The Warrior IFV (Infantry Fighting Vehicle) was designed with speed and cross-country ability to keep pace with the Challenger 2-series of main battle tank for the Royal Army. Other considerations made in the design process was to field a close-support combat vehicle that would work in conjunction with infantry and other armor units in an offensive assault.

Accommodations feature a crew of three (driver, commander and gunner) with additional seating for up to 7 combat-ready infantry elements. Full NPC protection is afforded.

The Warrior's armor type is reported to be a mix of aluminum for the hull and steel for the turret system. The gunner handles the powered-turret which contains a single 30mm chain gun and 7.62mm machine gun combination.

The Warrior can be retro-fitted with Enhanced Armour, adding to the crew's survivability and assist in containing the ammunition from any unfortunate internal explosions. Additional passive armor is also available as an option.

The Warrior system as a whole is being continuously updated and is currently seeing action in Iraq and Afghanistan.
