ASV Armored Knight

The U.S. Army is developing the M1200 Armored Knight to provide improved survivability over the current M707 Knight (HMMWV based Knight). Used by U.S. Army Field Artillery Combat Observation Lasing Teams (COLTs) in both Heavy and Infantry Brigade Combat teams, the Armored Knight will combine the proven Armored Security Vehicle (ASV) with the M707 Knight Mission Equipment Package (MEP).

The resultant M1200 Armored Knight will provide COLTs with increased armor protection, payload, and agility. Textron Marine & Land Systems is presently under contract with the US Army, for 107 modified ASVs to be used as the base vehicle for the M1200 Armored Knight production.
