The ASLAV is an eight wheeled vehicle, with the front two axles steering, and having the ability to operate in either four or eight wheel drive. Rear mounted propellers give the vehicle a speed of 10 km/hr in water. The turbocharged GM 6V53T diesel engine gives a top road speed in excess of 100 km/h. A range of 600 kilometres is possible. A front mounted self-recovery winch is fitted. The standard vehicle of the family is the ASLAV-25. Its Delco designed turret mounts the M242 25mm Cannon, which has a selectable rate of fire varying from single shot to 100 and 200 rounds per minute. Two MAG 58 7.62mm Machine Guns are fitted, one co-axially with the M242 and the second on the turret for use by the commander. A thermal imaging day/night sight is fitted. The turret rotates 360o and is fully stabilised.
