XA-188 Tank Destroyer

     Notes:  This is an XA-188 APC fitted with a Kvaerner-Eureka Armored Launcher Turret mounting a 4-tube TOW II ATGM launcher.  In this role, the passenger compartment is taken up with the turret, the crew, and ammunition for the launchers. The XA-188 Tank Destroyer has a 246-horsepower Valmet 611 diesel engine with an automatic transmission.  There are two rear doors each with a firing port, and four BMP-style firing ports in each side.  There is a large hatch on the rear deck which is used to reload the missile launchers.  At the front, opposite the driver on the right, is the commander’s position; he has a pintle machinegun mount. The vehicle has a GPS navigation system with a mapping module.

     Patria also shopped around a version of this concept based on the upgraded XA-203 APC, with a more powerful 295-horsepower Valmet engine to move the upgraded armor suite.  This version has firing ports only in the rear doors, but is otherwise similar to its XA-188 counterpart.

*Floor armor for this version is 4; roof armor is 3.
