conditions.

Protection:

• STANAG 4569 Level 2 ballistic protection.
• STANAG 4569 Level 2a and 2b mine and IED protection, withstanding up to 15kg TNT explosions.

Situational Awareness and Operational Systems:

• 360-degree situational awareness system with advanced cameras.

• Battle Management System (BMS) for integrated communication and data management.
• IED jammers and smoke launchers for enhanced defense.

Adaptable Variants:

• Reconnaissance variant for frontline surveillance and intelligence gathering.

The LAMV's potential role in the Royal Moroccan Army highlights the growing prominence of Indian defense manufacturers in the international market. This development also underscores Morocco's commitment to modernizing its armed forces and enhancing its defense capabilities in response to regional security dynamics.

Good Next decade is of Bharat, post 2030 Export will zoom, IA might b Interested in WhAP with Indigenous Engine plus Mahindra model which is modified compared to TATA

 

[Dr]

But Indian army wants more expensive Stryker instead should go for Tata Wapp & other similar Indian Viechles

 

[Sangram]

TATA should invest heavily in defence manufacturing and research surely they will become leader in defence manufacturing

 

[Dredd]

This is what happen when an entity won a trust by delivering quality, we should not be surprised to see many more tata win in morocco. this is something which DPSU will never win over any customer, as they supply based on compulsion not competition.

No tender for Stryker while tender for WhAP has already been issued by IA 😂😂

 

[Sandeep]

India is making a name for itself and we should take advantage of it. It’s great if we can export more of these type of vehicles in Africa where there is always a war going on somewhere and we should take advantage of it like other countries will.

Nope. That was the LSP to test them. Based on those tests modifications were done. Now a tender for 198 units has been released which is pending with MoD.
