A large hatch is also provided in the centre of the fighting compartment for firing weapons. The on-board cooling system enables the vehicle to operate at ambient temperatures up to 50°C.

The front armoured shield of the crew cab is equipped with a dual heating circuit to prevent icing and fogging.

The armour is further reinforced with removable spall liner for providing improved protection against ballistic threats.

The Cayman vehicle also offers anti-mine protection. The partially V-shaped bottom deflects the impact of landmine or improvised explosive devices (IED), while the floor in the landing areas is reinforced with add-on armour.

The base variant of the Cayman is installed with a pintle mount for a weapon. The weapon mount is surrounded by an armoured shield, which protects the gunner against splinters and small-calibre rounds. Three smoke grenade launchers are fixed on either side of the vehicle. Optionally vehicle can be armed with a range of weapon stations and armament.
