Technology & Combat Characteristics[]
A light armor vehicle used by ZAFT. It has four-wheel steering, and a modular weapon platform mounted on the back, to increase the vehicle's versatility in the field.

History[]
First Alliance-PLANT War[]
The Connected Armored Vehicle was mainly operated as support machines for maintaining public safety, traffic restrictions, and ground combat in the towns of the PLANT Colonies and other territories. During the First Alliance-PLANT War, the vehicle was used for support in ground combat and was most notably used by Andrew Waltfeld forces during his occupation of North Africa.[1][2]
Second Alliance-PLANT War[]
The Connected Armored Vehicle was still in service by C.E. 73, with many stationed at Armory One.[3] They were also used during the Phantom Pain attack during the Battle of Berlin, to no avail.[4][5]
Foundation Conflict[]
After the war, many were exported to the Kingdom of Foundation where they were used to defend the Foundation's border in the buffer zone with the Eurasian Federation during the Eldore Incident where several were destroyed when several refugees that had been given explosives by Blue Cosmos detonated next to them.
Later several were used by ZAFT coup d'état faction under Hari Jagannath during the taker over of the PLANTs. Later they were seen being easily cleared out by loyalist BuCUEs during the suppression of the coup.
