XA-180
The workhorse of the Finnish army, XA-180 armored personnel carrier, is seen here on a forest road during trials. XA-180 entered service in 1983 and is operated not only by Finland but also by other nations in numerous peacekeeping operations.
The vehicle is fully amphibious and can carry two infantry squads. Several variants have been developed along the years, culminating in the Advanced Modular Vehicle (AMV) design.

Awesome! This is a machine im very familyar with. We got this model to our company back in 1994 and we loved them. Cant wait to use this and the other models ingame. Both the Leopard and Scania we use in the Norwegian Army.
Was a plan to work on a Hagglund Bandvagn (BV206) model for this mod too???
We had plans for BV206 already in OFP times. The model and textures were pretty much finished but we never got the damn thing behave like a two part vehicle so it was scrapped.
With ARMA2 attachTo command it could work but I’m afraid it will be a waste of time again :/.
Hmm.. Yeah, I see the problem. Could the BV206 been released as a static (non driveble) ?
I dont know about others in the community but I would love to place a few of them on the map 🙂
Well.. Im not gonna go on about other models when there is so many awesome ones in this mod already.
Love your work 🙂
There were some thoughts about releasing it as non-flexible, but still usable vehicle, maybe in ATGM or mortar carrier variants. Of course it would have looked really funny as such… a bit like our tractor in OFP mod 🙂
Will this be in the arma 2 version? One of my favourite finnish army vehicles!
When that XA-180 is released? Have been waiting for it since the mod came out 🙂

The SSRT program consists of three phases. Phase I began in August 1990 and consisted of a $12 million design and risk reduction competition. At that time, the program was focused on multiple single stage-to-orbit concepts which were found to be potentially viable, including vertical take off and landing (VTOL), horizontal takeoff and landing (HTOL) and vertical takeoff and horizontal landing (VTHL) configurations. Following completion of Phase I, a two-year $58 million Phase II contract was competitively awarded to McDonnell Douglas Aerospace, Huntington Beach, Calif., in August 1991. The program was subsequently restructured and focused on building the DC-X and enabling suborbital RLVs for potential use by BMDO. The DC-X design emphasised simplified ground and flight operations, vehicle maintenance, rapid turnaround, and operational characteristics that were also relevant to future orbital vehicles. For example, the highly automated control centre for this system was manned by only three people: two for flight operations and one for ground operations and servicing. Successful completion of the DC-X testing in mid 1993 was to form the basis for a Phase III “go/no go” decision by the Department of Defense to develop a follow-on Advanced Technology Demonstrator for support of flight tests and experiments. If a decision was made to proceed with Phase III, the program was to be transferred to another agency.
