2. INTRODUCTION
• The eXV-1™ is a highly maneuverable and transportable state-of-the-art,
4x4 ultra-light mission vehicle that was designed and developed by
MILSPRAY for special operating forces.
• The vehicle offers enhanced endurance parameters, increased protection
and enemy detection avoidance capabilities.
• The MILSPRAY eXV-1 is operationally configured for C-130, V-22 and CH-
47 aircraft and is air droppable.
• MILSPRAY will introduce the eXV-1 to the international market place at the
International Armoured Vehicle (IAV) conference and exhibition to be held
in London between 26 and 29 January 2015.
• MILSPRAY engineers have already presented briefings and information to
the US and international military forces.

4. DESIGN
• The eXV-1 is protected by a lightweight, laboratory and
field-tested composite armour.
• The vehicle accommodates four personnel with full
equipment and offers ballistic protection for critical
components and occupants.
• The vehicle can be configured as a two-person utility cargo
vehicle.
• Customers can also configure the vehicle according to their
mission-specific requirements.
5. BALLISTIC PROTECTION
• The exterior of the vehicle is coated with MILSPRAY's proprietary
Tough Coat™.
• Tough Coat is a lightweight, anti-corrosive coating system that
provides protection from corrosion, scratches and other
deteriorations.
• The coating system ensures a chemically bonded integration of
chemical agent resistant coatings (CARC) offering ocular camouflage,
while reducing infrared (IR) signature.
• This innovative solution avoids detection under visual and IR
surveillance.

7. ARMAMENT
• The eXV-1 is currently fitted with an overhead weapons mount and one swing-arm
universal weapons mount.
• The weapon mounts can be fitted for mission-specific operations weapon systems
and can be outfitted with additional weapon mounts.
• The independently tested level UL-7 composite armour protects the crew against
small arms fire.
• The dual-purpose blast mitigating skid plate under the hull safeguards the vehicle
and its occupants from ground level threats.
• The eXV-1 contains blast and ballistic resistant technology that was derived from
MILSPRAY's development efforts with the Army Research Laboratory (ARL).

9. ENGINE
• The vehicle is powered by 160kW peak power electric motor coupled with
high-performance lithium-polymer batteries.
• The batteries are externally rechargeable with 120V AC (15A) or 240V AC
(30A) outlet.
• The electric drive propulsion generates lower acoustic and thermal signatures
than an internal combustion engine, which vastly reduces the signature of the
vehicle while providing a greater level of security to the occupants.
• The vehicle offers a range of 483km (300 miles) comprised a 50-mile, all-
electric range provided by the batteries and an additional 250 miles of diesel
or JP-8 jet fuel range extension.

11. MOBILITY
• The eXV-1 has a maximum speed of 96.5km/h (60mph) and elevation
operating range of up to 10,000ft.
• It is fitted with four 26in run-flat bead-lock tires. An adjustable
double-A arm independent suspension on all the four wheels ensures
a ground clearance of 10in and mobility on the most demanding
terrains.
• The vehicle also features fording capability for operations over water
bodies and can be fitted with infrared lights for night driving.
