The UK's Light Protected Patrol Vehicle Urgent Operational Requirement required the development of a fully composite protective crew compartment (pod) that could be integrated with the full length V-Spine chassis. General Dynamics Land Systems - Force Protection Europe turned to the skills of high tech companies in the motor racing technologies area to fulfil this requirement, one being Beagle Technology Group (BTG). The result: the British designed Foxhound Protected Patrol Vehicle that will soon be in-service with the British Army.
