Multi-Mission Effects Vehicle

 

The MMEV (Multi-Mission Effects Vehicle) was planned to be an evolutionary step to the ADATS in other words the successor. 

The MMEV was in basic terms a LAV III Chassis with the normal LAV III turret removed and replaced with an ADATS turret.

The cost of the program was 750 Million CAD for 30 vehicles and 100 Million for the first phase of the project and it was awarded to Oerlikon Contraves.

Sadly there is not a lot of information on this vehicle as the vehicle was cancelled a little over a year into the project. (September 2005-November 2006) They did have a vehicle they did show off to the public at Eurosatory 2006.

The multi-mission effects vehicle offered the mobility of the LAV but the firepower of the ADATS and was able to engage tanks or air with a variety of different missiles.

 

The MMEV came to be a project because the Canadian government was planning to replace all their Leopard 1's with different variants of the LAV III which were the MMEV, LAV AGS and LAV TAU. This plan as can be easily seen did not happen and when the the variants were cancelled they extending the planned service life of the Leopard 1's that were in service.

+1, would love to see this added.

[Miraz05 255]

Players would really love this

Obvious choice for a top tier AA system for a future Canadian/Commonwealth tree. +1

All assets of this vehicle have been made. And even with closure of this project, and being in phase of unfinished mock-up, It could be added as counterpart to Pantsir. I prefer to see it in British TT instead of American, US have other variants of the such long range SPAA. Btw, Isn't the CRV7 on this vehicle were laser guided, not just straight moving HEATs

I guess I forgot to mention that, you are correct they are CRV7-PG's

+1 for US tree, it is the only country in-game that uses LAV (Stryker) chassis and the missiles and radar system was built by the US, and they were the only country in-game to test the equipment, and the company that made the LAV-III is a subsidiary of a US company

Precious logic, In fact that Stryker was made on basis of LAV-III while LAV-III is based on Piranha IIIH. I'm not against it, but I prefer to see it in the British TT, US have a lot of things to offer, while UK is not
