Overview:

The Snapper ISV is a low-slung tracked vehicle designed to carry and support infantry in battle. Its design is advanced, yet simple, in order to give it the lowest possible cost and the widest possible market appeal, without compromising performance on the battlefield.

Capabilities:

The Snapper ISV, like the short-tempered turtle it is named for, is deceptively fast, tough for its size, and packs a nasty bite.

The Snapper's fusion reactor gives a top speed just under 100 KPH over clear ground, and has all the power needed to handle even the worst terrain. The Snapper's track base is built short and wide, for maximum handling and stability.

The Snapper's low, wide body is well-armored, capable of withstanding a direct hit from even the largest battlefield weapons. The Snapper uses standard armor, for easy repairs even by low-tech users.

The Snapper is armed with three medium lasers, mounted in a turret for flexibility. These weapons are reliable in battle, efficient in use, and widely available even to low-tech users.

The Snapper's internal bay is equipped with folding bench seats and tiedown points, and ventilated for comfort. It has room for a platoon of foot or jump infantry, or a squad of four battle armor troopers. If the need arises, the benches can be stowed; the bay can then be used to move cargo, wounded soldiers, or other loads up to 4 tons in weight. And as an extra feature for the troops, the Snapper has an external power hookup, suitable for powering a platoon campsite from its reactor.

The basic Snapper is adaptable to a variety of roles; medical, command and scout variants of the Snapper are available on request.

For all this, one would expect a very high price. But the Snapper costs less than 790,000 C-Bills per unit...much less than many comparable and less-flexible designs.
