The army’s Stryker A1 eight-wheeled vehicle features increased power, survivability and mobility and provides extra stowage and seating for nine soldiers and three crew. The US Army continues to modernise its Stryker fleet of vehicles through the introduction of the 30mm, up gunned Infantry Carrier Vehicle – Dragoon and the Double-V Hull A1 platform.
