Spartan - Armoured Vehicles

Armoured Vehicles Spartan is a derivative of the CVR(T) vehicle (Combat Vehicle Reconnaissance tracked).
The Alvis Spartan is a variant of the Alvis Scorpion CVR(T) and Starstreak APC systems. Initially it served to carry the Javelin surface to
air missile system but has since been adopted to serve a variety of battlefield (anti-tank and air defense) and peacekeeping roles.
The Spartan is fully amphibious and is operated by a crew of three.
More importantly, the Spartan needs only a crew of two and the armored personnel
variant can provide transportation for up to five combat-equipped soldiers.
The system has seen action as recently as the Bosnian Conflict.

The Spartan is the armoured personnel carrier variant of the series.
The drivers position, engine and transmission layout is similar to the basic Scorpion.
The crew consists of three with a troop compartment in the rear for another four.
The vehicle has provision for a vehicle commander in a cupola similar to the Striker.
The troops in the rear have a two part hatch in the roof and a rear hatch.
There are no firing ports in the rear compartment.
The vehicle’s armament consists of a 7.62mm machine gun and smoke dischargers.
