General

The Vector ATTV (“Versatile Expeditionary Commando Tactical Off Road” “Air Transportable Tactical Vehicle”) is a light air-portable 4x4 tactical truck manufactured by Defenture BV for the Dutch military.

Thermal sights are available for mounted ATGM systems (Num +), but all other weapons feature "iron" sights only. Night vision capability (NVG) or thermal (JIM-LR) views for the vehicle crew and scout team members (Num +) are available under appropriate lighting conditions if the team is so equipped (rev. 2.640). Note that the JIM-LR is useful for observation only, but NVGs may be used with weapon sights (rev. 4.016).
