Norinco NAV-1

     Notes: Norinco calls this a “Multifunctional Anti-Riot Assault Vehicle,” but it’s true purpose lies less in riot control and more in assault against multi-floor structures.  It consists of an SUV with a lightly-armored body and armored glass, with a strong steel frame around it.  The top of this frame is equipped with two ramps.  These ramps can be raised and lowered, and have a rough surface and handrails.  The ramp can therefore be quickly ran up by assaulting soldiers or police to gain entry to windows or openings up to four storeys up.  The ramps can be raised, lowered, extended, or retracted as necessary for the mission; their normal “storage” position is on the roof retracted so that the ramps do not extend beyond the frame.  The ramps, when folded, can be used as an assault platform; even folded, the ramps can reach a shorter 2^nd-story floor.  The ramps can reach up to 10.5 meters or 2.8 meters when folded.  The ramps themselves are a steel grating and cannot be counted upon to stop bullets. Up to twelve troops may be on the ramps when traveling or as they raise; the driver, commander, and six more troops may be inside the vehicle. In addition, six people can stand on the frame outside of the SUV.
