===Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC)=== OMC vehicles were developed for and successfully deployed in [[Angola]] and [[Namibia]] during the [[South African Border War]]. This harsh environment demanded good mobility as well as protection against [[anti-tank mine]]s. The [[Casspir]] APC pioneered technology such as specially welded and shaped hulls to provide protection against mines. OMC's modern armoured personnel carriers are popular with most international peace keeping forces, because of the level of mine-protection offered as well as the ease of maintenance and manoeuvrability of wheeled APCs. Countries and organizations using these vehicles include [[South Africa]], [[Canada]], the [[United Nations]], [[United States]], [[Sweden]] and [[Blackwater Security]] amongst others. * [[Casspir]], 4x4 wheeled APC, first version introduced in the 1980s. * [[Mamba APC|Mamba]], 4x4 wheeled APC, crew of 12. * [[RG-12]], aimed at riot control, 4 wheel drive, crew of 12. * [[RG-31 Nyala]], 4x4 wheeled APC, crew of 10 (driver + nine). * [[RG-32 Scout]], 4x4 wheeled APC, crew of 5. * [[RG Outrider]], 4x4 wheeled APC, crew of 4. * [[RG-33]], 4x4 or 6x6 wheeled APC. * [[RG-34]]. 4x4 wheeled APC, crew of 5. * [[Pinzgauer_High-Mobility_All-Terrain_Vehicle|Pinzgauer 4x4 and 6x6 all terrain vehicles]] * [[Ratel_IFV#Derivatives|Iklwa]], modernised version of the [[Ratel IFV|Ratel]] [[infantry fighting vehicle]].
