Lynx Armoured Buggy

The Lynx uses speed and mobility instead of heavy armour, but its 20mm bite is vicious.

Systems
As a reconnaissance vehicle, it is equipped with a 30x zoom multi-spectral camera, radar, electronic interception/warfare systems, and two aerial drones.

Weapons
A light armour automatic turret houses a 20mm rotary cannon and the spy camera coaxially. It can rotate 360º and elevate 75º, providing excellent AA protection, but due to its low profile to the hull it can only depress 10º; these limits can be increased by tilting the entire hull using the legs' mobility.

Hull
The tandem cockpit is NBC-protected and can resist 7.62mm weapons and anti-personnel land mines.

It can take a crew of three in separate partitions to prevent total team kill by beyond-armour effects: a driver on the front seat, a systems operator who deals with sensors and electronic warfare systems on the left rear seat, and a drone operator responsible for deploying, operating and retrieving the drones on the right rear seat. All controls can be slaved to any partition, should the specialist be incapacitated.

The turret ring and secondary ammunition storage are positioned in the centre, between the driver and the operators. It provides enough room for the breech when the weapon is elevated, for for crew to access or manually operate the systems, or to move between the seats; a proximity sensor disables the turret when someone approaches it lest its spastic target-tracking motions injure the crew member.

Mobility
Akras recent advances in heat disposal allowed it to rethink its paradigms. All Akras vehicles are now equipped with miniature Helium-3 fusion reactors thermally shielded by Heatsink Stone(TM) technology.

Its four independent legs are telescopic and fully mobile, allowing the Lynx to move in the most rugged terrains, crab sideways, cross ditches longer than itself and even climb ledges. When the legs aren't enough, the harpoon and electric winch allow the vehicle to hoist itself to otherwise inaccessible heights.

On flatter terrain, the large wheels can deploy their full power into a feline dash with which few other vehicles can keep up.
