Foxhound

The General Dynamics Ocelot, originally known as the Force Protection Ocelot, is a British infantry mobility vehicle that replaced the United Kingdom's Snatch Land Rover with British forces. It received the service name Foxhound, in line with the canine names given to other wheeled armoured vehicles in current British use such as Mastiff, Wolfhound, and Ridgeback, which are all variants of the Cougar. The goal in replacing the Snatch Land Rover was to improve protection of personnel against improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
