The APC is fitted with a standard crew-served 12.7 mm machine gun as its main weapon. Hanwha Defense also offers the option of equipping the vehicle with a 12.7 mm and a 30 mm remote weapon station (RWS) or a 90 mm cannon.
Tigon APC will undergo a number of trials in Malaysia within this month. An initial requirement could be up to 50 units with an upper limit of 100 vehicles said to be required.
