Incursion: prototype infantry fighting vehicle
Ollie Newton
Norwich University of the Arts
For my final major project in university, I created an extensive concept on a military vehicle which I specifically made and researched for fighting in dense urban environments where I took inspiration from real time vehicles, declassified documents, working mechanics, historic urban warfare case studies and specialised vehicle artists. The vehicle follows my current lorework 'Incursion' where it's set in a sub-story based on a hyper capitalistic society who generates their revenue from arms and military contractors. A made up war simply to benefit the rich was created in which this infantry fighting vehicle was prototyped and swiftly put into production. The infantry fighting vehicle, known as Element 542 Savant, is a multi-purpose 3 crewed vehicle that is armed with a dual-mount main weapon system. Armoured with lightweight composite, mounted ERA, slat armour and active protection systems, this vehicle was developed to thrive in urban business parks and cities where it would fight against its rival neighbour after escalated tensions between the two power regions (Par Phreszhko and Par Solost). Commanding officers love to call it a success, operating crew members call it a ticking time bomb.
