General

The Bushmaster is an armed, armoured truck intended for internal security, counter-insurgency, and other low intensity warfare.

The armour is thin, and lacking a heavy weapon this vehicle is very vulnerable to most threats. Its machine guns should only be used for direct fire in support of its dismounted infantry, or in emergencies against other light vehicles. It is however survivable against IEDs and other mines, using hull shaping and isolation of the crew from the hull to provide much higher survivability than conventional light vehicles. The Bushmaster is equipped with individual rally-style seats and cooled drinking water, to enhance the dismount's continued effectiveness in hostile arid conditions by enhancing their comfort during movement.

This vehicle may be equipped with a pintle mounted MAG (M240), MG3, or .50 cal M2HB machine gun at the commander's position, or may mount either the Lemur or Kongsberg Protector remote weapon stations.

The dismount section for the Bushmaster is 8 men carrying 2 M136 (AT-4) light anti-armour weapons, a 7.62mm MAG 58 (M240), and 5.56mm rifles.
