The Bushmaster PMV is designed to rapidly deploy battle ready troops in all environments. It can carry a section of 9 soldiers in high comfort and protection over terrain ranging from very rough desert to large highways. Its innovative cabin design makes it very flexible in its internal fit-out, allowing many different roles to be served.
The Bushmaster PMV is built to carry and sustain a 9-man infantry section, with room for 1 more passenger if required. Designed with the rugged Australian outback in mind, it is fully air-conditioned and contains up to 250L of drinking water under the floor. Combine that with the large external storage bins full of food and equipment, it can sustain a full crew for 3 days in the field

Bushmaster carries one complete spare wheel and all fitted wheels have run flat tyre inserts and a central tyre inflation system allowing them to continue travelling with punctures.
The Bushmaster PMV uses an armoured v-shaped hull to protect its passengers from landmines. The sloped sides on the bottom of the hull act to deflect an upward blast away from the vehicle. The external storage bins on the sides also add extra protection for the crew, in the case of a mine blast.
