The TAPV and LAV VI family of armoured vehicles were featured in the media video coverage.[2][3] The TAPV relies upon composite armour to provide the maximum protection to the vehicles occupants.The TAPV also has a V-shaped hull, which provides protection against mine and improvised explosive device (IED) blasts.[3] It can withstand up to 10 kg of explosive force directly under its hull, and can resist even 12.7 mm armour-piercing rounds.[2] The TAPV can handle water (fording) depth up to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) but is not built as a fully amphibious vehicle.
