Casspir is a mine resistant armoured personnel carrier developed in South Africa for military and security operations. It is designed to transport personnel safely in environments where landmines, improvised explosive devices, and ballistic threats are present. The vehicle features a high clearance chassis and a V shaped hull that deflects blast energy away from occupants, providing strong protection against mines and small arms fire.

Vehicle Overview

Overview

The Casspir is a Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle that has been in use in South Africa since the 1980s. It is a four-wheeled, four-wheel drive vehicle, used for transport of troops. It can hold a crew of two, plus 12 additional soldiers and associated equipment. The Casspir was unique in design when launched, providing for passive mine defence. The main armoured steel body of the vehicle is raised high above the ground, so when a mine is detonated, the explosion is less likely to damage the crew compartment and kill the occupants. The cross-section of the hull is V-shaped, directing the force of the explosion outwards, further protecting the occupants.

The vehicle also offers crew protection from small arms fire. The capabilities of the Casspir were the basis of the outline capabilities required by the U.S. Marines for their MRAP program.[1]
