Brief Description:[]

The Guardian is very similar to the US Army's Stryker in practice, however it has been heavily optimized for use on the modern and future battlefields. It is one of the products of the US Armys Future Combat Systems GCV program, incorporating the latest battlefield technologies. The Guardian, unlike its larger more powerful cousin, the Predator has more advanced recon and surveillance technologies which make it more suited to a scout vehicle than a frontline war machine.

Classification: Infantry Carrier Vehicle

Protection:[]

The Guardians armor has been designed to withstand most of the latest rounds that can be fired from a variety of modern AFV platforms. It uses perforated spaced laminant Nanomechanically structured Aluminum/Titanium Steel alloy with Tungsten Carbide and ballistic Nylon reinforcements. It's spaced armor areas are supplemented with lightweight Non-Explosive Reactive Armor which is highly efficient at deforming HEAT shaped charges (albeit useless againts KE penetrators) and possess a multihit capability. The Guardian also uses modular Nanomechanically structured composite/ceramic armor inserts which consist of steel encased pulverized Silicon/Boron Carbide, Titanium Diboride and Aluminum Oxide elements arranged in a hexagonal matrix. Titanium alloy reinforced Polyethylene, KE dispersive Polystyrene foam, Boron Nano-fibers and various other Nano-metal matrix/crystal composites.

  • Note that this is basically the description of my Nano-composite/ceramic armor, so this is pretty much what you're gonna see for every vehicle using it.*

Countermeasures:[]

To further increase protection, the Guardian is equiped with the AN/VLQ-12 Missile Countermeasure Device, various Electro-Optical Countermeasures which include Radar/Infrared jammers, aswell as the Iron Sentinel Active Defensive System. It can be supplemented even further with SLAT cagged standoff armor. Four six barreled smoke grenade launchers come standard, and can also be loaded with flares.
