The Bushmaster is a constant four-wheel drive vehicle. It has been designed with a V-shaped armoured hull, which deflects blasts from underneath the vehicle. This capability provides the ability to protect troops inside the vehicle.

The Bushmaster is deployable by Australian Defence Force (ADF) air, road and sea assets and has integrated battle management and communication systems within the vehicle.

The Bushmaster has demonstrated superior protection levels for the ADF on Operations in the Middle East and has been continuously upgraded by Thales in response to the lessons learnt by the ADF on operations.
