These modifications are carried out with the purpose to further harmonize
the basic characteristics of the vehicle with contemporary world trends
in development of families of multi-role armored wheel-type vehicles.
The concept of LAZAR 2 represents a combination of the concept of vehicles
class MRAP (Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle) and MRAV (Multi-Purpose
Armored Vehicle), but it is closer to the MRAV concept first of all because
of introduction of independent suspension.
This concept provides
for installation of different types of gun mounts, turrets and weapon
compartments depending on the basic purpose of the vehicle.
Lazar has modular
design which provides for installation of different weapons, sensors
and communication systems, thus representing the basis for the development
of a family of vehicles - armor carrier, command vehicle, ambulance,
logistic support vehicle (cargo vehicle), engineer / tractor, anti-mine
vehicle, carrier of artillery weapons cal. 120 /122 /155 mm, or hybrid
artillery-AD missile system, etc.
As the concept of
Lazar vehicle is based on the chassis and other components of standard
cross country trucks, the production of the vehicle is relatively simple
and fast, and the production price is low which makes it popular with
the wide range of potential buyers.
