Ultra-Lightweight Combat Vehicle refers to a highly mobile, unarmored ground vehicle tailored for airborne infantry operations. Aerospace engineers and loadmasters design and certify these vehicles specifically to fit inside cargo helicopters or to survive low-velocity airdrops from transport planes. Their dimensions and weight are strictly constrained by the payload limits of the aircraft that deliver them.
