General

Created in response to an urgent requirement by the USMC by Force Protection Inc. in 2004, the Cougar family of vehicles provides a mobile, lightly armored, and highly IED resistant package suitable for urban and counter-insurgency operations.

Although the armour is thin, this vehicle is remarkably resilient to most light threats. Still, it should avoid exposure and utilize direct fire only in support of its dismounted infantry, or in emergencies. Like its Bushmaster cousin, the Cougar 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.

This vehicle is fully modeled and may be equipped with the Lemur remote weapon station or the now playable Kongsberg Protector .50 cal RWS.

The dismount section for the Cougar is 10 men, equipped with M136 (AT-4) light anti-armour weapons, an MG3, and 5,56mm rifles.
