Lahko kolesno oklepno vozilo Valuk (LKOV, "Light wheeled armoured vehicle") is an improved version of Pandur 6X6 APC (armored personnel carrier), manufactured under a license manufacturing agreement with the Austrian company, Steyr Daimler Puch Spezialfahrzeug AG & Co KG (now part of General Dynamics Land Systems – Europe), by Sistemska Tehnika of Slovenia for the Slovenian Army.[unreliable source?]
It is named after the Carantanian duke Valuk.
The transport version is equipped with either a 12.7 mm machine gun or a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher. The mortar-carrier version carries a CARDOM 120 mm mortar.
The scout version is equipped with a stabilised Overhead Weapon Station supplied by the Rafael Israel Armament Development Authority. The Overhead Weapon Station OWS-25 is armed with a 25 mm Bushmaster automatic cannon and a 7.62 mm coaxial machine gun. The weapon station can be fitted with externally mounted TOW long-range anti-tank guided missiles.
The gunner can survey, acquire and track a target, aim and fire from inside the turret with a closed hatch, or in a head-out position. The gunner's station is equipped with a day and night periscope sight. The day periscope sight has a unity magnification window with a collimated aiming circle and an 8× magnification sight with a ballistic reticle. The night periscope sight has a unity magnification window and an image intensifier x7.5 magnification passive night elbow.
The main components of the observation system are:
The standard armoured protection is rated to withstand 7.62 mm armour-piercing rounds through a full 360 degrees, and 12.7 mm armour-piercing rounds over a 30-degree frontal arc.
Rafael has supplied a passive add-on ceramic armour kit for the Valuk, which provides 12.7 mm AP round protection over the full 360 degrees.
