Shri Lakshmi Defence Solutions Ltd unveiled the Sherpa, its new light armoured vehicle (LAV) during Indesec. The indigenously developed vehicle, in a joint programme with Ford India, is designed keeping in mind the operational requirements of the police and paramilitary forces.

The mid-sized 360° armoured vehicle built on monocoque capsule-based provides ample protection. The 2+6 seat vehicle with maximum speed of 160 kmph is an ideal force multiplier in war against naxals and terrorists, even in an urban scenario especially for the command vehicle operations. With its unique safety features and rigidity of frame, the vehicle can tackle any terrain and prove useful as a force multiplier for homeland security.
