The Novator (Ukrainian: Новатор) is a light armored vehicle, designed by the Ukrainian Armor company of Ukraine.[1][2] Сreated for patrolling in mountainous terrain and during the termination of group violations of public order, conducting special operations for the elimination of massive disturbances, the search and detention of criminals who constitute an increased public danger, transportation of wounded and persons taken into custody.[3]

Technical description[]

The APC develops a maximum road speed of 140 km/h and has the ability to traverse long distances, which makes it ideal for border patrol. The Novator performs fast maneuvers under difficult conditions due to the ideal distribution of the load on the axle.

The vehicle seems to be protected against small arms and shell splinters, including 7.62×54mmR fired from a Dragunov sniper rifle at 10 meters.

The design of the vehicle is divided in three main parts with the engine at the front, crew and troop compartment in the middle and cargo area at the rear. It can accommodate five military personnel with two seats at the front and three at the rear.

The Varta Novator has a length of 5.80 m, a width of 2.405 m and a height of 2.164 m. It has a gross weight of 9,000 kg and a payload capacity of up to 1,000 kg. The vehicle is motorized with a 6,7l turbo diesel engine developing 300 hp. The Varta Novator can run at maximum road speed of 140 km/h with a maximum cruising range of 700 km.[4]
