  • Platform Mission:
    This platform was designed to meet the requirements of an urban or short range support/command unit. It can be adapted to a number of roles from fire suppression to a communications base. This system was to be used when the presence of a MARS or SCIENCE ONE unit would be detrimental to the completion of the mission. Usually they work with two support vehicles such as the V-150. Units have been known to be configured for field surgical hospitals, strike command, mobile air control, and even one as a rolling general store to help make first contact!
