Chaiseri is a Thai company specializing in defense and security, known for manufacturing military vehicles and for its expertise in upgrading armored vehicles. Founded in 1986, Chaiseri has developed significant expertise in the production of ground defense systems, including light armored vehicles, armor kits, and mobility solutions for combat environments.

One of Chaiseri's most well-known products is the "First Win," a 4x4 armored vehicle used by several countries for reconnaissance, patrol, and as a battlefield ambulance. This vehicle is valued for its high mobility, robust ballistic protection, and its adaptability to various battlefield roles. Chaiseri has also expanded its influence by forming strategic alliances with other defense companies worldwide, thereby cooperating in the development of advanced technologies and expanding its reach in the international defense market. Besides being a supplier to the Royal Thai Army, the company exports to 37 countries including several Arab states, Argentina, Bangladesh, Chile, Denmark, Malaysia, Norway, Pakistan, Philippines, Sweden, Russia, Singapore, Ukraine

The Chaiseri Wildcat is a light armored all-terrain vehicle developed by the Thai company Chaiseri Metal & Rubber Co., Ltd. It is a more recent development compared to their renowned First Win vehicle series and is designed to provide exceptional off-road capability while offering good protection for troops. The Wildcat is designed to operate in various environments, including rough and rugged terrains, to accomplish a wide range of missions from patrolling to medical evacuations. It has a powerful engine and an automatic transmission system that allows it to reach high speeds while maintaining good maneuverability. With a maximum weight of 3750 kg, it can travel approximately 500 km at a maximum speed of 110 km/h on roads.

Its crossing capabilities are impressive; it can climb a 60% slope and handle a 30% side slope, although it can cross trenches of 50 cm and clear obstacles of 40 cm in height. Moreover, the Chaiseri Wildcat is designed to carry 4 crew members and 1000 kg of payload. Although its tubular structure indicates the possibility of adding collective armaments, it seems that this option was not discussed by the manufacturer during the presentation
