My application concept for the Cheetah FAV mimics that of the Seal Fast Attack Vehicle and current day Light Strike Vehicle. Like an M274 Mongoose it is largely unarmored and very maneuverable but the Cheetah is faster than a Mongoose with a 130KM/H top speed comparable to the M12 Warthog. With both a gunner operated roof mounted 40mm Grenade Launcher and driver operated M247H heavy machine gun it offers firepower comparable to that of a 'Hog. Finally the lack of armor and open frame dune buggy construction make the Cheetah light enough to be transported in a sling beneath a UH-144 Falcon, whereas the heavier Warthog would require a Pelican at a minimum for air transport.
