DESCRIPTION
The Infantry Combat Module is an enhanced combat configuration for the VLKT-4500 "Vulta", designed to provide both protected troop transport and direct fire support on the battlefield.
Built upon the foundation of the APC Module, this variant integrates a fully stabilized turret system equipped with the TK-50 50mm cannon and TK-13A machine gun, allowing it to engage a wide range of targets while maintaining mobility.
The system’s advanced FCS and radar integration enable rapid target acquisition, tracking, and engagement in both day and night conditions. This makes the module highly effective in dynamic combat scenarios where threats may emerge from multiple directions, including low-altitude aerial targets.
With seating for up to 10 soldiers, the module retains its transport capability while significantly increasing its combat effectiveness, bridging the gap between standard APCs and dedicated infantry fighting vehicles.
LORE
In 2060, the Sawyer Isles Defense Force (SI.DF) identified a capability gap within its Heavy Combined Arms Brigades (HCAB). While the Vulta APC Module provided mobility and protection, it lacked the sustained firepower required to operate alongside main battle tanks and armored units during high-intensity engagements.
The solution was the Infantry Combat Module.
Designed to operate in direct coordination with SI.DF armored formations, the module equips Vulta platforms with the firepower necessary to support advancing units, suppress enemy positions, and counter light armored threats. Its radar-assisted targeting system also allows it to engage low-flying helicopters — a growing concern in modern engagements.
By maintaining full modular compatibility, the SI.DF ensured that units could rapidly transition between transport and combat roles without requiring entirely new vehicles. A Vulta configured for logistics one day could be re-equipped for frontline combat the next.
Within HCAB doctrine, the Infantry Combat Module serves as a force multiplier — combining mobility, firepower, and adaptability into a single platform capable of responding to rapidly changing battlefield conditions.
