M660 Armadillo Protected Troop Transport

The M660 Pangolin Protected Troop Transport in the UNSC's primary infantry and material transport truck. The design of this vehicle is based upon the short comings of UNSC transports from the Insurrection. 
The Armadillo features a single cabin, with an armoured cab up front and an armoured troop cabin behind. both sides have sealed and separate NBC systems for crew protection, with armour intended for protection against small arms fire. The windows are single-crystal quartz with reinforcing that confer similar protection benefits to the armour plating. The monocoque hull has a V-shaped underside intended to deflect IED explosions away from the crew and passengers. The 6x6 chassis is powered by a hydrogen ICE up front, with independent steering and variable transmission. The vehicle features decoy launchers and defensive measures, as well as a PALADIN Weapon Station to be used against threats close to the vehicle. The cabin has air conditioning intended to keep crew comfortable under potentially uncomfortable environments. The modular cabin can be quickly refit for cargo payloads, or medical bays, to adjust to other roles. The front cab has two doors, and two escape hatches above, while the passenger bay gas a door at the rear and two hatches above.
As a tough, all-terrain vehicle, it can transport passengers over rough terrain, and perform a variety of missions while under fire. It is often used to transport personnel close to the front, and in occupied territories.
