The Véhicule d'Action dans la Profondeur is a military vehicle built by Panhard.[1] It has an empty weight of 2500 kg and a useful payload of 1500 kg,[2] and is a stealthy vehicle intended for use deep in hostile territory.[3] It is an improvement on the design of the Véhicule Blindé Léger, retaining the armoured floor (for protection against landmines) but with side armour and doors removed. It has a Steyr diesel engine and can be fitted with a variety of weapons.[4]
