Precision Engineered

360° Protection

The SPYDA Armoured Light Tactical Vehicle (ALTV) is a highly durable and mission-adaptable protected mobility platform engineered to meet the demanding operational requirements of modern security and peacekeeping environments.

Built on the legendary Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series chassis platform, the SPYDA ALTV combines the unmatched reliability of the Land Cruiser heritage with advanced protective engineering, enhanced durability, and superior off-road mobility.

Developed by Buckler Land Systems, the SPYDA is designed as a protected alternative to conventional unarmoured utility vehicles used in high-risk operational environments where personnel safety, survivability, and operational continuity are critical.

The passenger cabin is fully armored with large, uninterrupted ballistic plates composed of premium-grade armored steel for maximum protection.

Vehicles are equipped with fully armored doors, floor panels, roofs, and ballistic overlaps, creating an uncompromised level of security.

Critical structural points are reinforced for durability and reliability, while other modifications may be made to maintain vehicle characteristics.

BLS armoring materials are manufactured to reflect the vehicle’s original design while enforcing a high level of security that remains discreet.

All armoring designs are prototyped and subsequently fabricated by our engineers and are proprietary to our organization.

Ballistic standards are tested by accredited 3rd-party laboratories to certify bullet resistance to internationally accepted standards.

Standard Features For

BLS Armoured SPYDA LTV

360º perimeter protection

The passenger cabin, roof and floor of the vehicle are protected from ballistic fire and blasts to ensure the safety of all passengers.

Military grade ballistic glass

High-quality ballistic glass provides protection from every angle, while maintaining a clear view and replicating the OEM model’s curve for near undetectable armoring.

Armored door overlap system

BLS proprietary ballistic door overlap system features a ballistic overhang edge to prevent ammunition from penetrating the door seams.

Rear armored bulkhead partition

An armored rear bulkhead with an integrated swing-out door allows protected access between the cabin and trunk.

Military grade runflat system

Solid polycarbonate inserts reinforce the structure of the rims in order to enable continued vehicle operation and driving stability in the event that tires are punctured.

Fuel tank protection

The armored enclosure shields the fuel tank to prevent penetrations that could trigger a critical failure through fire or explosion.
