The ARISGATOR is an amphibious vehicle that can navigate in open sea up to Beaufort wind scale 3. The vehicle is based on the M113A2+. All added kit parts are made of light alloy identical to the basic M113 hull.

The Arisgator has been fully qualified and certified by the IT.MoD in compliance with the landing operation requirements. The amphibious kit enables the vehicle to safely operate in ship-to-shore operations as well as in rivers and lakes.

The Arisgator can be used during beach landing operation, island patrol or can contribute during aid mission following disaster relief operations, like tsunami and floods. In addition to his unique amphibious tracked assault role, its versatility can also be used for law enforcement and peacekeeping operations.
