Alvis Tactica

The Alvis Tactica is a British wheeled armoured personnel carrier built for internal security work, available with four or six driven wheels. It began as a private development by the engineering firm Glover Webb of Hamble in Hampshire, which designed the vehicle and brought it to market in 1988. Production later passed to GKN Defence, then to Alvis plc after it bought the GKN armoured vehicle business in 1998, and finally to BAE Systems Land Systems. Variants were built as armoured personnel carriers, ambulances, water cannon and crowd control vehicles, and the type served with police forces and armies in Britain, Norway, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, Mauritius, Ghana and other countries. The British Army used it from 1993 in Northern Ireland. It is no longer produced.
