South Korean armoured vehicle manufacturer, Kovico is participating for the first time at the ongoing show. Speaking to Daily News, a company official said Kovico is eyeing market entry into the Philippines, as it wants to expand the markets that it has a presence in. On display, is Kovico’s Kovico Multi-Purpose Vehicle (KMPV) 4x4 which has been delivered to the Republic of Korea Army in 2022. The Indonesian Police has been a repeat customer for the KMPV in 2022 and 2023. Kovico has been very successful in Indonesia, with repeat orders from the Indonesian Police for over 100 vehicles.
The KMPV 4X4 is also in contention for a Malaysian requirement, the official said. She added that Kovico’s armoured vehicle offerings are highly customisable as the vehicle chassis and body have all been designed in-house. The vehicle can attain a max speed of 110 kmph, and is reputed for having excellent on-road and off-road performance due its low Centre of Gravity.
The KMPV 4X4 is available in over 10 different configurations, including a 120 mm mortar launcher vehicle, troop carrier, pick-up vehicle, etc. The armoured vehicle is available with a manually operated turret system, which can accommodate light and medium caliber weapons. It can also be fitted with a Remote-Controlled Weapon Station (RCWS), which is a remotely operated weaponized system often equipped with fire-control systems for light and medium caliber weapons. Such equipment used on modern military vehicles allows a gunner to remain in the relative protection of the vehicle. The weapons, however need to be supplied by end-users.
In addition to this this, the KMPV 4X4 has been certified for TNT 6kg Mine/IED blast protection (STANAG 45696 Level 2) by (Industrieanlagen Betriebsgesellschaft mbH) IABG in Germany.
