Granite Tactical Vehicles announced it is developing a new Tactical Ultra-Light Combat Vehicle that can be transported inside CH-47 and V-22 aircraft on Thursday.

The company says the new vehicle is capable of carrying 9 passengers, is highly maneuverable and protected, and can be fitted with weapons. It can also be used as a cargo or medical vehicle.

The Tactical Ultra-Light Combat Vehicle will feature a unique drivetrain, suspension, and crew seat systems, ideal for traveling in harsh terrain without being too heavy for aircraft transport.
