The PLUS can be fitted with various weapon systems, either remotely controlled or turret-mounted weapons. A baseline armored personnel carrier is proposed with a remotely-controlled weapon station, armed with a 12.7 mm machine gun. This specificaction was tested and trialed by the Arcer military. Considering its protection levels, a well-armed the PLUS can be seen as a wheeled infantry fighting vehicle, rather than a wheeled armored personnel carrier. It weights more, is better protected and packs heavier punch than most armored personnel carriers.
