1. Introduction In today’s rapidly evolving battlefield, speed, adaptability, and connectivity are as critical as armour and firepower. The Light Strike Vehicle (LSV) embodies this philosophy — a lightweight, high-mobility 4×4 platform that enables forces to strike fast, manoeuvre through hostile terrain, and exfiltrate before the enemy can react. Deployed extensively by special forces, airborne regiments, and reconnaissance units, the LSV is the spearhead of tactical mobility. It can traverse deserts, jungles, or high-altitude zones where heavier armoured vehicles cannot operate effectively. Its open architecture, modular chassis, and high power-to-weight ratio make it ideal for hit-and-run tactics, convoy escort, surveillance, and reconnaissance. Yet, its very openness — while advantageous for mobility — imposes limitations on endurance and operational scope. Exposure to weather, dust, and acoustic interference reduces mission duration. More critically, the open design constrains the integration of sensitive electronics such as radio transceivers, satellite communication gear, or tactical computing systems that demand a sealed, vibration-isolated environment. Recognizing these challenges, Neometrix Defence Limited developed the Light Strike Vehicle Modification and Upgrade Program — a transformative engineering solution that elevates the LSV from a fast-attack platform to a mobile command and communication hub. Through a series of structural reinforcements, interior refits, electrical integrations, and environmental controls, this program converts a standard LSV into a fully enclosed, climate-controlled, multi-mission platform capable of operating as a forward C3 (Command, Control & Communication) node. This upgrade allows defence and paramilitary organizations to repurpose their existing LSV fleets into modern, mission-ready systems for special communication operations, electronic warfare support, and surveillance coordination — without losing the inherent agility and reliability that define the LSV’s battlefield reputation. 2. Mission Role The modified Light Strike Vehicle serves as a compact, high-mobility communication and control platform, enabling real-time coordination in forward zones. It can support: • Secure communication relay between mobile convoys and command bases. • Tactical mission management for reconnaissance or UAV-supported operations. • Signal and surveillance missions, where low acoustic and thermal signature is essential. • Rapid-deployment coordination for special forces teams operating beyond fixed bases. The four-crew layout (driver, co-driver, and two rear operators) ensures simultaneous vehicle operation, mission control, and data transmission without interference or downtime. 3. Structural and Cabin Enhancements • Fully Enclosed LMS Body Capsule: Fabricated from 1.6 mm low-carbon mild steel, insulated with thermal glass-wool, and lined with padded leather panels. The 2 mm internal liner provides noise damping and comfort for extended operations. • Dimensions: Roof module 1870 × 2650 mm; sealed joints protect against dust rain, and temperature extremes. • Doors and Access: Four side doors (1100 × 870 mm) and a rear door (900 × 900mm) made of 1.6 mm LMS, fitted with 6 mm toughened tinted Lamisafe glass. • Security Features: Central locking (mechanical + wireless), dual RC and “Gucha” locks, rain visors, and full-length seals. • Finish: Matte Olive-Green Desert polyurethane enamel with ~110 μm DFT coating for UV and corrosion protection. 4. Crew Layout and Ergonomics The modified LSV is configured for four forward-facing crew members: driver, co-driver, and two rear operators. • Rear Seats: 500 × 500 mm seat base and 700 mm backrest with 200 mm slide travel for workstation access. • Material: Ventilated leather upholstery, foam density 40 (50 mm thickness). • Comfort Features: Seatbelts, padded interior, grab handles, and low-glare LED lighting. • Lighting: 2 × 12 V / 6 W LED dome lights for even illumination. The ergonomic design reduces fatigue during long missions while providing sufficient space for operators to use laptops, radio panels, or surveillance monitors. 5. Communication and Equipment Integration Central Communication Rack A custom LMS communication rack (400 × 400 × 900 mm) is installed between the two operator seats: • Five adjustable shelves (400 × 400 × 1.6 mm) for communication hardware, power supplies, or servers. • Two fold-out trays (400 × 300 × 20 mm) for laptop or document use. • Shock-proof ESD mats across all shelves and floor panels. • Lockable storage at the base for accessories or mission spares. • Designed for easy cable routing and ventilation of electronic equipment. Weapons and Equipment Storage • Weapons Box: 900 × 300 × 300 mm, lockable, floor-mounted. • Ammunition Box: 160 × 300 × 300 mm. • Arms Box: 740 × 300 × 300 mm. All fabricated from 1.6 mm LMS with reinforced hinges, vibration-isolated mounts, and secure latching. 6. Electrical and Power Systems • Battery Configuration: Dual 12 V, 100 Ah batteries connected in parallel (12 V, 200 Ah total). - Primary battery powers the vehicle system. - Secondary (formerly winch) battery dedicated to mission electronics and lighting. • Alternator: 13.5 V / 155 A unit capable of recharging both batteries within approximately 3 hours. • External Generator (Optional): 2.4 kVA field-deployable genset with four socket outlets for long-duration operations. • Electrical Safety: Fused harnesses, isolator switch near the operator rack, and surge protection for communication circuits. 7. Environmental Control (HVAC) • System Type: Dual-vent, fully integrated air-conditioning and heating system. • Temperature Range: 15 °C – 30 °C adjustable. • Compressor: 5 HP belt-driven compressor powered by vehicle engine (104 kW / 140 BHP). • Features: Front defogger, rear air distribution vents, and filtered air circulation. This ensures both crew comfort and stable operating temperature for communication hardware during long missions in high-temperature or humid environments. 8. Navigation and Awareness • Display Unit: ≥ 9.35′′ Full-HD 1080p screen integrated with dashboard. • Rear Camera: 135° wide-angle view, real-time feed, video recording, and low-light vision. • Digital Compass: Integrated with GPS interface. • Optional Expansion: Integration with forward-looking IR camera or UAV telemetry interface. 9. Safety and Field Equipment • Fire Suppression: Two portable extinguishers with quick-release brackets. • Crew Sustainment: 20 L thermal-insulated water tank. • Spare Wheel Mount: Flat-mounted on rear floorboard for quick removal and balanced weight distribution. • Additional Accessories: Grab handles (×4), map light provision, central locking system, and waterproof door trims. 10.
